I know the headline sounds funny, but remember that could kill a diabetic.

    Headline could be written better, I warned my friend who’s sister is a diabetic before realizing its just the lemonade

      Now you know better than to stop reading after two seconds. If you spent three more seconds reading the summary your panicked warning would have been avoided.

        If I had stopped reading after 2 seconds I wouldn’t know it was the lemonade, something that should be put front and center because if I was a drinker of minute maid zero sugar lemonade and I saw “Coke recalls popular zero sugar drink”, I wouldn’t’ve bothered reading further.

          Anyone downvoting is just shilling for shitty news practices.

          This headline was intentionally misleading. At BEST it’s meant to be vague to make you click into the article to find out what the drink is. Either way it’s shitty.

          Did you only read the headline and immediately tell someone not to drink cola…
          or did you read the headline and summary and still tell someone not to drink cola?

          Make up your mind.
