Okay so this review isn't exactly of a show but I thought some of you might be
interested. If not, I apologize in advance for the temporary intrusion to your
inbox. If you don't care about Coke then I suggest you stop reading now and
delete this email. Sorry for those of you who get this twice.

I recently had the opportunity to enjoy a Coca-Cola. Only this was a new
Coca-Cola. It was the new product dubbed "C2." Half the calories, half the
carbs. But what does it taste like? I'd have to say it doens't lose much.
Looking at the label C2 actually has LESS than half the calories of a regular
Coke*. 45 calories as compared to 100 on Coca-Cola Classic. Total Carb for C2
is 12g compared to 27g for Coca-Cola Classic. Sodium is still about the same.
30mg for C2 and 35mg for Coca-Cola Classic.

It doens't taste like a diet drink (as I half way expected it to.) It has all
the full flavor of a coke only it still feels a bit empty or lacking. To
resolve this, simply put some rum in it. Yes, that was a joke but I have a
feeling that Bacardi jumped the gun on their commercials about a rum and coke
being healthy if you have a rum and DIET coke. I believe that a rum and C2
would taste better. I digress. The lacking or empty taste isn't because of
formula. It's just been proven time and time again that you can't make
something healthy without changing the taste or leaving something more to be
desired. This review is coming from a hardcore Coca-Cola Classic drinker. If
you see me in a resturant ording a drink where only Pepsi products are served I
will most likely have tea or a root beer. Then it is likely I will not go back
to that resturant because I'm like that. I do have to give props to Regal
Cinema Fiesta 16 theatres in San Antonio though who now have Coke instead
of Pepsi. Call me petty but I would not like to go to that theatre because
they didn't have coke. At any rate, for a hardcore Coke fan such as myself, I'd
say it's interesting to try at least once. You might like it. I know I will be
buying more of it because I can honestly say that it's not bad. A word of
caution: It does contain Phenylalanine. I put that in bold cause it is bolded
on the C2 bottle. Look it up on Google if you don't know what it is, but
apparently it's an amino acid that snythesizes dopamine. Maybe that's why i'm
feeling happy right now. But any soft drink is empty calories. I just figure
if you're gonna drink empty calories you might as well drink a C2 and have half
of the calories to burn off. I don't say it'll cut your workout time in half
but you can lie to yourself and shave off 5 mintues from time to time when
you're tired and it will be partially justified.

*comparison based on 20oz bottles of C2 and Coca-Cola Classic. Serving size for
both is 8fl oz and both have 2.5 servings per bottle.

Blam-o
