The story · 1983

The story of One-Calorie Cola

One-Calorie Cola had a fizzy, slightly mysterious taste that kids described as a robot's idea of soda. Moms bought it by the case, and the fridge door rattled with silver cans. Taking one without asking was a serious crime. Kids who snuck a sip usually made a face and put it back, which was evidence enough.

Fun fact

The can claimed one calorie, and kids spent years wondering exactly which sip it was hiding in.
