Nutritional Information

Practical tips to get the most from it:

Order cold and fresh: Ask for extra ice or a chilled glass to keep the cream texture light and the lime sharp. The contrast between cold cola and sweet cream is what makes the drink sing.

Customize smartly: Request more lime or a straw so the cream mixes slowly, or ask for a light pour of sweet cream if preferring less sweetness. For a lower-sugar feel, pick Coca‑Cola Zero variants at locations that offer them in the Slammin’ lineup.

Timing matters: Sip your drink soon after it arrives to experience the perfect balance before the cream settles too much. If you take your time, the cream may thicken on top, altering the mouthfeel, so occasional gentle stirring can keep the flavors harmonious throughout.

Pair with the right bites: This creamy cola goes surprisingly well with salty snacks or light desserts. Think crispy fries, salted nuts, or vanilla ice cream to elevate your tasting experience. The saltiness contrasts the cream’s sweetness, creating a delightful interplay of flavors.

Complementary Food Pairings:

Pairing suggestions

– Burgers and fries: The cream softens cola’s tang while lime cuts through fried richness.
– Sweet breakfasts: Pancakes or waffles match the sweet cream for a dessert-like combo.
– Spicy items: Tacos or buffalo-style dishes benefit from the drink’s cooling cream and citrus lift.

Why these pairings work: The drink balances fat and spice with acidity and sweetness, which makes it versatile with many diner staples.

Calorie Breakdown:

Total per serving: ~160 calories (as reported at Denny’s). Key contributors include:

• Carbonated Coca‑Cola base: primary liquid calories

Estimated burn times for ~160 calories (varies by body weight and intensity):

1. Walking (3 mph): ~35–45 minutes
2. Jogging (6 mph): ~12–15 minutes
3. Cycling (moderate): ~20–25 minutes
