Search for Coca Cola C2 continues
I still haven't been lucky at tracking down a bottle of Coca Cola C2, something I've been trying for two months (as I mentioned in a previous post).
Today I received an e-mail from a Coca Cola official in Atlanta who among other things said the beverage is available in his city along with Zero, the crap that seems to have kicked C2 off the East Coast shelves. Here's an excerpt from the official's e-mail:
"[C2] is absolutely still available and is performing well. C2 has resonated with the core target -- the dual user, those who alternate between sugar and diet drinks."
I always felt an integral part of that core target and hearing Coca Cola say that makes me even sadder that I can't consume their corporate goods. Mr. Coke guy said C2 recently added a 2-liter bottle to the packaging mix (I knew that), but also acknowledged the marketing fiasco of the C2 launch last May.
"Volume was initially below projections due to initial pricing issues, but sales have picked up as pricing has been adjusted."
If anyone spots a bottle or can of C2, please drop me a note.

I am SO with you. Can't find C2 here, and am going nuts! Can't bring myself to drink Zero (name fits- yuck) or to go back to the full-calorie version. I even like the taste of C2 better than Classic! I continue the hunt as well- I'm about to get the phone book and call all grocers I can in a 50 mile radius. I wish you luck in your search...

Drop me a not if you find anything. It'll be interesting to see where this C2 is hiding.

I can't find it in stores here in VA either. The only place I can get it is at my snack bar at work. I buy a few to take home with me on the weekend but at a $1.10 each, it is getting to be a wallet cruncher! Good luck!
