C2 - I read on CNN.com today that McDonalds is going to carry C2, the new lower-carb, lower-calorie Coke in selected stores. I actually bought an 8-pack of the soda earlier this week and my review is: not worth it. While C2 is sweetened with sucralose (the generic version of the sweetener better known as Splenda), it still has high fructose corn syrup AND aspartame! What's the point? Yes, its has half the carbs and half-the calories of regular Coke, but it's still got that nasty Nutrisweet aftertaste. They must have tinkered with the C2 recipe and realized that Splenda alone wasn't gonna do the trick. And as a result, C2 is a bust.
