Has anyone tried C2?
It's low carb Coke made with half the sugar, using sucralose instead. It isn't bad, it tastes like Classic Coke rather than diet coke.

2. No, remember "Pepsi One?"
One calorie, one carb. It coexists with Diet Pepsi to this day.

To answer the original question, I didn't learn of C2's existence until yesterday.

5. No, it isn't Diet Coke
C2 does have sugar in it, just not as much. And it tastes like classic coke, not Diet Coke.

4. LOL Yes, knowing full well it is a marketing device
The whole concept of low carbohydrate surgar water being absurd, I bought a bottle and tried it out. If anything it is the worst of both worlds. It has that bad diet soda flavor but still has calories.

6. I agree.. and you know, water has no carbs
and no calories. It's also very refreshing and actually quenches your thirst, plus it's good for you!

This low carb thing is completely out of control. I realized that when they started selling beer as a "low carb" beverage.

9. Low carb beer? Alcohol is a carbohydrate!
I totally agree. It reminds me of the Great Oat Bran Craze, when oats were popping up in everything.

Having actually read Dr. Atkin's book, all these "low carb" junk and snack foods are absurd because they're exactly the kind of thing you're supposed to avoid: highly processed flours and sugars.

7. Tried it yesterday.
It tasted like a flat, flavorless store-brand knockoff to me. My lovely wife really likes it, though.
