Coca-Cola began selling their new C2 cola in Japan this week. They were passing out tiny cans of the stuff at Shibuya station the other morning and last night I gave it a try. To be honest, it tasted like a mix of regular Coke and Diet Coke - definitely an improvement over the nauseating regular diet stuff, but since I’m a skinny bastard and don’t drink soft drinks very often, I don’t really care about reduced calories or carbohydrates so I think I’ll stick with Coke classic.

Will C2 be a success? Probably not in Japan (where Vanilla Coke lasted all of two months), but possibly in the US, where people seem to want to reduce their calorie intake without actually having to reduce the amount of crap that they stuff in their faces.

In other news, I made an attempt to pretty up the site a bit. I think I’ll leave the layout as it is for now, but it’ll definitely remain a work in progress. If you’ve got a second, please let me know what you think.
