How you tried Coke life yet?

I have and was disappointed to learn it still has sugar as I assumed it would only use the natural sweetener Stevia which is 100 times sweeter than sugar.

So no idea who they are trying to appeal to as I would not buy it again unless it was 100% Stevia.

Tried a bottle today. Just tasted like a watered down version of normal Coca-cola. Not particularly unpleasant by any means, but just a bit....meh.

Give me a bit of aspartame any day. If it wasn't for the health nuts out there they wouldn't be messing around with a different branding.

No, and I doubt I'll bother unless there's a special offer. I don't drink much soda, but if I get a hankering for some I just buy diet coke. I don't mind the flavor, and I generally stay away from regular soda because of the sugar content. The exception would be the odd time I buy ginger ale (the diet version tastes weird).

Seems totally pointless to me. 1/3 less calories than normal, but a hell of a lot more calories than Coke Zero or Diet Coke. Who is it for?

I tried one can of it last week. That's 75p that I'll never get back. Almost as bland and insipid as Coke Zero,
a poor knock off of Pepsi Max that came about 13 years too late. Neither Coke Life, or the equally inferior
product Coke Zero will ever be able to beat the almighty Pepsi Max for good cola taste.

Binned mine, worst of both worlds. I agree with the above, a completely stevia enhanced version might be worth a drink, but this stuff was just dull.

I only bought it because it was the only cola available in the shop.
I was thinking what it reminded me of. Possibly coke zero or diet coke.

You should try the vastly superior Pepsi Max rather than that insipid and inferior Coke Zero rubbish.

Is the point that it's *healthier* than the diet/zero versions because it doesn't have artificial sweeteners? Does it do less damage to your stomach lining or something? Probably a load of rubbish.

The only thing in sugar free cola drinks that could do any damage to your stomach lining is the acid content,
the most common being Phosphoric Acid, plus some sugar free cola drinks also contain Citric Acid as well.
The artificial sweeteners such as Aspartame are harmless, since sugar free cola drinks only contain a very
tiny amount compared with amount of sugar that's loaded into the regular versions of Pepsi and Coke.

In moderation, you should have no health worries about these types of beverages at all.

Coke Zero and Diet Coke are two of the foulest things I've ever drunk. No flavour whatsoever. They taste artificial.

To me Coke Life tastes better than normal Coke

My boyfriend gets major migranes when eating/drinking anything with aspartame in, and doesn't drink that much coke because of the sugar content, and he likes the fact that this contains less, so it's perfect for him when he does fancy one
