  Coca-Cola C2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coca-Cola C2 (also referred to as Coke C2, C2 Cola, or simply C2) is a cola-flavored beverage introduced by The Coca-Cola Company first in Japan, then later on June 7, 2004 in the United States, in response to the low-carbohydrate diet trend.
It contains aspartame, acesulfame potassium, and sucralose in addition to the high fructose corn syrup typically found in cola beverages distributed in America.
Though like many other brands that have lost popularity, availability of C2 has been drastically reduced since the low-carb craze didn't pan out as a permanent solution for weight loss for many.

Even with less than half of the food energy and carbohydrates of standard soft drinks, C2 is not a replacement for zero-calorie soft drinks such as Diet Coke.

 [No title]
It ends up that Coca-Cola C2 is nothing more than a carbonated soft drink with half the sugar (actually half the high-fructose corn syrup) and therefore half the calories of regular cola.
Consider it a mid-calorie cola, since it's halfway between the zero calories of the diet and 140 calories of a 12-ounce can of regular Coke.
C2 is the first in a new wave of mid-calorie soft drinks; Pepsi is doing the same with Pepsi Edge.

 Fool.com: McDonald's Pushes C2 [Motley Fool Take] June 14, 2004
It seems like C2 might be beating PepsiCo's (NYSE: PEP) Edge to the punch, as Coca-Cola C2 is being tested in McDonald's chains in several major cities.
CNN reported that last Friday through Sunday, customers in participating McDonald's were offered either a free C2 with any purchase or a free can of the soda with an extra-value meal.
The testing phase will be used to determine whether there's enough consumer interest in Coca-Cola C2 to permanently carry it as an option, which of course could give it an advantage over Pepsi Edge.

 Coke goes after low-carb biz - May. 25, 2004
NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Coca-Cola's ad for the new C2 cola may be set to the Rolling Stones' classic "You Can't Always Get What You Want." But Coke's North American president doesn't seem to be buying that message when it comes to expectations for the low-carb, mid-calorie cola.
But whether C2 will actually give Coke a leg up in the infamous cola wars remains to be seen -- especially since archrival PepsiCo Inc. (PEP: Research, Estimates) is also gearing up to release its own low-carb soda called "PepsiEdge" in mid-June.
With C2, Coke appears to be capitalizing on the popularity of diets such as Atkins and South Beach, since the new cola is billed as having half the carbs, half the calories and half the sugar of regular Coke.

 USATODAY.com - Coke to launch mid-calorie cola in Japan, U.S.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Coke to launch mid-calorie cola in Japan, U.S. ATLANTA (Reuters) — Coca-Cola (KO) will launch a new mid-calorie version of its flagship cola brand in Japan, followed by the United States this summer, the world's largest soft drink maker said Monday.
Coca-Cola C2 will arrive at a time when Coca-Cola is working feverishly to revitalize sluggish soft drink sales in North America, the largest and most important market for Coca-Cola and its nearest rival PepsiCo.
Although the introduction of a mid-calorie cola appears to make sense in a market where low-carbohydrate diets have become the rage, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo must ensure that new drinks do not cut into sales of their flagship cola and diet cola brands.
