bakerandbaker1, Coke Zero isn't sweetened with anything remotely natural, let alone high fructose corn syrup like regular Classic Coke. I would suggest you read up on the very controversial history of the substitute sweetener, Aspartame, and then judge for yourself if this garbage is so benign. Yes, the ad is definitely unrealistic, but that seems to be appropriate for the unrealistic product being hawked by it.
@centaureg, not denying it's bad for you. Somewhat surprising that a zero calorie drink has any sweetener (you'd think that would add calories), but not as much as I would have been prior to viewing Supersize Me in my middle school science class. Plus, I rarely if ever drink soda (though I am aware that is used in several other porducts).
It's curious that this stuff is banned in other countries because its contents are considered dangerous for consumption. (See recent developments in Venezuela). But the corporation is huge and can afford cutting edge advertising. It shows here. I would rate the video as "pretty cool", but I don't want to really endorse sales of this product. However, I'm not too proud to put it in my favorites and watch it again.
@centaureg, how is it dangerous? It's just carbonated water (granted, with too much sugar for our own good). Screw our backward backwater Venezuelan neighbors to the south. Say whatever you please about the product. That's one of the best parts of living in the US: the freedom of speech. BTW, the commercial is somewhat unrealistic, in my opinion. I don't think I would reveal my identity to humans if I were a centaur. More likely, the runner leans over the hedge and sees this.
