wtf - vitamin coke?!, originally uploaded by scottobear.

so, healthy (har har) soda pop! tastes like diet ass.

According to the nutritional label, Diet Coke Plus includes 25% of the recommended daily allowance of niacin (vitamin B3), vitamin B6, and vitamin B12 as well as 15% of the RDA for magnesium and zinc in each 12-ounce serving. It is sweetened with an aspartame/ACE-K blend that has become the industry norm for just about every diet drink nowadays. (The zinc adds a nasty aftertaste, I think)

did you notice the zinc aftertaste, too?

[dcl.livejournal.com]

Didn't notice a thing, actually.

My wife would tell you that's normal for me. Heh.

I'm beginning to wonder exactly where coke does their market research, if at all.

The packaging is so cute that I was tempted. I think I might be a marketing whore. The idea was enought to stop the purchase. Blech!
