I've heard it plenty of times in the US too - but then because the alternative is diet coke (assuming you can't bear to drink anything other than coke... water, anyone?), and since any kind of fat is considered to be the Devil incarnate, I figured that's why they're calling it "full fat coke".
I'm surprised they're still of the mind that sugary coke is fattening though, because everyone knows it's not the carbs that make you fat, it's dietary fat that makes you fat, right? 
They can't have it both ways - either it's fat that makes you fat, or it's carbs that make you fat, but maybe they'll figure it out eventually. |
