Half the carbs. Half the sugar. Half the calories. I tried it today expecting it to have half the flavor as well, but amazingly it tasted little different than the original. I suppose this means I'll probably start drinking it to make my parents happy, lol.

This opinion is of course coming from a Coca-cola addict (Pepsi and all pepsi related-cola=nasty), so my opinion may be biased. OH, except I think Pepsi Vanilla is really good

Hey if they can make that, then they can make double the carbs, double the sugar and double the calories for me! If it's not toxic and hazardous to your health I'm not going anywhere near it!

Is this some government intiative to reduce the number of fat kids in America?

If so, Australia should get it too - we have lots of fat kids. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

(That's what the ABS keeps telling us!)

Hmm, what's the catch? I remember hearing that Coca Cola Light is extremely unhealthy. I never drink Coca Cola myself but there's gotta be a catch. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Cola Light is about as unhealthy as sparkling water. Very hazardous to your teeth that is, but since it basically contains zero calories it cannot make you fat or anything.

Anyway, Cola with half the calories is still a hell of a lot of empty calories, sure hope no one buys something like that thinking they're being "healthy". I used to be an extreme cola addict myself, at my worst averaging 10-15 litres per week, but quit drinking it a few months ago. I can honestly say I don't miss it one bit.

[/QUOTE]I was the same with Pepsi, but now I don't either or. After drinking diet Pepsi for so long, drinking Pepsi again just leaves behind a weird after taste.

10-15 litres a week??! Bloody hell! I do a lot of sport and still only drink around max. 2 litres of coke or similar soft drinks per week. Then again, my sport drinking bottle is generally filled with water. For the record, I hate the taste of diet coke - nowhere near sweet enough
