Logan D. Hurricanes Posted March 30, 2023 Report Share Posted March 30, 2023 I just got a bottle of Coke's new experiment Move. (Zero Sugar version) https://us.coca-cola.com/products/coke-creations/rosalia-move-limited-edition-soda Having trouble placing the flavor, but it is familiar.

They'd never be that obvious...and repeat sales might be a bit problematic. Instead, they just nail you with 65 grams of sugar, in a 20 oz. regular bottle. https://thetakeout.com/coca-cola-move-tastes-like-10-things-new-flavor-review-1850172831 Read another article that also mentioned coconut and vanilla. It also mentioned that the fake sugar version was, to the writer, AWFUL...heavy on the chemical aftertaste of the sweetener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cygnia Posted March 30, 2023 Report Share Posted March 30, 2023 (edited) I haven't had a diet/Zero sugar soda in years. They gave me one (Canada Dry ginger ale) after a medical procedure a couple weeks ago. The sweetness was cloying and stuck in my mouth even a few hours afterwards 😛 Edited March 30, 2023 by Cygnia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclevlad Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 I don't recall my last one either. And, yeah, the most common no-carb sweeteners are MUCH sweeter than sugar...meaning, you can detect sweetness at much higher dilutions. It's really easy to mess up the sweetness level. I use liquid stevia for my morning smoothies...typically 2 parts strawberries, 1 part other fruit. Some plain non-fat yogurt, some unsweetened almond milk so it all blends. SOME sweetener is needed, or it's really flat, but 5 drops is enough. 10? Sweet. 13-15? Cloying. I just see no point to the diet drinks. Just looking at Wal Mart...a 12 pack of diet CDGA is $7, so about 60 cents each. I use Propel from Gatorade...zero sugar varieties. Carton of 12 boxes has gone up...used to get them cheap, but it still comes out to about 30 cents each...and flavors about 20 ounces, for me, just fine. (Used to be able to get it for about HALF of that, too.) I go through 2 a day, for most of the year...the heat's only a couple weeks away here, and even in December and January, it's SO dry down here that you still need to hydrate a lot. And one advantage: I don't run out. I buy a carton each, of the 2 flavors I like...240 packets. Lasts rather longer than even a case would. And...yeah, I never exactly explored them much, but the diet stuff I did try, was awful.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclevlad Posted April 2, 2023 Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 7 MILLION boxes a WEEK?????? Dunno about y'all but to me, that's kinda depressing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grailknight Posted April 2, 2023 Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 Less than 1 per 50 people per week. I'd actually expect more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclevlad Posted April 2, 2023 Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 Flip that. You can't count per person, because a box makes multiple servings. The company sheet lists 3 servings per small box. So you can say that about 1 person in 17 or so, has a serving of the stuff...every week. Also note, while Kraft is the dominant brand, it's not the ONLY one...so actual consumption rates are higher. I suspect the most common alternative would be Wal Mart's...for obvious reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
