Coca soda

Coca Cola C2 (also referred to as Coke C2, C2 Cola, or simply C2) was a cola-flavoredbeverage introduced by The Coca Cola Company first in Japan, then later on 7 June 2004 in the United States (and shortly thereafter, Canada), in response to the low-carbohydrate diet trend. This Coke product was marketed as having half the carbohydrates, sugars andcalories compared to standard Coke. It contains aspartame, acesulfame potassium, andsucralose in addition to the high fructose corn syrup typically found in cola beverages distributed in America. It is an alternative for those who prefer the taste of Coke to Diet Coke, with a taste closer to traditional Coca Cola, but only half the calories. Aside from the high fructose corn syrup, one 12-ounce can of Coca Cola C2 contains 19 mg of aspartame, 4 mg of sucralose and 19 mg of acesulfame potassium. The packaging design differs from other Coke products in that the logos are printed in black. For marketing on radio andtelevision, and movie theaters the Queen song "I Want to Break Free" was used.
