When nothing is something

(Sorry A. in Phnom Pen, this is not a philosophical post. It's about soft drinks.)

The Coca-cola Company has come out with yet a new variant of Coke and Sprite. They call it Zero. The tag line is "real taste. zero sugar." As you might guess it's diet Coke that tastes like real Coke. The Coca-cola Company has finally realized that they can't fool around with the formulations of their existing products, and if they want to, they'll have to come out with a new product. (Seriously, what got into them when they re-formulated Coke? That was definitely a low point in history.)

Both Coke Zero and Sprite Zero are for those folks who want a sugar free cola, but don't like the taste of Diet Coke (marvelous) or Diet Sprite (I would rather choke on my own vomit than drink this stuff).

The verdict is in -- Coke Zero is pretty good. Tastes almost like the Real Thing. I'm still gagging on Sprite Zero.
