Just wanted to report I've been quaffing Coke Zero for the past month or so and it has been EXCELLENT! For now – fingers crossed – the taste-consistency problems that have plagued Coke and Coke Zero haven't turned up in a long while. If the Coke Zero I've been drinking since the holidays continues to deliver the "good Coke" taste that I won't compromise on, I might switch permanently. . .

First time I tried it, I hated it. Years later, I tried a properly chilled can of Coke Zero, and I almost swore off regular Coke.

- – -Then, earlier this year, I bought some really nasty, weed-killer-tasting Coke Zero. I'm afraid to buy it again, but someone gave me a can last week, and it was very good.

Why the hell does Coca-Cola have such consistency issues with their products? At their best, they are the best beverages available. Unfortunately, somewhere between production, canning/bottling, warehouse and delivery, they manage to put some gross product out there for the unsuspecting consumer. Someday, it's going to bite them in the pocket book….Damn it!!

[...] PepsiCo pulls out the 1993 dance tune “What is Love” by Haddaway to promote Diet Pepsi Max. The commercial does a nice job to convey the primary attribute found in the soft drink, namely the increased caffeine and the inclusion of ginseng. The spot also does a nice job of continuing the marketing angle that Pepsi has been pushing with this beverage, namely that this “diet” drink isn’t just for women, which situates it nicely against Coca-Cola Zero.
