So here I am watching some odd anime which I seriously doubt is aimed at my age and gender group trying to distract myself from the strong urges deep down inside trying to get me to take some Tylenol PM and knock myself out for the night. Oy. Some exciting night this is, eh? Well, since I am not really doing anything worth talking about I figured I would review something during all of this to try to make myself useful.
 Well then, the anime just started and some guy is talking about sterilizing cats in his free time. Sounds even more exciting then my night, except that guy doesn't have any Coke Zero. Yup, Coke Zero, that is the topic of today’s review. Carrying over it's Zero line from Sprite Zero (maybe) it seems the Coca Cola company is trying to push the Zero elsewhere, and with it being "Lite" over there in Europe why not "Zero" here? Zero calories, zero fat, zero protein, but look at this, 30mg of salt.. Besides for that Coke zero really has zero going for it. It has a fancy new logo and a new color scheme over Diet Coke but the ingredients are exactly the same and unfortunately so is the taste. With Diet Coke with Splenda out there now there really is no need to keep buying stuff with aspartame in it. The flavor isnt as good and it has that funky diet aftertaste everyone knows and loves by now. I think I am going to walk away now and see if it tastes any better when I get back.
(fast forward about 25 minutes)
 Okay, I just got back from eating some tasty jalepeno cheese sausage and having a nice refreshing glass of milk (that happened to have a shot of Starbucks booze in it) and now I am here back with this Coke Zero stuff. You know what? It tastes like Diet Coke, and by Diet Coke I actually mean garbage. Now don't think I am a diet soda fan hater. No sirs (or ma'am for the one female reader we have)! The Diet Coke with Splenda stuff was a great change and Diet Cherry Pepsi is better then regular. But this stuff is just too old school. Maybe they don't want to repeat the New Coke disaster by taking this off the market and replacing it with a Splenda product, but it really is time to move on. Just look there, even Billy Corgan is sad.
This stuff is just Diet Coke with a new label. 1 cheese because at least you can recycle the bottle which will hopefully be turned into something better in its next life, besides that it’s a zero, just like it’s name says (oh gee, bet you didn’t see that one coming). In the words of the great Jim Norton, "He stinks and I don't like him."
As for this anime, well, it has young animated Japanese girls running around in the rain, so I guess things could be worse. Bah, now I need to go download the second episode so I can see what happens next.
