Coca-Cola C2 was a cola-flavored beverage produced from 2004 to 2007 in response to the low-carbohydrate diet trend.[1] This Coke product was marketed as having half the carbohydrates, sugars and calories of standard Coca-Cola. It was sweetened with aspartame, acesulfame potassium, and sucralose in addition to the high fructose corn syrup (and sugar in Japan) typically found in cola beverages distributed in America.[2]
History
Codenamed as "Coca-Cola Ultra",[3] The Coca-Cola Company unrevealed C2 in April 2004, announcing that the drink would be released in Japan prior to its release in the United States.[4]
