So I saw something new down in the cafeteria this morning. No sooner did Coke sweetened with Splenda arrive then a new Coca-Cola product is on the market: Coca-Cola zero. Coke Zero is basically a different-tasting Coke than other Diet Coke. The drink will be sweetened partly with a blend of aspartame and acesulfame potassium. Aspartame is a key ingredient in Diet Coke, but a spokesman for the Atlanta-based company said Coca-Cola Zero will "have a unique taste." Sitting here sipping it, it tastes like regular coke without all the sugar. Not bad and a better calorie option as opposed to C2 coke which I did like but scoffed at 12g of sugar still with only 45 calories. If the sugar had been cut even more I'd have been satisfied.

And for your reading pleasure here's the Coca-Cola slogans over the years. My personal favorite is still Always Coca-Cola. And if I lived in 1907 I'm sure I'd be loving "Coca-Cola is full of vim, vigor and go - is a snappy drink."
