Loved the poem.
I remember the years of Diet Coke all too well. Drinking it, longing for the taste of real sugar,
knowing it wasn't "the real thing". Then came the summer of 2005... Coke Zero! *
How could this be? A diet coke that tasted like the real thing? I didn't care, I was in love.
12 wonderful years... but only love lasts forever:
"In 2017, despite increasing sales, the Coca-Cola Company announced that Coca-Cola Zero
would be replaced by Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, intended to taste more like standard Coca-Cola."
It doesn't.
*"Coke Zero was originally specifically marketed to young men and described as "calorie-free" rather than "diet" as marketing
surveys had determined that young men associated "diet" drinks with women and so were reluctant to buy them."
