Coca-Cola Co. ... is testing a new mid-calorie version of its flagship cola brand....

The world's largest soft drink maker has been testing the product, which would have about half of the calories of its Coke Classic product, said John Sicher, editor of Beverage Digest. An 8-ounce serving of Coke Classic has 100 calories.

What in the world does "mid-calorie" actually mean? What will cause this product to have calories (or to have fewer calories)? If Diet Coke has less than one calorie, what's all the fuss? What else are they cutting? Will it still have the same number of carbs? When will they be sweetening with Splenda? I could go on forever, of course... I'm really interested to see the nutrition facts and ingredients list on this little venture of theirs.

I must admit, I'm not a huge cola fan (Coke or any other), so this may be a little biased. Give me a Diet Hansen's any day!
