Coke Zero Is Changing Its Flavor & We Are Upset

Coca-Cola is about to shake things up, so to speak, and consumers aren’t happy. The soda company announced on Tuesday that Coca-Cola Zero Sugar — its popular, no-sugar beverage — would be getting not just a...

Hmmmmm. We'll see.

We’ve seen this play before.

At least someone talked an executive out of calling it "New Coke Zero."

They can't go there again.  It was lucky marketing many years ago with "New Coke".  Give it a rest Coke...

They cannot accidentally catch that lightning in a bottle again.

As I sat down to dinner earlier tonight, I thought "I should take a picture and post it to the TST food thread."  

I had been a good cook, but I think I've improved in the past year or so.  I also bought a barbecue a few weeks ago, and have used it a few times, although tonight's dinner was stovetop.  Scallops, shrimp, and peas.  I suppose I could post the steak from my inaugural usage of the grill a few weeks ago, but I don't know if that defeats some of the spirit of the thread.

This was yummy but it was not my best presentation-wise.  The latter is something I've neglected the past year or so in my cooking, so I should work on that.

Presentation is dumb. 🙂

In your own home who cares?

[Shindig]

True, but we are getting to the point where I can cook for other people again.

This could not affect me less. I'm allergic to artificial sweeteners. 

However, I still disagree with the article saying this could be the biggest change Coke has ever made.... Who could forget "New Coke"?

I don’t think you read the article.

I actually did. They said something about the boldest move Coke has made since some suggestion about adding marijuana to Coke. I'm saying this change to Coke Zero is nothing compared to when New Coke came out in 1985. They actually discontinued the current Coke and people lost their minds. They were hording it like toilet paper pre-pandemic. People sold it for a hundred bucks a case. People were actually travelling abroad to bring back the old formula. After about 3 months Coke bent to the horrible beating they were taking in the media and reintroduced Coke as "Coke Classic". It was a crazy story that occupied a ton of news during the summer of 1985. 

So, my point is tweaking Coke Zero isn't as bold as discontinuing Coke. That's all I was trying to say.

That’s quite different than “this could be the biggest change Coke has ever made”. The article didn’t say that. But you said it did.

So…

The article covered “New Coke,” too.

Yeah, I know. I read the article and then did some other stuff before commenting on it. So, I probably wasn't as clear as I could have been.

My top dish down in Myrtle Beach...

Seafood Risotto, basically lots of different kinds of seafood cooked in a rose' cream sauce served over risotto. One of the best dishes I've had in a long time. I had some good meals this past week, this one out did them all.

Made some prime rib tonight.

Turned out good.

Anyone ever have a hot dog with smoked salmon? This looks pretty good actually.
