Zero Sugar = Zero Fun?


So last Monday I've got my chance to try the infamous Coca Cola Zero. It means that the every can or bottle will give its loyal consumers zero sugar. What's the difference than Diet Coke? Well, CCZ is designed with the real taste of cola, while Diet Coke has a very very subtle coke taste.

Then why they don't just name it Diet Coke Zero Sugar? Apparently, in the States they call it "calorie-free" instead "diet" since the young males always associate "diet" with women. LOL. Can't agree more on that anyway.

So, I took one slim can of this little bastard and had a sip. Good taste on the palate tho, even I was expecting a good sweet taste. Usually, when some 'diet' drinks that claim have zero sugar aka calorie, it still has a very decent sweetness.
But I kid you not that CCZ has no -if not then very weak- sweet flavour. It is still carbonated drink, but the taste is so light. It's not flat, it's just missing something, there is no kicking in the taste hehehe..

For me, zero sugar is like watching Jackie Chan's movies without the funny stunts, or , watching Jerry Springer's show without the midgets. However, if you're one of those healthy-life enthusiasts then you will probably like this little bastard.

I don't have anything against it, just not enough sugar for me hehe.. Enough babbling for now. I'm on holiday, taking days off before I rejoin with the class for the new term. I will teach primary class. They said it will be very challenging, and I'm sure it will.

Little update on my blog, I've put some funny, if not, smart quotes. They're randomly set and it will show different one everytime you refresh the page. Have fun!
