Coca Cola Zero beat Coca Cola Light, now Light hardly sells. I know this firsthand, because it's my everyday job, to refill the shelves of three of the biggest supermarkets of my area with Coca Cola products, and Zero sells 10 times more than Light, even more. One man asked me once "why are you bullying Light?" I asked him what he meant, and he said "when Zero came, nobody cares about Light anymore". :lol:

We don't get a lot of this in Cyprus, some shops import it from the UK. I tried it once, as well as the one with Vanilla taste.

Do you get Coca Cola Stevia anywhere else? We have it here and in Greece, but it's not that successful. It's relatively new.
We also have Coca Cola Zero Lemon, and we had for a short period of time Coca Cola plus Coffee but they don't do it anymore, it was a pure disappointment.

Poor Light. The xenophobia is real :(

The Stevia one was around for a brief period, but I've not seen it in a long time. Most of the flavoured ones now are in the diet or zero kinds (diet twisted strawberry and sublime lime, zero cherry and vanilla) - I think the sugar tax in the UK has killed a lot of the other variations that you used to get as it's not worth the companies plowing all the money into drinks that they have to charge the customer's more for.

Stevia, no. But we have raspberry, cherry, Strawberry, Ginger Coca Cola & a few others I forget right now. One of the strangest, but actually most refreshing i've tried is Cucumber Sprite. Actually first taste was weird, but it's super super nice.

>.> no x

I just looked in a playlist and thought "What would Fotiana like? what would fit a hot edition in Oussou Empire?". Obviously it worked. :lol:
Actually I was planning to send Sarbel's "Desperado" or "Mi Chica" in WV, but I failed so hardly when I sent Sarbel some time ago so I was afraid to send him again, I still have it in my list though.

Woah I basically did the same as Ashley, thinking what would fit an edition hosted in Oussou Empire. Bless xheat I cycled through a bunch of Moldovan bops until I settled on this one. :lol:
You know I posted in jury switching thread some time ago that I had the crazy idea to switch to Moldova or something? That was one of the songs I had in mind. :lol:

In Japan I had a drink that was essentially cucumber juice with some weird sea weed flavoring added to it. Sounded bonkers, so I tried it. Was actually pretty nice, but I think this was mainly due to the cucumber involved. Actually I should eat more cucumber given how much I like the stuff, but I mean I would basically have to eat a whole one which kind of fucks with your system as it goes into digestion mode even though there's nothing really to digest.

We had Coca Cola Life for a while which was the stevia version they launched in the UK. It was only available for about a year because it didn't sell very well, but it was my favourite :( I love the vanilla coke zero we have here though, that's probably my new favourite

Coca Cola stevia doesn't have much success here either, but they insist on producing it. And slowly slowly it improves its sellings. They even made a big promotion with this song by a very successful pop-rock band and the host of Survivor back in 2017:
