  CarbWire - Coke C2 review
With the news that McDonald's is trying it out in some locations, Coke C2 has the possibility of being huge.
Coke C2 is marketed at Coca Cola Classic drinkers that don't like the taste of Diet Coke.

 Coke - C2 Low Carb Losses Fizz WSJ 10-20-04
In fact, C2 was a pivotal test of Coke 's overarching strategy to drive more-profitable growth by achieving higher margins on its drinks.
Coke 's scaling back of expectations for C2 underscores how ill-equipped the company and its bottlers are for the task of restoring growth in the U.S. Following a profit warning last month, Coca-Cola is expected to report a sharp drop in third-quarter earnings tomorrow.
And there were cryptic ad slogans on billboards for C2 that said, for example, "Half the political, all the party." Worst of all, many cola drinkers found C2's taste disappointing, complaining it was either too flat or had an aftertaste reminiscent of the aspartame in Diet Coke.

 Coca-Cola
Coke's major rival is Pepsi, which began as its imitator in the early 20th century.
When New Coke was introduced in 1985, the economy of Madagascar crashed, and only recovered after New Coke flopped, since New Coke used vanillin, a less-expensive synthetic substitute.
Coke is less popular in other places, including some Middle East and Asian countries such as Palestine and India — in the latter, due to suspicions regarding the health standards of the drink, and in the former, due to rumors that Coca-Cola supports Israel, or simply Anti-American sentiments.

 Coca-Cola C2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coca-Cola C2 (also referred to as Coke C2 or C2 Cola) 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.
This new Coke product is said to have half the carbohydrates, sugars and calories, compared to standard Coke, and is thus targeted toward dieters.
It has more calories than Diet Coke, but its taste is much closer to standard Coke.

 Coke C2 and Pepsi Edge: Consumer Education Will Be Key.
Coke and Pepsi launched their mid-cal colas -- Coke C2 and Pepsi Edge -- in early-mid June in limited packaging.
Coke and Pepsi bottlers says it's too early to know much, but both say key is educating consumers as to "what these products are," and several bottlers cite confusion about the products.
Coke bottlers re C2: 1) "We're trying to get a good build, we're not trying to do a gazillion cases the first month." 2) "Consumers are still trying to figure it out." 3) "We did a good job in getting it out, but it's too early to tell...

 winneroftheSAT: Coke C2: An Essay
The packaging may look similar, but don’t be tricked, the classic Coke red is outlined with gunmetal grey trim and has a commanding alphanumeric C2 snuggled powerfully under the timeless Coca-Cola script.
C2 is for people who want less carbs than a regular soda but apparently don’t want the zero carbs of a diet soda.
This same non-diabetic target audience of maniacs loathes the taste of Diet Coke, yet in sensational paralogical rationale, they don’t mind that all of the ingredients of Diet Coke are in this new mess of a soda.

She says back when Diet Coke was launched in 1982, there was a large segment of consumers that wanted a carbonated soft drink with zero calories.
Bayne says she expects there to be some cannibalization of Coke’s market by C2’s, but she also expects to source from some other cola and non-cola soft drinks.
She says Diet Coke Vanilla had a "great" year in 2003, and Diet Coke with Lemon was relaunched with the lime version and its sales have also improved.

 Coca-Cola C2 - The BevNET.com Review
The labeling for Coke C2 is subtle, perhaps to the point of fault.
The Coke C2 logo is far from eye-catching and the descriptive text "Lower Sugar Cola…half the sugar of regular cola" is still less conspicuous.
Labeling aside, we think Coke C2 is a solid product that should find a niche among the folks that are neither here nor there with respect to cola calories.

Coke Zero, set to debut in mid- to late June, will be sold using the theme "Everybody Chill," according to Beverage Digest.
Vanilla Coke, for example, recorded sales of 35.6 million cases in the United States in 2004, far off the high point of its first year.

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.
In addition to its new Vanilla Coke brands, Coca-Cola has unveiled lime and lemon-flavored versions of its Diet Coke brand, the third most popular soft drink in the United States.

 Coke goes after low-carb biz - May. 25, 2004
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.
She said that both Coke and Pepsi could end up cannibalizing other brands in their portfolio, especially if consumers start to defect from either the full-calorie or the diet category brands.

 Coca-Cola president sees C2 ‘cannibalizing’ Coke
The company, he added, estimates about 50 percent to 55 percent of the volume coming from C2 will be ‘‘incremental to our business, which is pretty high’’ with 10 percent to 15 percent of that volume coming from other categories, like water and other non-carbonated drinks.
C2, with its 12 grams of carbohydrates, may not be a choice for those on the strict Atkins diet, Knauss admits.
Regular Coke has 27 grams of carbohydrates, so switching to C2 might be a more viable choice for aging people who are cutting their consumption of sugar colas, but love the taste of regular Coke, Knauss said.

So it was with great reservation that I decided to give Coke C2, Coca-Cola's fray into the low-carb soft drink market a try.
Coke is only a marginally good soda in its normal form, and more or less repugnant as a diet cola.
Since C2 is scarcely more than Coke and Diet Coke mixed together in the former Surge vat, it's only fair to give it a deservedly middling grade.

Coke Zero, it's not as sweet as Diet Coke or the Splenda version thereof, and the aftertaste is minimal.
COKE ZERO is Coke's first attempt at a diet Coca-Cola Classic in an attempt to mirror the taste of its flagship drink.
Coke Zero uses both Nutrasweet and Ace-K. Nowadays they prefer to use blends of artificial sweeteners because you get less of both aftertastes, maybe to the point where they're unnoticeable.

This taste tester found C2 to be an unappealing blend of Coke and Diet Coke, which, given the mix of natural and artificial sweeteners, is not too surprising.
A quick glance at their respective websites shows that Coke has a deep roster of international brands that Pepsi simply can't match.

I share my wife's disdain for the absolutely ridiculous reach of the "low carb" fad, and we weren't exactly surprised when both leading cola makers introduced their own appeal to the Atkins-obsessed masses.
(The opposite of this review, but we're not counting carbs.) I found C2 to have a strong aftertaste, and an overall taste too close to Diet Coke to be worth choosing C2 over Diet (if they both taste bad, why not go for almost no calories instead of a few?).
That C2 commercial put me off the stuff without even tasting it (but then I'm not a fan of Coke, any style).

C3 is a hex-crawler robot, outfitted with a CMUcam, enabling it with the ability to search and find puddles of Coca Cola placed on the gallery floor.
When C3 finds a puddle of Coke, it sucks the beverage up through an electrical pump, and then sprays it across itself.
The acidic compounds in Coke eventually eats through the robot’s skin, finding its way to the circuitry, causing it to break down.
