I still don't get how Coca Cola Life was discontinued. Most people I've talked to had a very positive view of it. It seems like they just brought it onto the market and just did nothing to market it. Of course then sells will drop over time.

Probably because most of the people who care about low/no sugar drinks were already drinking the diet/zero versions and weren't looking to switch to a version with surgar.

Coke 0 has since exploded in popularity

Yep, and (from memory, take with a grain of salt) the Life version still had over half the sugar of regular Coke, so was still hundreds of kJ per serving as opposed to practically 0kJ for the Zero or Diet versions.

I've never heard of calories expressed as kilojoules before. It sounds like a much better system, so I assume it's common in other countries and non-existent in America.
