Speaking of Coke... they STOLE my idea...
...sometimes to cut calories, I mix diet coke with regular coke at fountains. Been doing it for years. I call it "Coke Lite."

and now...

Coke Launching Mid-Calorie Cola

Coke is launching a mid-calorie cola that promises half the sugar, carbohydrates and calories of its regular version.

The company has been researching the idea for a year.


There will be subtle packaging differences to distinguish between the new drink and the company's flagship brand.


In January, PepsiCo Inc. said it, too, was looking at the idea of selling a mid-calorie cola. At the time, spokesman Dave DeCecco said the Purchase, N.Y.-based company had applied for a patent for Pepsi LS, which some have speculated stands for low sugar. The company later named its mid-calorie cola Pepsi Edge and said it would debut in the United States this summer, roughly the same time as Coke's version, DeCecco said Monday.
