For those of you who drink Diet Coke:

<http://finance.yahoo.com/news/a-frosty-reception-for-coca-cola-s-white-christmas-cans.html>

this has been an issue for vending companies with can displays as most
customers confuse it with diet and often don't recognise it as coke at all,
it has been a major pita for vending companies, i was very glad to hear on
the radio they were quitting it, Lee

I was an inveterate Diet Coke drinker until I tried Coke Zero. The black
cans ever change and the taste is, I have to admit, better than Diet
Coke, which I had previously referred to as the "elixir of the gods"

I'm not a huge soda drinker at all, but I do like Pepsi Max when I do drink
it. It seems less carbonated to me. I don't like carbonation and usually
don't care for a drink until it's mostly flat. I haven't had the headache
thing and I drank a whole bottle of it one hot day this summer.

it has ginseng or some such in it which might react with the caffeine for
me..who knows

if I drink a 12 ounce glass I'm fine but if I drink more or do it for two
days in a row..headache.

like how some people get them from aspartame

Judging from the name, does it have more caffine than regual colas? this
might account for the problem of the headache if it is more than o usually
take.

As far as I know, the "MAX" stands for "maximum taste, zero calories" At
least that's the way it's advertised.

Coke Zero has less but it goes flat too quickly. Pepsi Max is still my
#1 choice.

Pepsi Max has a "sweeter" taste to me than say Diet Coke, so its
possible there is more aspartame in Pepsi Max?
Apparently there is twice the caffeine in Pepsi Max than in regular Diet
Pepsi.

I tried a sip of that stuff once. Waaaaay too sweet for me as are all of
the Pepsi products. I can't even imagine drinking a real Pepsi. It would
likely kill me.

one thing i know that is rather odd, dh can drink a regular sugar no caffine
pepsi with no issues, but regular sugar/with caffine bother his stomach
really bad, and he is a really addicted coffee drinker so caffine alone
doesn't bother him but the combo of the two is a misery in a can, Lee

as I remember it, it contains small amounts of ginseng but is otherwise no
different than diet pepsi

The latest on their plans - they're about to switch to a new
type of red cans for the rest of the holiday season.

No recalls for the white cans, so still watch for those until
they're sold out.

i think i posted that, Lee

I don't think diabetics should drink any kind of cola because the
phosphoric acid in them is bad for the kidneys. If you take 250 mg of
thiamine or a lesser amount of benfotiamine you may avoid diabetic
kidney disease. Thiamine lowered my serum creatinine from 1.30 to 1.08
and I'd guess it's even lower by now. My urine albumin was only 1.2.

Pepsi Max has 46 mg per 8 oz of caffeine and Diet Pepsi has 24 grams mg per
8 oz . http://www.pepsicobeveragefacts.com/caffeine.php
