Honestly sometimes you just want something for hydration and has a bit of flavor don’t get me wrong I love water but you know sometimes you want something that safety without having to worry about calories or caffeine.
How did it taste?
Zero taste… Would be fitting
Ok
It’s not useless. It’s marketing, pure capitalist marketing. Always has been. CocaCola is not a beverage company, it’s a marketing company.
- may i have a pepsi?
- is marketing ok?
All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi, but she wouldn’t give it to me… Just a Pepsi.
Just a new can. They’ve been selling caffeine free Coke Zero for 15 years, and caffeine free Diet Coke for even longer.
It’s just soda then?
🌏👨🚀🔫👨🚀
Yeah yeah I know what Coca cola is. I’m asking what’s left in it after removing caffeine and sugar.
Various chemical compounds that make most of the flavour of the drink, sugar free sweetners and that’s it
A bubbly cola favored beverage.
It’s a cola flavored sugar free soda.
- Diet coke w or w/o caffeine = aspartame
- Coke Zero w or w/o caffeine = aspartame + Ace-K
Different artificial sweeteners with slightly different taste profiles.
Yeah… I don’t drink Coke often but I like caffeine free diet coke / coke zero. I don’t want the sugar and I don’t need caffeine.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯We used to get caffeine free Diet Coke or Pepsi in the 80s for elementary school pizza parties.
It made the best burps.
Meanwhile people would take extra sugar extra caffeine and the OG coke too
Jolt Cola: All the sugar. Twice the caffeine.
Coca-cola famously tried to sell bottled tap water in the UK as Dasani, but they abandoned it after they were very quickly exposed and ridiculed.
Next up - Coca Cola Still: all the same refreshing taste of Coke, but without any carbonation! Life is busy, just be Still.
Not going to lie, that’s a good tagline.
I know, I’m kinda ashamed of myself.
No no, don’t be! Unless it’s like your kink or smth then uh… Go ahead?
Nothing that complex, I just think Marketing is just sanctioned official bullshit and wish it would go away. Informational advertising I get, but Marketing? Fuck no. That’s just the sharp tip of consumerism trying to skewer you.
Ey, I agree with you. Marketing shouldn’t exist
hmm, new: coke null!! no caffeine, no calories, no sweeteners, no carbonation, no added color, neutral ph…
Available at faucets everywhere.
i always let the carbonation escape before i drink it, as i don’t like it. i like the taste however
I mean it’s not far off in some unfortunate circumstances. I remember years ago I’ve heard of towns in Mexico that lack clean drinking water and people were drinking Coke because of the water it contained. Idk why, but that really stuck with me.
Edit: I think it was this article
Homeopathic cola
Tastes delicious and isn’t 250 cals a bottle you nerd.
Yes, but no. In this fucked up world some zeros are bigger than others.
thirst principles
Doesn’t the USA use the word “calories” sometimes for kilocalories in food? So they divide the actual amount of calories by 1000. They also round certain things down, so that when they say “zero calories”, the can can actually have “3600 calories”?
Rounding happens but no, you’ll find nothing when that kind of delta and it’ll be of zero consequences.
kCal is a normal measurement in the UK too. I think anything being 4 kCal is probably negligible
4 kCal is a lot, around twice what a normal person needs per day. There is cal (small calorie) and Cal (large calorie), 1 Cal is 1000 cal or 1 kcal, 1 kCal would be 1000 kcal or 1 Mcal.
US FDA nutritional guidelines are based on 2,000 kilocalories a day. Europeans use kilojoules to the same effect.
I’m not sure any food in the USA uses a single calorie as a measurement of anything, because kilocalories make more sense in terms of units of scale in the human diet.
2000000 of anything sounds like a lot, so why not use prefixes to simplify?
Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_food_energy_intake
According to the FAO, the average minimum daily energy requirement is approximately 8,400 kilojoules (2,000 kcal) per adult and 4,200 kilojoules (1,000 kcal) a child.[3] This data is presented in kilojoules, as most countries today use the SI unit kilojoules as their primary measurement for food energy intake,[4] with the exception of the USA,[5] Canada,[6] and the UK, which use kilocalories or both.
Yes, and then they have a whole thing about how under 5 kcal per serving can be rounded to zero because it’s negligible.
That’s why despite nobody on the planet having ever eaten a single tic tac at a time, the serving size is 1 tic tac. That’s only 4 kcal, so in the US they can call it a “calorie-free snack”
Water that tastes fuckin well good? Sign me up
So, Water…?
Hahaha yeah no I’m drinking that daily, I don’t have a sugar problem, I dont have a cafein problem, I have a soda problem
Tbh you probably shouldn’t be drinking any of their products on a daily basis…
Especially dasani
Yeah alcoholics shouldnt drink alcohol daily either
