Apparently Coca-Cola has finally recovered from the new Coke disaster . . . Because they're tempting fate again.

They just announced they're killing off Coke Zero next month and replacing it with a new drink called Coca-Cola Zero Sugar.  The cans will look pretty much like traditional red Coke cans, but with the words "Zero Sugar" added.

But it's not just the same stuff with a new name and new packaging . . . it's also got a new formula and slightly different taste. They're doing a lot to make sure this isn't a repeat of the New Coke thing.  They spent five years researching it, and then tested it by replacing Coke Zero in 25 countries before bringing it here.

It's still a risk though . . . and based on the reaction on social media yesterday, people aren't thrilled with the idea. "Coke Zero" was trending pretty much all day on Twitter .

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
