So i tried the new C2 Lower sugar coke today. Overall, not great though not bad. I
guess they're trying to get that crowd that thinks Coke is too sweet and
diet coke tastes bad. I like both but this hybrid seems to lack the
greatness of both sides. Coke for its intense sugar and cool flavor. And
Diet coke for its no calorie guilt free feeling. I was hoping they'd make C2
a coke with just less sugar, but Ithink they've put in artificial sugars in
as C2 contains Aspertain which is the same incredient in DC that has been
linked to some cases of Alzyemers. The Aspertain stuff scares me as I
wouldn't be surprised if it was a partical cause for alzhemers because I'm
paranoid about things like that.
I like the C2 better than Diet Coke. Even if it has some artificial sweetener, at least it is not as much as DC. However, as a member of the "too sweet crowd" I think that a 2/3 - 3/4 sugared coke with no additional artificial sweetener would be perfect.
