have a coke and a brain tumor

dear Coke,

my friend just bought me a 4-pak of Coke BLAK. being a very enthusiastic coffee drinker, i was EXTREMELY excited to finally have a bottle of your newest product in my hands. as i was about to take the first sip, something prompted me to read the ingredients.

and i am very glad i did.

water...sugar...high fructose corn syrup.... etc. and the last 2 ingredients: aspartame and acesulfame potassium.

WHY?!?!?!

when a drink already has the high fructose corn syrup WHY add the artificial sweeteners? especially the ones that do the MOST damage. AND where is your PHENYLALANINE warning? oh, yeah, there isn't one.


so. i put the cap back on and threw the 4-pak in the trash. kudos on making money off my friend and most assuredly countless others, but this was a pretty dumb idea.

are you getting monetary compensation from the "poison" companies? i.e. the makers of aspartame and acesulfame k? is THAT why you put their poisons in your drinks that don't need them?

i am ashamed of you and for you, Coca Cola.

too bad i am posting this on my highly read blog too.

sincerely, christel
