 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.
Aside from the high fructose corn syrup, one 355-ml can of Coca-Cola C2 contains 19 mg of aspartame, 4 mg of sucralose and 19 mg of acesulfame potassium.
It contains aspartame, acesulfame potassium, and sucralose in addition to the high fructose corn syrup typically found in cola beverages distributed in America.

 Coca-Cola - LearnThis.Info Enclyclopedia
Coca-Cola's name derived from the coca leaves and kola fruits used as flavoring.
Shortly after the turn of the century (1929), cocaine was removed from the coca leaves by processing (leaving a physiologically insignificant trace), and the amount of caffeine was reduced but not totally eliminated.
The distinctive "cola" flavor comes mostly from the mix of sugar and essential orange, lemon and vanilla oils.

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.
C2 is the first in a new wave of mid-calorie soft drinks; Pepsi is doing the same with Pepsi Edge.
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.

Coca-Cola Zero or Coke Zero is a zero calorie product of the Coca-Cola Company.

In terms of positioning, Coke Zero is being aimed at young adult males, who don't traditionally drink "diet" sodas.

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.

 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.
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.
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.
