This is really great lower calories soft drink and tastes good too.
I just noticed this and some other brands of carbonated beverages at Whole Foods in the last weeks.  I stopped drinking Coke and other carbonated drinks because of the high fructose corn syrup and the dense concentration of empty calories as spoken about by .  This brands has smaller servings, and less calories.<br /><br />1 Coke has 140 calories per 12 ounce serving meaning almost 12 calories per ounce.<br />12 Ounces Coke 140 Calories<br />12 Ounces Q Kola 105 Calories<br /><br />1 Q Kola has 70 calories per 8 ounce serving or almost 9 calories per ounce.<br />8 Ounces Q Kola 70 Calories<br />8 Ounces Coke 93 Calories<br /><br />An 8 ounce serving of Coke has 24 more calories than an 8 ounces serving of Q Kola.<br />A 12 ounce serving of Coke has 36 more calories than an 8 ounces serving of Q Kola.<br /><br />3500 calories in a pound of fat, so that is about 1167 ounces more of Q Kola you would have to drink to<br /><br />To gain a pound of fat you would need to drink 25 cans of Coke or 33 equivalent cans of Q Kola,<br />that is you can drink more Q Kola for the same caloric "price".<br /><br />I'm just saying that Q Kola tastes pretty good, complex, spicy, sweet and refreshing ... like Coke<br />with about 75% of the calories.<br /><br />Plus you will drink less because the bottle aren't 12 ounces, they are 8 ounces, though you can<br />get 6 ounces cans of Coke now and they are cheaper than Q Kola.<br /><br />I will stick with some of these new drinks like Q Kola put my money into more reasonable and<br />healthy alternatives.<br /><br />That said I am trying to cut down on all soft drinks, and even juice, except real fresh juiced fruits<br />and vegetables.  I find these smaller less calorie dense drinks a help in that effort, and I also do<br />not like to contribute money to Coca-Cola that has been going on for decades knowing they a<br />are contributing to the sickness and obesity of Americans.<br /><br />--- By the way Q also makes a very interesting tasting ginger ale.  It is sharp and spicy and a<br />bit hard for me, a lightweight, to take straight, but on ice watered down, which is how I like it<br />it's really excellent and sophisticated tasting.
