Coke as a healthy drink?? Ummm..... Errr..... uhhh.... Ooookay?
I wonder how much it cost Coke to buy a few reporters on this one? Then, of course, we get to the little details of the LITTLE sample size they mean...and not what any right thinking American would draw from the headline itself, of course.
Mini-cans. Yeah... I think they mean the ones so small, even airlines hesitate to try and peddle them to a paying public. Oookay.. So if we drink 7.5 little ounces, we'll be better off and actually call it healthy? I see... (well, I don't really, but that isn't the point)

Oh.. these people have absolutely no shame, whatsoever. None. Not even a scrap of it to recognize as such. They just don't. Why would I be so critcal of the cute little cans they now peddle as HEALTHY?? Why..because it's a scam to screw us out of more money, of course...and now using the Health label? That is just obscene to the point of near criminal, in my view.
Why? This is why....
Ahhh.. Follow the money..as usual.

So remember this story and the lesson it holds for folks in the future. Reporters can be of low or no character, and tho I can't prove they were outright bought to peddle that trash about Coke being a HEALTHY alternative drink ....I can say they're about as sincere as a $3, while pimping for the Coke Corp.
It's a sad sad thing to see......reporting and commercialism cross over, in such a way as to question everything reported on similar topics in the future.
When the lies become open, the truth is gone for the duration.
NEW YORK — Coca-Cola is working with fitness and nutrition experts who suggest its soda as a treat at a time when the world's biggest beverage maker is being blamed for helping to fuel obesity rates.
I wonder how much it cost Coke to buy a few reporters on this one? Then, of course, we get to the little details of the LITTLE sample size they mean...and not what any right thinking American would draw from the headline itself, of course.
In February, several of the experts wrote online posts for American Heart Month, with each including a mini-can of Coke or soda as a snack idea.

For Coca-Cola Co., the public relations strategy with health experts in February focused on the theme of "Heart Health & Black History Month." The effort yielded a radio segment and multiple online pieces.
One post refers to a "refreshing beverage option such as a mini can of Coca-Cola." Another suggests "portion-controlled versions of your favorites, like Coca-Cola mini cans, packs of almonds or pre-portioned desserts for a meal."

Soda sales may be in a slump, but one sliver of the soft drink market—the segment that comes in smaller than usual sizes, including those adorably tiny 7.5-ounce cans—is booming. What’s especially curious about the trend is that sales have been taking off even though the smaller packages offer far worse value to consumers.
Ahhh.. Follow the money..as usual.
Beyond their nontraditional size, what all of the smaller soda items have in common is that they’re “premium-priced packages.” Yes, the value proposition in the trendy category is that you not only get less product, but you get to pay more for the privilege. Coca-Cola estimates that consumers typically pay 31¢ for each traditional 12-ounce Coke purchased in a 12- or 24-pack at the supermarket. By contrast, the average price per 7.5-ounce mini can breaks down to 40¢ a pop.
