Any Pepsi fans out there? Soda's kind of a boring topic huh? Sorry.
More of a Coca Cola guy myself. It could always get worse. Could have been endangered snails.
Snails? Hmm..Diet Coke entered the market in 1982. nasty stuff though.
Diet Coke is more artificial than anything else. Coca Cola was originally meant to be used as a medicinal remedy. Kind of went the wrong way with it though.
Diet Coke
Diet Coke (called Coca-Cola Light in some countries) is a sugar-free and no-calorie soft drink produced and distributed by The Coca-Cola Company. It contains artificial sweeteners instead of sugar. Unveiled on July 8, 1982, and introduced in the United States on August 9, it was the first new brand since 1886 to use the Coca-Cola trademark. The product quickly overtook the company's existing diet cola, Tab, in sales.
History.
When diet colas
as Diet 7 Up in 1970. It was renamed Sugar Free 7 Up in 1973 then back to Diet 7 Up in 1979. Coca-Cola countered by releasing Diet Coke in 1982. After the release of Diet Coke, Tab took a backseat on the Coca-Cola production lines; Diet Coke could be more easily identified by consumers as associated with Coca-Cola than Tab. Additionally, a study was released claiming that saccharin was a possible carcinogen, leading to Coca-Cola's decision to decrease the production of Tab
