Or they should at least double the caffeine to make up for the lost sugar hit. Let alone the fact that sugar is no doubt much healthier than whatever chemical they're using as a substitute.

Though, looking at the similarity between this blog and the original "zero-movement" blog it's hard to know. Seems like if this is a joke it's gone on a little long doesn't it? Whatever, either way I'm totally with the movement. Life should have like, zero hassles man. Does anyone know how this stuff tastes with Bundy? Now that should be a topic that they should post about on that blog. Oh, and don't diss vanilla Coke! I actually like that stuff. My first impression of this was to think “piss-take”.
