Coke Zero

Coke Zero is now my soft drink of choice
Zero calories is the key to success
Some genius on high finally figured it out
Coke without calories is the best!

The guy that came up with this brilliant stroke
Earned a dirty big bunch of Coke shares
For blokes like me who are trying to cut down
It's the answer to us guy's prayers

Now all we're missing is a Caramilk Zero
That would surely complete the trend
Imagine a chocolate bar that's healthy for you
I'd stick to this diet to the end

“That's pretty silly!” I heard someone say
“A chocolate bar without the bad stuff”
Relax my good fellows it's only a dream
Convincing us would surely be tough

So I really don't think it's such a great idea
But I'd give 'em a high five for trying
Downside of attempting to lose some weight
For all that bad stuff I'd be dying

Timothy Hicks June 11, 2013 at 1:25 PM I believe I have to agree with Carol on this one. The ads like to exalt the fact it has no calories, but there's been many studies on the artificial sweeteners. And in the long run it's actually a lot worse for you. That being said, I do like Coke Zero's cinnamon-like flavor... it's got more kick than regular Coke. Though I wouldn't drink it for health reasons... lol!

Carol Eastman June 11, 2013 at 8:24 AM Dragon and I are tired of diet drinks(Mike is a diabetic). So we drink water on ice and fruit juice mixed with water on ice. Some times I just want to get away from all those artificial sweeteners we have in every thing. Check on the bottle... If it has aspertane... that's neutrosweet... Too much of those sweeteners is not good for you... No we're not health nuts... just stay in my Hubby's diabetic world with him... But when I gave up sugar... I stopped gaining a couple pounds per year.
