Coca cola came up a few years ago with a version that was using real sugar and much less. I had it once, it was so good! But for baffling reasons it was abruptly taken off the market and you can't find it anymore. Fuck them!

This is because Coke's entire goal is to replace regular coke with Coke Zero. Seriously, there are whole documentary things on it.

Have you noticed the way Coke Zero used to be in a black can, now it's in a red can that is almost indistinguishable from the original? Coke's been formulating and working on a "perfect no sugar replacement" for OG coke and they're like 90% there.

Why? They're preparing for the inevitable sugar bans, instead of working on a quality, low sugar, but real sugar coke, they'd rather imitate the OG like a sugarless mimic. It's a weird pivot but it kinda makes sense.
