Green label. Claims of vegetable extracts. Less calorific.

It'll still help a 30 stone yank Mormon maintain his flab apron and rot your children's teeth faster than Lyle's Golden syrup.

Still, it tastes ok when anointed with rum.

it does seem odd that they use stevia together with sugar...

i am on doctors orders to cut down on my sugar, so this new coke life is going be worse for me than diet / coke / zero.

Tried it drinking from a 500ml PET bottle, it was very gassy, not much different from red Coke. I would like to try it poured from a bigger bottle into a glass to see if that makes it less gassy.

Full fat, chilled, Cherry Coke is still the Daddy though.

Cherry Coke is sickly sweet! Suppose it depends on how much of it you drink in one go. Hmm.

I hate all diet colas as they all taste chemically to me.
I can't tell any difference between the green and red versions so I'll be drinking the green from now on.

Tried a coke life today. Normally drink diet coke and thought this was just as nice, if abit more zesty.

What are the natural sweeteners it's claims to use?

Cherry Coke isn't that nice these days, but it was delicious in the 90's when it came in this can:

It's leaded or unleaded, not full fat or diet! You're supposed to be petrol heads!!
