Untitled[edit]

There's currently two topcis on C2, this page, and "C2"

Issue resolved. page "C2" is now a disambiguation page.

Would be nice if someone could dig up the release date of Pepsi Edge. Then we could end the debate of which was released first.

According to press releases at Coca-Cola and Pepsico's web sites Pepsi Edge was first to be announced (March 9th against C2's April 19th), but later press releases show C2 available from "early-June" with Pepsi Edge around "mid-June". So C2 made it to stores first, but not by much. Jxan3000 15:28, Jan 6, 2005 (UTC)

When are they releasing this in the UK?--Richy 15:41, 9 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the article mentions that in addition to the lower-calorie sweetner alternatives (aspartame, sucralose, et al), corn syrup is still used - an obvious reference to the corn syrup used in the American formulation. However, all Coke products in Canada (and possibly other countries - perhaps someone else from the UK and abroad can offer some enlightenment), still use sugar as the primary sweetner. As a result, the C2 product available here still lists sugar as it's second ingredient, after carbonated water.

Is it dead yet?[edit]

Is it too soon to declare Coke C2 dead? I don't know of any place that sells it any more, and here in Japan they've already moved on and are pushing Coca Cola Lemon instead.

I still see it occasionally. Pepsi Edge is dead, however. Andros 1337 10:11, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I finished my fourth of the day. It's still around, but it's harder to find than before. --66.32.212.126 30 June 2005 23:20 (UTC)

I was wondering about this, but is Coca-Cola Zero the same thing as C2? The ingredients seem awfully familiar, and both soda's taste are said to be similar to regular Coke than Diet Coke. Could CC0 be a rebranding of C2? --YoungFreud 09:30, 10 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

No, C2 and Zero are not the same thing. Autiger 16:29, 10 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, Two has corn syrup; Zero does not. Supposedly, Zero has the same formula as Classic, but for the replacement of corn syrup with a blend of aspartame (Nutrasweet) and acesulfame potassium (Splenda). It nevertheless tastes nothing like Classic. It does compete with Diet Coke and Diet Coke with Splenda for "the taste of liquid evil," however. --66.32.192.68 05:10, 12 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

E-mail reply from Coke says that as of right now they have no plans of cancelling it.

Coke C2 is still available at Jewl-Osco in the 12 can Fridge Pack.--Jon Revelle 18:07, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I love this drink! I don't know what I'll do without it. :( The Wookieepedian 01:53, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is dead, an email from Coke confirms it has been discontinued. It is in my opinion a tragedy and I hope to mount a campaign to have it brought back. It is far superior to Zero in that while Zero has done away with the chemical taste, it has not done away with the chemical aftertaste, which I've never experienced with C2. I find the product to be slightly less sweet than regular Coke, which makes it taste better to me. I also believe that it was not the death of the low carb craze which killed it, but the introduction of Coke Zero and the siphoning of marketing dollars from C2 to mount the Zero campaign. It managed to maintain shelf space at the two largest grocers in my major metropolitan area for over 2 1/2 years, and it was nearly always sold out or almost sold out. It disappeared quietly overnight, making it impossible to horde.

It is supposedly available in North Carolina- is there any truth to this? Johnh123 19:45, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

C2 is still available throughout Southern and Eastern Ontario. It is not yet dead here. Article shows an intense US centric bias considering the products international origins. Jjmcook 03:25, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's also available in Alberta. I haven't seen it much in stores but somebody's stocking the office fridge wtih it. Bruce Shaw (talk) 19:05, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just bought some from a Walmart in Winnipeg, MB. Unigolyn (talk) 16:47, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Improved Formulation?[edit]

I first tried C2 around a year ago and was decidedly disappointed by the taste, compared to my high expectations. C2 had the same kind of awful diet cola aftertaste that plague all of its diet brethren. This month I gave it another chance, however, and was quite surprised by pleasant taste. It still isn't Coke, but if I had to live with it exclusively, C2 is now a worthy substitute in my opinion. So has the formula for the soda changed? (Note: Opinion based on experience in California) --Big Mac 20:22, 20 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

... Wouldn't it be easier to just mix coke and diet coke in a glass?

Flop?[edit]

Can C2 be considered one? WikiFanatic 01:24, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Find a legitimate published source calling it a flop or some objective criteria that defines "flops". :-) AUTiger ʃ ^talk/_work 06:48, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I never asked for one....I was just wondering if it was. (It didn't last long.) Jesus. WikiFanatic 06:48, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What? I had a smiley on that. AUTiger ʃ ^talk/_work 07:15, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The basic fundemental problem with C2 was that it was advertised as a "LOW CARB" drink. However, it still contained far to many carbs for anyone on a low-carb diet. Its not allowed on either Atkins, or South Beach. Whomever did the marketing should have been fired for such an absurd error. So, while not a flop, the poor marketing surely doomed it.162.27.9.20 (talk) 21:12, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Cokec2bottle.jpg[edit]

Image:Cokec2bottle.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 22:25, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

bingo! though i wouldn't bet on it yet, as it is still around outside the usa. i actually liked it, though it did leave a shitty aftertaste, that compares to baby vomit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikifan10 (talk • contribs) 00:59, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

C2 vs New Coke?[edit]

Should it be mentioned that they are the exact same thing? I don't know who here remembers when New Coke came out, but I'm sure everyone has heard of it. C2 is just a redistribution of it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.117.96.246 (talk) 04:19, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that I would mention it because it's not true. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.121.248.42 (talk) 15:35, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
