Coke, Pepsi to Face Off in Carb Battle

Defee said:
Well i have tried Coca Cola C2 and it is really good! tastes like the
regular Coke but i can tell it is not as sweet as regular which it does
say it has half the sugar..have any of you tried it? If so, what do you
think of it?

I tried C2 a few times. I think it's pretty good. Unfortunately, I'll probably be stuck with Diet Pepsi or Pepsi Edge since RIT only sells Pepsi products... :(

I totally agree with you. Personally, I think the low carb coke/pepsi is bogus, because, what's the point? We already have DIET pepsi/coke. In my opinion, having a lower carb version of the sodas is just being redundant, and says a LOT for marketing. I bet you any amount of money that the lower carb sodas are more expensive than either the sugar laden sodas or the diet sodas... This is just :crazy: in my opinion.

As for the health aspects, NO soda is actually healthy, so if you are going for health, stick to something that is going to give you some nutrients and leave the soda alone. LOL

Well you are right about the price of lower carb sodas..I paid $2.99 for just six cans..that was :crazy: for me to pay for just 6 cans! I wont be buying anymore of those as i rather have Diet Vanilla coke than C2 cokes..besides they are cheaper! heh..

LOL Yup!

My personal choices are diet lime coke and diet vanilla pepsi. I tried the diet van. coke, and it was too sweet for me. LOL

how many more years is the contract with RIT (Pepsi)? I think they have a year or 2 left (thinking let see, I enter in 2000-2001, they say its 5 years... should be done by 2005)
 
I am surprised that a lot of people in my area like Coca-Cola C2. Whenever I am in mood for Coca-Cola, I would drink C2.

Right now, I'm drinking Diet Pepsi. I don't like the taste anymore now but I only bought two cases of 12-pack because they cost only five dollars for two cases at Kroger while a case of Coca-Cola 12-pack cost less than four dollars (not good buy though) but I bought a 12-pack of Diet Coke with Lime anyway, it is my most favorite of all.

Edit- Oh and Pepsi Edge tastes a lot better than Pepsi itself, but I ain't going to buy any more of Pepsi Edge!

Honestly, I'm not fan of cola, pepsi, lemonade, orangeade etc etc etc but my boys.

I only drink cola or pepsi to prevent diarrhea, also bitter chocolate (plain), too, that's all. My family use it too. It works.

I drink most is water, herbal tea, coffee, juices & milk.
 
mm think i will try Diet Coke with lime..sounds pretty good but
i did try Coke with lemon or was it Pepsi with lemon, i forget which
but i didnt like it so i wonder about Diet coke with lime..probably not
any different from lemon, heh?

You're still a student at RIT?

Anyway, I think the contract is for 10 years... not sure. I've been on campus a lot during the summer and haven't seen any hint of Coke coming back. :dunno:

Bingo to Liebling!!!! It do same to me, when I have bad diarrhea, I prefer Pepsi because it helps me alot...I stopped drinking soda since for while especially with diet pepsi because it give me stomach problem but use Pepsi for diarrhea is strange med to me haha...I am occasionally drinker of diet ginger ale, but most is sugar free drinks such as crystal lite and kool aid among with chai tea and water PLUS COFFFFFFEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
 
In additional...C2 Coke and Pepsi Edge taste good it is good for low carb diet level 3 or 4...but not RECOMMEND for people with diabetic smile...I always prefer diet ginger ale or diet 7UP :thumb:
 
I've always been a pepsi girl, Coke sucks! :nana:
 
:lol: haha...Remind me to ask your wife to go out with me for a drink... :D

U said prefer have diet lime coke or diet vanilla coke...it is good but keep in mind it CONTAINS ASPARTAME...this is why I prefer Diet Rite becuz it contains no aspartame, caffinee, sodium and nothing else added and it real awesome better than diet coke or pepsi...I am addicted to tangeraine diet rite....even some people label aspartame safe...it dont matter...this is why I dont like EQUAL sweetener..so I prefer SPLENDA sweetener better. But I urge you research how safe and bad aspartame is...

Unfortunately, it's not true...

The only way you could actually get sick from aspartame is if you were to eat 500 lbs of that stuff in one sitting.
