I know what you are going to say, soda is bad and diet soda is even worse! I know, I know, but as a new Ketonian, reformed sugarholic, and diabetic, I find my self exhausted with all the water I drink. On occasion, I like to have a soda. Where I come from, we call it soda. Pop, soda, soft drink, or whatever you call it, is enjoyed by hundreds of millions around the world. I'm just one of those and I am a hardcore recycler so...shhhhh!
My uncle was a long time accountant for Coca-Cola and we had access to large amounts of heavily "discounted" Coke products. My Dad was a proponent of diet soda way back in the day but never shared with us kids. Turns out it was a good thing. He liked...
We never really cared for this disgusting drink but Dad loved the stuff. He drank it all the time because he had a milk allergy. Milk always tasted great to me as a kid but when Squirt was available, man that was amazing. But I digress. Along came...
For most of my life (I know better now), I was a coke only drinker. If I went to restaurant and they said "is Pepsi OK?", the response was "No, it is not!". The feeling of the first swig of an ice cold Coca-Cola has always been one of the greatest sensations known to man...
I knew I had to make a change in my soda consumption but hated the taste of Diet Coke. I tried several different Diet options but never came across anything other that Diet Mountain Dew that satisfied my cravings.
Well, all that changed in 2005 when The Coca-Cola Company introduced...
It was a match made in heaven, for me at least. We have been close ever since. It has been a good relationship and we were getting along great until I heard the announcement that the same Coca-Cola Company had New Coked my beloved Coke Zero and launched...
I my honest, unqualified opinion...this tastes just like Coca-Cola Classic. I don't know what voodoo they performed or how many unicorns were bled to make this concoction, but I don't care! It's my new favorite when the rare time comes for me to indulge in the comforting cold cola goodness.
Love the post and your humor! Do you find a difference between the old Coke Zero and new Coke Zero Sugar? Haven't tried it yet.
...here in the South we call everything 'Coke' be it coke, sprite, root beer, pepsi, etc. The only difference is Dr. Pepper, which is always on it's own :)

Thanks, the Coke label is due to Atlanta (Coke's headquarters) and Dr. Pepper is very Texas. As to the difference between Coke Zero (CZ) and Zero Sugar (ZS), imho, CZ tried very hard to mimic CCC but came up short. ZS, on the other hand, nailed it. The Coke Choke on the first pull, the smell, and mouth feel. Everything you would expect from Classic Coke.
Thanks for stopping by and Steem On!

Exactly. Because it's "Club Soda", not "Club Pop".
