I know water is the best thing on Earth, but sometimes I want that nice feeling of soda water.
I usually have one glass of diet coke around lunch, but I can't drink coke (caffeine) after about 3:00. I have looked at a few brands of "cider" here, but they are all full-sugar options. The print is too small to make out the grams of sugar, but they all seem to have between 85-95 kcal (why kcal?) of calories per serving.
Anyone know any "diet" or low sugar cider? Even plain soda water would be nice, but I never saw that for sale.
Thanks,

Costco has the best prices and selections for sodas.

It says Kcal beacuse the actual unit for measuring food energy (calorie) is very small and most westerners just generalize and say calorie, when in fact the measurements on all food is Kilo Calorie.

Example: If you drink a can of coke and it says 200 calories. It actually has 200,000 calories. So it is correct to shorten calorie to Kcal.

I guess all that is a mute point anyways since calories are just a rough estimate of energy, Joules.

1 calorie = ~4.2 Joules

That is an incredibly tiny about of energy, so we just use the kilo version.

I got the 나랑드 from e-mart tonight, it was in 2 liter bottles, not just the small cans. Great to find something zero calorie in a caffeine free cider! I never found a zero calorie sprite or cider at Costco (yongdungpo branch). E-mart isn't really on my way, and homeplus doesn't have this cider. I may try to just get 12 bottles delivers every couple of months. I never had food products delivered before.
Interesting about the cal or kcal. It's always abbreviated as Cal in America. Maybe calling it kCal would help with the American health problems.

Instead of kcal you might also see Cal vs. cal. Cal means kilo calories. For some reason america uses this format, while other countries use kcal format.

You can find plain club soda in the booze section at Emart.
