Did you know that coca cola was originally green? Do you think it would have done so well if it had stayed green? I don't know if it would have made much difference to its success really as its the taste that counts. I love diet coke best. how about you?

it was really green? really i wonder why it was green then they changed it to the color it has now. maybe because people do not find the color very attractive? imagine, drinking carbonated green liquid? hehe

I don't think green is a very appropriate colour to the taste of coke. I really think it's current brown colour better in giving you an idea of the taste. Green denotes lime flavour or lemonade more, I think. However, once tasted, I guess coke would still have upheld its reputation. I say this, and I don't even like coke. :-)

i don't like the thought of green coke, but then again, if it was that way and always had been i'm sure i would still drink it. green seems to artificial i think.

Apparently it was also the coca cola company that turned Santa from green to red! Perhaps it would do well as green now as people might associate it with eco friendly. I can't get on with diet coke - I don't like the artificial sweetener taste. Love coca cola much more than Pepsi and also more than is good for me.

Green? Really? I didn't know that actually. Thanks for the info. I guess it will not matter anymore. Like what you've said, it's the taste that matters after all. ;)
