Upon entering Tommy’s House of Pizza one day seeking the refreshing taste of Coca-Cola during one of Cambridge’s last sunny afternoons, Dartboard encountered the latest of soda-pop peculiarities—C2. With a name that is eerily reminiscent of the popular Schwarzenegger sequel, Coke’s newest invention, labeled in an emboldened (and undeniably tough) red and black font, sits stoutly like a muscle car in a can. Ironically packed with only half the punch (half the carbs, that is), it seems that health-smart men finally have a drink with...

...Dartboard can understand the hardship of mass-producing food for a fickle population, and in many cases would not demand further expense. But for the Harvard students who want to salvage that not-so-happy meal or wake up to the familiar pots of gold swimming in his or her Lucky Charms, a change should be made...
