Poll question: Coca-Cola C2 - is it worth the price?
I saw an ad coupon:

Three cases of C2 for $7.

Then I noticed the fine print:

Each case is an 8-pack.

Wow, that is appalling news.

Boycotting pepsico was hard, partly because of the artery-clogging potato chips (they own frito lay), but I haven't had Coke in years. O8) But easy knowing that their ABC special 'in search of america' was a 2 hour promo for these creeps shoveling the faux capitalism...

Will sign the petition... thanks!

4. A case is an 8 pack?
That sounds like a joke I heard. You know what a Polish 6 pack is? 4 beers - HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

But seriously now, I read the ingredients of the C2 and it just looks like its a combination of regular Coke and Diet Coke. It has SOME sugar and SOME Nutrasweet. So it probably tastes more like regularly Coke than Diet Coke does. Still empty calories and artificial this and that. Still not nearly as good for you as H2O.

6. Exactly.
I'm diabetic anyway, so it's diet soda or koolaid or water for me, anyway!

7. Love that water, it's nature's fruit juice! (quote from Al Bundy...)
Hmmm, sounds cheaper to buy a 24 case of both Coke and Diet Coke and mix 'em manually... :eyes: You're likely right that CocaCola company did exactly that...

5. just tried it today
it tastes like ass. Unless you can find sugar cane cola, don't drink soda. OR just drink half of what you normally drink of real Coke.

Pennsylvania mountain spring water can beat anything you can buy.

9. I tried it two nights ago--Blockbuster was handing out free samples
It sucked! It tasted WORSE than regular diet Coke and it had 70 calories.

If they want to make diet Coke taste better, they should just mix it with Pepsi.

13. Nope. It's almost as bad as the new "tiny" cans.
I can't believe people are buying "cute" cans of soda, which costs almost as much as larger cans.
