Advantages: fizzy

Disadvantages: sugar

When it comes to coke, I drink Diet Coke almost all of the time. With no sugar, it's just so much healthier (in my opinion) to Coca Cola. Whenever I am in a pub, I find it a bit embarrassing to ask for Diet Coke, and often end up with Coca Cola: yuck!

It used to have cocaine in it, but those days are long gone. Now it's ram packed with a much more dangerous drug: sugar!

This fizzy soft drink is the same as other colas in the sense that it's carbonated, full of caffeine, has caramel colouring in it etc etc, but it tastes so different.

The main thing I notice when drinking it is how sticky and sickly it is. It's almost like drinking treacle. I can't get over how different it is to diet coke (my drink of choice). This should be no surprise when you look at the nutritional info:

each 100ml serving has 10g of sugar and 41 calories in it! It's no wonder it tastes like treacle.

To be honest, the fizziness is very good, and it doesn't go flat easily. It looks good, and is packaged in attractive bottles of various sizes or cans. Price-wise, it's the same as Diet Coke, but tends to be on offer less in my experience.

All in all, it's too sickly, and Diet Coke has all of its strengths, plus no sugar and almost no calories. I don't understand anyone choosing this over diet coke, unless you're afraid to say it in the pub like I am!

Summary: don't bother
