Zero isn't always bad

Sometimes zero is a bad thing.
Like when it's your result on an IQ test.

Zero is also a bad thing when it's your blog's PR ranking. I've blogged about that over at Jantrails a few times, HERE and HERE.

There's this stuff called "Coke Zero." Fab loves it. I tried it awhile back and hated it. You may remember that I blogged about it over at Jantics, (HERE).

Well, if you read one of my recent Jantrails posts (HERE), you know I'm trying to make a few slight changes, one of which is avoiding sugary soda. For the time being at least, I'm ok with that. We'll see what the future brings. Mostly I drink water, occasionally having other things like tea or juice. I've been doing this for over a month now.

I see that they now have cherry Coke Zero. I decided to try a bottle this evening.
My rationale was this: Now that my taste buds aren't so used to the taste of sugar and high fructose corn syrup, maybe Coke Zero will taste better this time.
I've discovered that I still don't like traditional "diet" soda. It tastes like drain cleaner.

Please don't ask me how I know what drain cleaner tastes like. Or, if you must ask, just go HERE to my Jantics post where I explain that the senses of smell and taste are closely linked. Most of the time, you can tell what something will taste like by smelling it.

But I digress.

I tried the Cherry Coke Zero....
And surprisingly, I didn't mind it at all.
There's just a tiny bit of "chemical swamp" at the end, but not nearly as bad as I remember. I could definitely handle this, for future soda cravings.
I also saw "Sprite Zero" (which apparently is the same as the old Diet Sprite, just re-marketed in a different way). I tried a bottle of that, and actually liked that too.
So this is promising!

My main beverage will still continue to be water, but it's nice to know that I now have more options.
