Coke Zero kicks ass

**alnorth** · 07-16-2005, 09:44 PM

OK, so I've been a hopeless Coca-Cola addict my whole life. That ended when I decided to lose weight, its difficult to justify hundreds of calories in one damned 20oz bottle. Since Diet Coke tastes like moldy pig vomit, that wasnt an option. (I have no idea what that tastes like, just a guess) So, I've been getting by on Tea, Water, sometimes one of those propel water things that gatorade makes. The Splenda Coke.. eh, not bad. Coke Zero though... if you have a regular coke and a coke zero side by side, you might be able to tell the difference, but youd have to be picky.

In other words, Coke Zero is Coke with no calories. As far as I'm concerned, there is no longer any reason for anyone to buy regular Coke in the store anymore, unless your suffering malnutrition and need to get energy in your body quick. In addition to that, Coke zero has the added benefit of having no "high fructose corn syrup" Whats that, you ask? You know how when you drink coke, your toungue gets dried out after a while, and some weird junk coats the back of your throat? Yeah, no more of that with Coke Zero.

For the love of God, please go to the store and buy enough of this stuff to last you a nuclear winter. Stock your fridge, then buy a cooler just to store more Coke Zero. I dont care if its late at night right now, get out the door while your thinking about it. I know it looks weird and gothic with the black cap and black/white label, but I need the Coca-Cola company to make a mint on this so they dont even think about discontinuing their new offering.

I got a free promotional bottle of Coke Zero two weeks ago. It tastes pretty much like Siberian Yak piss. Weeks-old Siberian Yak piss. After a degenerate dog has shit in it.

IOW, I don't think anyone needs to worry about the sale of Diet Coke slumping anytime soon.

Coke Zero is not for Diet Coke fans. Diet Coke has its own f'd up taste that doesnt resemble regular Coca-Cola at all. Diet Coke drinkers hate Coke. To Coke drinkers who are worried about calories, they should give this one a try.

I have no idea what Coke One tastes like, but given how bad Diet Coke tastes I cannot believe it can taste worse than Regular Diet Coke.

Just drink water. Your kidneys will work better, and your penis will thank you when it doesn't have to pass the kidney stones.

I do, I have been drinking that gatorade propel stuff for so long, that I kind of like it now. I'm the reason why Wal-Mart stocks entire endcaps with those things. (I buy those big 1 dollar bottles, then make it last longer by watering it down into smaller bottles with tap water 50/50.) Its just that after drinking coke for about 20 years, I kind of missed it once in a while, and Coke Zero lets me fill that void.

How much stock in Coca-Cola DO you own?

Seriously, you're right on the money.

Diet Coke=ass
Coke Zero=pretty damn good!
I'm a long time Coke drinker, tried Zero recently and I like it.

Now I digress: Was sitting in a restaurant with a date a while back, and the waitress came for our drink order. She asked, "Do you have Coke?" Waitress said, "Pepsi."

She replied, "I'll just have water, then." Me: GAWDAM! That's my kind of girl!

Eh, we broke up anyway.

I was a soda junkie my entire life, but gave up all soda drinks a year and a half ago. I took a sip of both Coke and Sprite in that time, and couldn't stand either. It was like trying to drink molasses, just plain nasty.

Hah, I would seriously buy some coke stock, but my 401k only lets me invest in mutual funds and my own company stock. (and as everyone knows after Enron and Worldcom, only idiots buy their own company stock, unless your getting a discount. You already run the risk of unemployment if your company tanks, you shouldnt risk your savings as well!)

Yeah, no sh*t. I had one of those little bastards 5yrs ago. WAY too many sodas. Cut most of 'em out, now I drink mostly water, maybe a Coke or two. No way I want that kind of pain again.

**Iowanian** · 07-16-2005, 10:36 PM

Its completely irrelevant to the Coke discussion.....but tonight, as I dined at an Italian place that was outside of my comfort zone, I tried a Blue Moon Beer, due to reviews on the planet. It was good. I don't like Snob Beer usually, but that was just fine.
