FEEDBACK: Coca-Cola Calorie Burning Soda


INTERESTING READER FEEDBACK



I don't know about this new "Enviga" Coke product. The original recipe waaaaay back when had cocaine in it when it was still legal and available at the corner drug store. After people got addicted and it became illegal, they started using caffeine. Green tea AND caffeine??? Might as well just legalize cocaine and start using THAT again.


Hey, Coke executives! You know what else speeds up the metabolism?? For starters, simply cutting back on sugar and excercising regularly. This doesn't sound to me like it would be a "diet" product, per se, unless MAYBE they sweeten it with like Splenda or something. Otherwise the sugar content of this product might end up just cancelling out metabolic enhancements that many people might expect if focused on the green tea part and the advertisements simply telling them "you'll lose weight on this shit."


Personally, I don't trust it any further than I can piss it. It will be interesting to see how this gets marketed to the general public. I won't be surprised if the majority of people we see pulling from an Enviga bottle also happens to have an iPod strapped to them as well. (Which reminds me...I really do need to get one of those damn things).
