Is it Coca Cola Brand?
Well, over here we have that silly "Atkins" diet that's all the rage, as well as the "South Beach" diet, and a countless thousand other diets that are all "low carbs". So C2 is kind of Coke's version of a "low carb" Coke. It has 1/2 of the carbs and 1/2 of the calories of regular Coke, as well as less sugar (18g instead of 39g). The only problem I have with it is that it DOES contain aspartame and a host of other difficult-to-pronounce names, which is probably where the aftertaste is coming from.

Just give it a few months and I'm sure you'll be seeing it... or not, dunno- us Americans are notoriously overweight (course, we sit around and stare at our computer screens all day, so that doesn't help. :wink: ).

2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

Aren't those the ones that are known for not exactly keeping cancer at bay ?

Yep, plus causing migraines and a bunch of other health problems. I think pretty much everything is bad for us now a days, so we may as well just enjoy what we eat. :P

Ugh ... it's soooo nasty!! :P I was so stupid when I tried it, too. Didn't read the label, and the aspartame totally made me sick ... not a pretty thing ... ick. Bad, bad memories ... sigh.

Um ... and I was wondering ... did Cloud vote, too ... ? 8O :D

Robot entities do not yet have the right to vote.
