Also y'all have, like, Coke Light instead of Diet Coke

(or in addition to?)

but Diet w/Lime wins

Sherlock9

I've ben cuttin' out them PKU substances as part a me diet

Rubio

"supposed to" being the operative words there

GentlePurpleRain

6:56 PM

It was also developed because they determined that many people, especially men, would avoid anything with "Diet" in the title.

Rubio

oh and they've rebranded it to be "Coke Zero Sugar" now.

Does that mean Coke Zero with Sugar? hehe

GentlePurpleRain

That's the first thing I thought when you wrote that...
