> If Coca-Cola tomorrow said ("our bad, we're sorry"), switched to a low/zero calorie sweetener blend (Stevia, Erythritol, Monk Fruit maybe a little aspartame) with approximate flavor and completely dropped sugar / HFCS then I'd believe they give a crap about tackling obesity.
They've already tried that with "Coca-Cola Life" [0] but people also need to buy this stuff for it to stick and many people are fickle about their "coke taste".
Case in point: I could never stand the taste of the "light" and "zero" variants, and because I don't drink this stuff to hydrate, but for the taste, I will always go for the version that tastes best to me because it's not something I drink that regularly.

- tracker1 8y agoCoke Life still had like 70% of the sugar... Stevia doesn't work well on its own. Also, they'd need to push the brand over. They didn't replace a product.
