Coca-Cola's Coffee Soda

Boost writes "According to a new press release Coca-Cola is about to launch a new beverage called Coca-Cola Blak that adds real coffee to the blend. Carbonated coffee?" I imagine this will be quite different than the cans of hot coffee that makes walking around in Tokyo so delicious. But hey, cans of coffee! I'm in for one at least.

Re:High Fructose Corn Syrup

I emailed Coca-Cola about this very issue about a year ago, sometime after I did an experiment to avoid all HFCS products. I still ate cookies and sweets and stuff, just those brands without HFCS, and I lost 15 pounds in 2-3 months without even meaning to, and without even trying.

But anyway, Coca-Cola's response was that individual bottling factories have the choice which sweetener to use and that I should contact them. Of course these factories choose to cut costs by using the low-price HFCS.

And remember two reasons HFCS is so cheap is because of government subsidies of corn farmers, and the embargo against Cuba (and it's huge sugar export economy).
