Always amusing to see a New Coke product.
No
600 ml ~ 20 fluid oz
They can keep the green bottle and the propaganda but I’d like to try the product.
I have an idea for a new product - Coca Cola Death. Black on black label.
You can drink one bottle. On the second, you die.
Millions of libs would drink the stuff just to find out if it worked.
Same here, I want to try the product, but green is unappealing.
Nobody heard him, the dead man,
But still he lay moaning:
I was much further out than you thought
And not waving but drowning.
Poor chap, he always loved larking
And now he’s dead
It must have been too cold for him his heart gave way,
They said.
Oh, no no no, it was too cold always
(Still the dead one lay moaning)
I was much too far out all my life
And not waving but drowning.
— Stevia Smith (zero calories)
Safeway sells their flavored seltzer water with orange, lime and mixed berry flavors. No sugar or artificial sweeteners. They are great and 0 calories. Wish they would have a cola flavor. I can’t believe Coke or Pepsi have not done something similar.
Later this evening I am going to make Kool-Aid (the real kind you drink) with Stevia. haven’t had Kool-Aid in 40 years.
You are right about the green: generally, in food marketing, green is avoided like the plague, especially around meat, etc. There are some exceptions, but rare.
Christmas ...
Coca Cola Hemlock®
Green?? So now Cola Cola will have two chapters in college marketing text books on the subject of marketing failures.
crash and burn.
I’d just like to have an original Coke made with cane sugar, not GMO corn syrup.
Beside me.
Mexican Coke, made with real sugar. Costco was selling it for a long time but I stocked up and have not checked lately.
Stevia has a nasty after-taste to me. Kind of like licorice, which I like on it’s own, but unpleasant in other
food items.
Stevia is an awesome sweetner. It doesn’t have an after taste and isn’t poison like all the others.
I have been buying Zevia soft drinks, that come in three flavors that I know of. Root beer, cream soda and cola.
Another low glycemic sweetner is Agave Syrup. great in recipes. I use it in Ice tea and other things that I use to put honey on. These two products are an alternative for Diabetics.
