Coca-Cola C2 was a cola beverage introduced by The Coca-Cola Company in 2004. It was marketed as a lower-calorie alternative to regular Coca-Cola, with approximately half the calories and carbohydrates. The product was discontinued in 2007 due to poor sales.
History[edit | edit source]
Coca-Cola C2 was launched in response to the growing demand for low-calorie beverages. The Coca-Cola Company aimed to provide a cola option with reduced calories and carbohydrates, while still maintaining the familiar taste of Coca-Cola. The product was marketed towards health-conscious consumers who wanted to enjoy a cola beverage without the guilt of consuming excessive calories.
Ingredients and Nutritional Information[edit | edit source]
Coca-Cola C2 contained carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, caramel color, phosphoric acid, natural flavors, caffeine, and potassium benzoate (to protect taste). The beverage had approximately half the calories and carbohydrates of regular Coca-Cola, with 45 calories and 12 grams of carbohydrates per 8 fl oz serving.
Reception and Discontinuation[edit | edit source]
Despite initial excitement and marketing efforts, Coca-Cola C2 failed to gain significant traction in the market. The product faced challenges in positioning itself as a distinct offering from regular Coca-Cola, and consumers were not convinced of its taste and benefits compared to other low-calorie cola options. As a result, Coca-Cola C2 was discontinued in 2007, just three years after its introduction.
Legacy[edit | edit source]
Although Coca-Cola C2 was not successful in the market, it paved the way for future low-calorie cola innovations by The Coca-Cola Company. The lessons learned from the launch and discontinuation of Coca-Cola C2 helped shape the development of other reduced-calorie and sugar-free cola options, such as Coca-Cola Zero and Coca-Cola Life.
