coke canada gave me a bunch of new drinks to try. here are my thoughts:

Coke doesn’t need my endorsement. I’m not being paid for this. If my opinion influences you to try their new flavours then I guess my work is done? I’m not an influencer. I just pass along praise where praise is due, and I don’t give any extra time or effort (or blog posts) to products that I felt were ‘meh.’

Full disclosure: a rep for Coca Cola Canada asked me if I’d be interested in trying their new flavours and I said ‘heck yes!’ Look, I know caffeine isn’t good for me. I know sugary drinks aren’t a healthy go-to snack. Everything in moderation, and I honestly gave the sugary drinks to my kids because I’m a good mom (right?). Again, everything in moderation - and brush your teeth - etc.!

Ok. So. Back to caffeine being bad. Let me tell you something, 'oh boy, do I ever love a caffeine in my drinks. I limit myself to two cups of coffee and one Diet Coke per day. When I saw these fuze Iced Tea options had zero sugar AND caffeine, I was very intrigued.

Can I also just add that Iced Tea has really snuck up on me as a thirst quenching option lately? I’m not sure why. I’m not big on sugary drinks, or juice or any sodas (really) outside of Diet Coke… but lately, when I’m craving a drink that has a bit more flavour than a glass of water (because I also love, love, love drinking water), I’ve been opting for Iced Tea. Maybe it’s because I’ve been watching so much Southern Charm? I don’t know.

Here is the fuze iced tea line-up they sent me to try; all are delicious. When I need a bit of a sugary ‘pick me up’ before doing something semi-physical, I grab one of these. 10/10 can solidly recommend giving them a try and the sugar free version tasted just like the real thing.

My kids are big orange flavoured soda fans, so I let them have at the Coke and Coke Zero Orange Cream sodas. Here are their comments:

“I liked the zero sugar one, it had a hint of orange. And the regular one, I found the flavours blended well.”

“I love both of them!”

So consider them fans, too. Nice to have the zero sugar option. Not a lot of sugar-free flavoured soda options that deliver on taste.

Do what you want with this information. As a consumer myself, I will be purchasing these fuze drinks as a household staple (especially in the warmer months). Would highly recommend the zero sugar fuze iced tea and raspberry fuze as an impulse buy when you need to quench a thirst and want a little boost with flavour.
