I tried the “healthy” Coca-Cola TikTok trick: this is our verdict

Do you remember the first time you drank Coca-Cola?

Of course he can.

At the age of five, I was introduced to a drink full of sugar. I was so excited that I got sick after drinking all the 2 liter bottles at once.

I should have, but it didn’t.

Over the years, I have experienced a period of obsession with different types of coke drinks.

After being very scared of tooth decay, I switched from regular Coke to Diet Coke. At my four-year college, there wasn’t a day that I didn’t get a bottle.

Whenever I was stressed, hungry, or tired, I would buy a can of delicious diet items.

So my interest shifted to Coke Zero. We promised the original taste without sugar rush and started a new romance. Soon, a big trip to McDonald’s became a must for Sunday.

So when I discovered the latest hack on TikTok, which claims to be making “healthy” coke, it piqued my interest.

Using just two ingredients, the trend was started by @mandyvjones, who posted on TikTok and explained that her Pilates instructor makes the concoction almost every day as a “healthy alternative to coke.”

In his video, he makes drinks with balsamic vinegar and guava-flavored lacroix, a brand of sparkling water in the United States.

Millions of views asked people if it was true.

I did too, so I decided to try it myself.

judgment

On a wet Monday night, I went to a local store and bought the ingredients I needed.

Unfortunately we don’t have LaCroix in Ireland (where I live) because we’re not cool enough and we have some habits.

Instead, I used a basic bottle of deep river rock sparkling water with a summer fruit flavor that claims to pack a vitamin punch.

Mandy advises using diluted vinegar on ice and pouring sparkling water over it.

This is exactly what I did. In other words, it’s time to test the battery.

judgment? It has nothing in common with the taste of coca.

This drink has no depth, it’s all sweet vinegar and no flavor.

To me it tastes like cheap cola to give to the kids when they don’t want to spend money on the real thing.

So the baby drinks it and bursts into tears just like you shattered his dreams.

It doesn’t look like the original and the other statements are wrong.

My advice? Go out, buy something real, save the vinegar and make a nice salad.
