Fiber One products used to enthrall me. I mean, not the products themselves, but the attempts to cram fiber into them. The boxes used to proudly show off how much of your daily fiber you\u2019re getting per serving. For a lot of them, mainly the snack bars<\/a>, it was 20 percent. But with others it fluctuates. <\/p>\n There\u2019s 35 percent<\/a>, 40 percent<\/a>, 43 percent<\/a>, and 28 percent<\/a>.<\/p>\n Whenever I saw a new Fiber One product, I hoped that somehow the food scientists at General Mills could cram 50 to 100 percent of our daily fiber into a snack bar or something, but they couldn\u2019t deliver. I guess they can only do so much with chicory root extract and soluble corn fiber without it tasting like it has chicory root extract and soluble corn fiber.<\/p>\n Now, I\u2019m sure some of you are going to point out that you can get 65 percent of your daily recommended amount from eating a serving of Fiber One\u2019s Original Bran Breakfast Cereal. But that\u2019s not something I want to eat.<\/p>\n Thankfully, I found a product that\u2019s better tasting than a bowl of Fiber One bran cereal AND gives me more fiber per serving \u2014 Kirin Mets Tokuho Cola. Yes, it\u2019s a Japanese cola that many of you will not be able to get your hands on, but it\u2019s such a fascinating product that I had to write about it.<\/p>\n It has 25 grams of fiber per 16-ounce bottle, which comes out to 89% of the daily recommended amount, and that\u2019s possible because the second ingredient listed is dietary fiber. \u201cTokuho\u201d is a label that can be put on food and drinks in Japan that have health benefits, and those health claims must be scientifically proven though testing and trials before it can be approved by the Japanese government to receive the \u201cTokuho\u201d label.<\/p>\n As for the fiber-dense cola, its flavor reminds me of cola gummies, but sugar free and with a noticeable artificial sweetener aftertaste, thanks to the aspartame, sucralose, and acesulfame potassium. It\u2019s better tasting than a bowl of bran, but slightly less satisfying to my taste buds than a Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve purchased this Kirin Mets Tokuho Cola three times so far ($2.50) from a grocery store chain here that imports products from Japan, and it would\u2019ve been more, if not for the fact that it sold out a couple of times. I guess I keep wanting to buy it because it tickles me that it has almost an entire day’s worth of fiber. As for gastrointestinal problems for drinking something with so much fiber, it wasn\u2019t an issue because I didn\u2019t chug the whole thing in one sitting. (Nope, not going to try it. Don\u2019t ask.)<\/p>\n Would I buy a diet cola from Pepsi or Coke that has 89% of my daily fiber? If it tasted like Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi, I would. Would you, if you\u2019re a diet cola drinker?<\/p>\n Purchased Price:<\/strong> $2.50 Fiber One products used to enthrall me.
