lol, that's so corny, why would u pick that over diet soda if u are carb counting??

the only reason i can think of is *maybe* they are using splenda instead, so those anal-retentive low-carbers who will avoid aspartame to all extents can incorporate a new splenda-based soda into their diets by counting the carbs from the sugar?

I dunno, it sounds stupid to me

Since the whole idea is for coke to make money, it's a great idea. They are doing a very good job of preying on the general public's nutritional ignorance. Sad isn't it?

Who needs Soda Anyway, nothing more refreshing than a tall glass of ice cold water

I use Splenda not just to avoid the aspartame of Equal and such, but also because Splenda tastes 100000x better.
