Though I'm trying to cut the sugar/carbs and caffeine as much as circumstances allow, anyway... Jim Bell's comments:I discovered Coke Zero a few years ago. It's a reasonably good copy of Coke. I had to change, I was diagnosed as Type 2 diabetic 18 years ago. I remember when they announced "New Coke" in 1985. Alone, that wasn't a threat. The threat was that they were intending to CANCEL old-Coke. I seriously considered renting a storage unit and buying a lifetime supply of old-Coke. Never actually did that, because I couldn't imagine how they could be so flaming STUPID as to force everyone onto a newer (and worse) product. Turns out I was right.But I also discovered, within the last few years, that cans of pop are NOT hermetically-sealed: They WILL lose their carbonation after a couple years, at least some of them.
