Happy 25th birthday, New Coke!

It's funny to me that you'd say Coke Zero is "Diet Coke for dudes." The local football stadium added Coke Zero to the fountain lineup this year. Early in the season, I went to the concession stand and ordered a Coke Zero. The old ladies behind the counter asked me "Is Coke Zero a guy drink or something?"

I was kind of surprised by the question. According to the ladies working, nearly 100% of the people that ordered Coke Zero were men. Never really crossed my mind that "Coke Zero" was a man's drink. I just explained that it was a diet drink that tasted more like regular Coca Cola than Diet Coke.

 

It is a great mixer.
If you are looking to cut calories.

 

Somebody has to do it ...


Anyway, I'm screwed. I drank Coca-Cola Zero to cut out sugar, but I've now given up caffeine for my blood pressure. No caffeine-free Coca-Cola Zero, so I'm limited to Diet 7UP now. I can't stand Diet Coke at all.

 

Actually, it went like this:

"Are you going to order something, kid?"

"Um yeah, give me a Tab."

"Tab, I can't give you a Tab unless you order something."

"Then give me a Pepsi Free,"

"If you want a Pepsi, pal, you'll haveta pay for it!"

"Just give me something without any sugar."

 

No mention of Crystal Pepsi can go without this:

Remember, someone photoshopped a Gratefruit Crystal Light cannister?

 

I looked and couldn't find it.

 

Thank you. Had a very nice Coke Zero and JD last night while watching baseball. You'd be hard-pressed to tell the difference between regular and Coke Zero with the JD.
