You pay $5 for a 2-liter??? Wow.....here it is and has been $0.99 for almost 10 years or so...


yes but not lemon...with lime.
No it never gets to $5 bucks it does get to $3.50 something I won't pay that I'll drink 0.64 cents SamsClub Soda sold at Wal-Mart instead. A few weeks now its been 5x 2 liter for $4 dollars, but just for the holidays for Coke Products. A friend of mine works to Coke in IT and he can get the 20 oz bottle you get from the vendoring machine for $.50 cent.

Yes I've been to the UK many times and Coke always taste different there than it does here. Sometimes coke can test sweet like Pepsi if mixed right in the fountains. If you don't like the way coke taste you can all them up and they'll send you a bunch of free coupons for their software. It happen to me and the wife. Vanila Coke made us sick to the stomach when it first came out. Funny coke sent me a box to fit a 2 liter box in and it could be FedEx back to them with free pickup. It took them 3 weeks for the secret call from coke test lab to get back to me with the results. They didn't want me to go to the press with it.

Anyway I have Cherry Coke in the REFG now.. I still think Wild Cherry Pepsi taste 100% better. Coke also makes the cheap stuff called Fanta. Wow! they have Crush orange soda and Mello Yello boy this some soda empire. I wonder what happen? I guess sells couldn't meet the demand for the smaller vendors too keep up! Merge they did all of them with either coke or pepsi.

Are you sure you're only 42? Sort of young for a prog-rocker. What's that you're trying to spell, "Coitus of a new generation"?

If they take all the caffeine and refined sugar out of Coke, all you've got left is carbonated water and food coloring. Ur, Zero..! Concur, do I. Face it, without the stimulant and the poison, you might as well drink water.

As to the TV advertising, didn't Michael Jackson's head almost get blown off making a Pepsi commercial? I don't drink it, but God bless the Pepsi Corporation anyway! (LOL)

thats interesting because I was told fanta is an EU product and in America its all about 7up and other sugar waters...
we have like 5 or 6 tastes for fanta but in only like the orange taste...

captaincranky, you're right and I do drink water most of the time and sometimes as tea
a pepsi is something I drink once in a while but coke is not what it was 10 years ago... its a different taste and I don't like it. worst thing is coke zero because the taste is even worse than diet coke (which in Germany is "coke light" - same for pepsi and others...)

Red Bull and COKE go great with most of the liquor I drink.

Montser is pretty good also, the Green one

I grew up in the American South (it's okay, I'm not racist) and my grandfather helped invent the first Minute Maid vending machines so drinking Pepsi was pretty much a sin in my grandmother's house. I've always found Pepsi to be way too sweet and watery tasting.

If I was going to have coke with lemon, make is a regular coke with a slice of REAL lemon- thats the best. But in general I don't drink either very much anymore, new studies are coming out saying that soda is actually bad for your mitochondria. And anyone whose played Parasite Eve knows you just don't mess around with mitochondria.
