Have you tried it?
Bought some 1.5L bottles in Sweden and I must say I rather like it. Stevia has a little strange aftertaste but all in all there isn't really that much difference.
Bought one to try a while ago, was rather new since they were still working on the display.
Didn't really like it compared to regular coke. But... It's a whole lot better than that Zero or Light crap The after taste of Life is less horrible than Zero and light.
Fuck sake, why isn't this in Norway? Typical of this country to stay way behind on products such as this.
Coca Cola only chose Sweden and UK for a limited time to see how hot the product is. Urge (USA: Surge) was only available in Norway in the same way and is still available. Im guessing pretty much every country out there would accept if they could. At least when its a product with less calories
Im hoping it comes to Norway, but it doesn't really matter that much to me because I shop in Sweden pretty often

As far as i know Surge wasn't all that popular so they stopped selling it in the US, but ofc when something disappears people find out it's the best thing ever.

Wouldn't some stores import it? Might be difficult to find though.
(The same way I can sometimes see Coke: Vanilla and Cherry - well they're not that uncommon anymore. - being sold over here alongside various USA ales and other "foreign" product brands, speaking of that Pepsi Black or whatever it was called has disappeared forever but it didn't taste that good either, Lemon and Licorice I think.)
I don't really drink Coke but if it tastes anything like the foreign bottle of Sprite I bought that contained stevia, with that after taste, then no thanks

I have not tried it but I would. All those artificial sweeteners they use for diet drinks leave a weird after taste in my mouth. I use a 50/50 sugar/stevia blend for my coffee and tea and it tastes like normal sugar so I could see this working well in coke too.
I stopped drinking sugary drinks years ago - at most I'll drink Pepsi Max (fuck Coca Cola Zero & Light - tastes like shit) - so I'll pass on this.
But stevia is going to end up in almost everything in the near-future, mark my words. With the EU cracking down on the amounts of salt and sugar allowed in food, many of our clients at work (huge food corporations) are already testing stevia in some of their lines.
For those who like Nutella, they're working on a stevia variant but are currently trying to find a substitute for sugar texture-wise - stevia only needs minute amounts to taste as sweet as regular sugar so you can't just replace sugar with stevia.
Also, little sidenote: Nutella (and other choco pastes) contains almost zero cacao. It's mostly oil, sugar and hazelnuts.
