The cafeteria downstairs got this newfangled Coke C2 today, and being a man of science (applied science, but science nonetheless) I opted to try it out.
We begin by opening the cap, which is silver, and perhaps slightly translucent.
Hmmm… smell… like Coke, but slightly sweeter.
Dark in colour, of course. Quite cold, though this is likely not a result of the beverage formulation itself. Viscosity appears normal (though it occurs to me that testing such would probably have been better prior to opening)
And now, taste…
It tastes very similar to regular Coke, but I do detect a hint of aspartame. Nowhere near as offensive as Diet Coke. Drinking also feels less like dipping my tongue in strong HCl as regular Coke often does – decreasing the exam-time utility of C2. I suppose what I’m trying to say is that like Alberta, it’s almost flat, while being rather distinguishable from complete flattitude.
Overall, scientific rating: It don’t suck.
