Coca-Cola’s new 90 Calorie Mini Can
By: Dee Marie

I love COKE! Coca-Cola that is. It’s by far my favorite beverage of choice-behind H2O of course. And now, thanks to Coca-Cola, my favorite soft drink is now available in convenient Mini cans. The new 90-calorie Mini cans are truly cute, stylish and a great way to manage all the calories we drink! The cans are slimmer, smaller and about 7.5 ounces and 90 calories compared to 12 ounces and 140 calories of the regular sized cans. I, myself, would welcome 90 calories over 140 calories any day. I must admit…I love the stuff! and nothing else really satisfies my taste buds. I’m not sure what it is but I’m almost to the point of being addicted…Really!
I realize that some would say soda is NOT at all good for you and I get that… but for those of us who do enjoy a little can of happiness every now and then, the new Mini can’s are a great option for a quick treat and a great way to cut back.
The new Mini’s will be available in Sprite, Fanta Orange, Cherry Coca-Cola and Barq’s Root Beer – sold in packs of eight. I received samples of the new Mini’s from The Coca-Cola Company and they tasted great. A new look but same great taste! The new cans work great for me since I’ve been trying to cut back and incorporate a much healthier diet. I am definitely enjoying these – maybe you will too!
I recently had a conversation with registered dietician, Jan Tilley about the new Coca-Cola Mini cans and how they can fit into one’s diet. Jan was a pleasure to speak with . Jan suggests that part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle is not feeling deprived and feels that deprivation has been the ruin of many healthier eating plans. I cannot agree with her more – that’s why I believe the new Mini cans will help out folks like me who are not totally ready to give up their favorite beverage. Portion control is also the key to any successful diet , Jan explained , and believes the new 90 calorie cans will go a long way to help people who love Coca-Cola but also want to manage their calories.
For more information, watch the promotional video here to see what else Jan has to say about the new 90-calorie Mini cans.
“The size of the packaging really reinforces moderation,” Jan says in the video. “And calling out the calorie content on the front of the label helps people to understand how this will fit into their calorie allotment for the day. Plus it’s fun, it’s cute, it’s portable. People still like to enjoy what they eat and drink, it’s one of the small pleasures in life.”

The great thing about Coke aside from its perfect taste. Is that you can even clean toilet bowls with the stuff. It’s amazing I once found a site that had like twenty different things Coke could be used for besides drinking. Think I will stick to dirinking the stuff. in mioni or full size cans. Espceially with some Captain Morgans.
Thats a great idea if you ask me. I, like many people, love coke and its amazing taste yet i am still very conscious of its sugar content and the amount of calories you can easily consume if you drink too much of it.
Having handy smaller cans like this is a great idea and you can easily track how many clories you are consuming whilst still enjoying that great coke taste.
great find!
It’s definitely a great addition to the Coke lineup and health conscious (which is great for people concerned about nutrition). And I can definitely related to the being hooked to Coke thing. There really isn’t anything like it and it’s just so dang delicious. Irresistible is probably a better word.
