Have you guys heard about Coca Cola C2? It was realeased here a few weeks ago, it says that it was supposed to be released in the states this month. Have any of you tried it? I have been an avid Coke fanatic for most of my life (thanks dad :)) and I know my Coca Cola. This C2 stuff isn't bad at all. It has half of the sugars, carbs, and calories of the original and actually tastes remarkably similar! My husband brought home a small sample can the day that it was released here in Japan and I tried a sip of both C2 and the original and couldn't pick which one was which!
I swear I don't work for them, I'm just excited about my favorite drink being healthier but no less tasty:) Try it! The worst that could happen is you won't like it.
LOS ANGELES - Coca-Cola Co. on Monday unveiled C2, a cola with about half the carbohydrates of the original, and a new advertising campaign designed to sell the drink to devotees of trendy Atkins-style diets.
Coca-Cola C2, featuring the familiar red label, but with black lettering instead of the traditional white, will be available in U.S. stores in early June, the company said at a promotional event in Hollywood.
Cola wars are brewing over the low-carb craze. Rival PepsiCo Inc. <PEP.N> said on Monday that it would launch its own mid-carbohydrate soda in mid-June.
An 8-ounce serving of C2 has 45 calories and 12 grams of carbohydrates, compared with 100 calories and 27 grams of carbohydrates with original Coke, the company said.
The start of Coca-Cola's ad campaign for C2, which features the tagline "Half the Carbs, Half the Cals, All the Great Taste," will be tied to the finals of the hit Fox talent show "American Idol" on Tuesday and Wednesday, the company said.
