Cola Wars Prisoner

The Cola Wars will get their first POW today.... The Coca-Cola employee convicted of cooperate espionage was sentenced to eight years in federal prison for a failed scheme to sell the trade secrets to rival Pepsi for at least $1.5 million.

I'm NOT a big fan of Diet Coke! I prefer Diet Dr. Pepper - if it has to be a low/no calorie soft drink. But I have been tempted to try Coke Zero...

The vending machines in the break room are loaded with various 12 oz. cans and 20 oz. bottles just waiting to quench your thirst. From Vault to fruit juice to Gatorade.
Now, it would seem that the Cola Wars are venturing into uncharted territories - Diet Coke Plus:

What's the plus? Vitamins and minerals! Diet Coke Plus includes "25% of the recommended daily allowance of niacin (vitamin B3), vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 as well as 15% of the RDA for magnesium and zinc in each 12-ounce serving."

Whodathunkit?!? I can now pass on the veggies --

In just variations of "Regular" Coca-Cola - there is:
  • Caffeine Free
  • Coke Blak (coffee flavor)
  • Coke w/Lime
  • Coke w/Lemon
  • Coke w/Citra
  • Raspberry Coke
  • C2 (whatever that is)
  • Vanilla Coke
  • Black Cherry Vanilla Coke

So, what's the next great variant flavor from the Coca-Cola cooperate folks in Atlanta...
