Since when can a Coke product help you lose weight? Well, the newly launched Coke Enviga is supposed to. The Coca-Cola company says that drinking three cans of Enviga a day can burn 60-100 calories by revving up your metabolism. This is according to a study (funded by Coca-Cola, of course) on healthy 18-35 year olds (you know, the people who don’t really need to lose weight anyway). Even if the claims are true, the Wall Street Journal had a write up about how much you’d have to spend to burn off those 60 calories a day (each can costs $1.29). They pointed out that you’d have to drink 28 Envigas and spend $36.12 to burn off the calories in a McDonald’s Big Mac. That’s pricey and you’d sure be doing a lot of peeing.
But if you just want to check it out for the novelty of it (or because you like green tea drinks), by all means, let us know how it tastes.
