I’m not sure it’s a good sign for Coke’s marketing department when I have to hit the Wikipedia page to figure out what the hell their low-calorie least-nasty tasting cola product is.

I’m trying Coca-Cola Zero now (the zero is for zero sugar and zero calories) and trying to ignore the high price and slightly medicinal flavor. Pepsi‘s new low calorie offering is Pepsi Max (the max is for the MAXIMUM in low calories) so maybe I’ll try that one if this doesn’t pan out.

One thing I didn’t know is that Pepsi was originally called “Brad’s drink”. I think this is pretty important information.

I find the taste quite close to Coke Classic – certainly much better than Diet Coke – and identical to the “Coke Light” product they sell in Europe, which has always tasted pretty good to me. Switching to Coke Zero has damn near changed my life, cutting 300+ kcalories off my daily intake. 300 kcal x 30 = 9000 fewer kcal per month = 2.5 pounds lost! And indeed I lost 25 pounds this year without really changing my diet much otherwise.

I’m hoping I can adjust to it. My two Cokes a day are pretty much the only vice I have that I’ve been hard pressed to break. Mainly because without the caffeine I feel like I’m dead.

Giving tea a shot as well.

I much prefer the taste of guarana, the Brazilian drink.

My grocery store used to carry it, but now I can only find guarana as an ingrediant in “energy drinks”… which do NOT taste anywhere near as nice.

Pepsi Max has been around since 1993 n00b.
