This was the worst soft drink ever. Coke spent millions on advertising the bloody thing here in Scotland then cancelled it 3 months later because nobody brought it and it tasted bloody awful.

Edit just checked apparently this shit is still on sale in other parts of the world.
Fun fact in most parts of the world coke life is half sugar/half Stevia there’s only A few where it’s 100% Stevia (I believe Japan and New Zealand and I guess from the above Scotland, maybe a few others)
In Canada we actually have Coke Stevia.

For a few months we had coke life (50% sugar 50% stevia)in the green can pictured above (had some French BS words on it As well so not identical, as most of our crap does :/ )
as well as Coke Stevia which is in a Red can like regular Coke but has a green banner that says 100% Stevia - Zero sugar

For the last few months or Coke life seems to have gone away, but that’s OK there’s still Stevia Coke, coke Zero, diet Coke etc.


Personally I can’t stand the taste of Diet Coke, I like Coke zero but I liked it better before they reformulated it a few years ago (prior to the reformulation I would’ve considered it better than Pepsi max now I think it’s on par)
Coke stevia is a nice change up because it does taste different than zero so I alternate between the two to add variety to my life.

Yep here it was 100% stevia. Coke actually had the cheek to advertise coke life saying it tasted exactly the same as normal Coke which it bloody didn't lol.

Coke life that was half sugar was pretty close to actual Coke I could see it fooling less frequent drinkers, especially if you weren’t doing a side-by-side taste test.
100% Stevia coke life You are correct it is nothing like real Coke.

It’s similar to zero but different, the thing I find cool because it activates different taste receptors is depending on which one you drink first one might taste sweeter than the other one day and vice versa.

all I know is since I’m doing carnivore/zero carb (very strict keto) I like having another Cheap 0 carb soda option that doesn’t cost An arm and a leg leg Zevia

Kvass is where it is at if I am going to do fizzy brown drinks. Dr Pepper is OK in a pinch if I have to drink something to be polite, might even enjoy it a little, but kvass is what you need.





Edit and as I am being greedy
