Coke Zero?

Postby Matbow » Mon Jun 19, 2006 3:24 pm

I'm trying to get fit, so the first thing I've done is cut out the 2 cans of full fat coke I drink a day. Unfortunately I can't stand diet coke or pepsi. Bugger...until 30 minutes ago when at the supermarket I spotted Coke Zero - zero calories but all the coke taste. It's sat in the fridge chilling as I type...anyone else tried it?

This could be a great day! If it wasn't for the fact I crashed my car on the way back from the supermarket :(

I tried and I must say I didn't like it. It tasted like Diet Coke. Just try abandoning pop all together. Or if you need something sweet to drink, try Crystal Light.

Too bad about the car!

Coke Zero wasn't too bad. But like Bee said, best way to loose weight is to abandon all carbonated drinks altogether. And bottled juices.

GOod luck on the diet!

On the Coke zero - I like it! Much better than diet. :mrgreen:

Yakumo - I'm fine, car needs a new front wing, but still driveable. You'll see it tomorrow.

But the diet one had more vanilla taste and you didn't have the diet "after-taste". And that's what I liked about it.

I never knew and never could imagine that these things exist and are bought. Hu, for me it seems very, very strange ... What's next? Diet vanilla coke with strawberry extract that tastes like raspberry and with and little star glitter inside?

Well, I know diet coke and cherry coke (must be seome years ago they sold it - or do they still?). And I think somebody told me once about vanilla, but I didn't want to believe this. By the way you can't buy it here as far as I know (but I never drink any softdrink besides Tonic water - with gin)

Zero is better than diet.

Vanilla is better.
