Crystal Pepsi rules
...my daughter is allergic to caramel color and she would hardily agree with you....
I just wish I could have tried new coke. Hey, Q, wanna lend me that time machine?
...it was nasty...
...really sweet, like Pepsi....
...doggy winks...
It sure messed up my Jack and Coke. I mean who wants Jack and Pepsi?
...absolute ironclad truth...
...the rum people agree also...
Bartenders were going crazy trying to find the old coke. They were not happy. If you had any of the old stuff, you could make a good little bit of pocket change, just selling it to the bars.
...that added a whole new meaning to "coke dealers"...
...howls....
And seemed less carbonated, it was awful.
...it didn't have the "burn"....
...howls...
It was nasty 🤢
Love your user name. One of my wife's favorite fragances
Thank you - I named my dobie Shalimar then found the fragrance lol
I always thought New Coke was a scheme by Coca-cola company to add back in a pinch of cocaine to their product without having to disclose it. Making Coke very addictive! Knowing that the New Coke taste terrible and would be rejected the company flooded the market with it causing the population to demand the ORIGINAL FORMULA! So the company obliged, rolled out the old Coke calling it Coke Classic and listing "Original Formula" above the ingredients. The Original formula as many know HAD cocaine in it.

Only recently have they removed the words "Original Formula" from the package, maybe they got caught?
Instead of saying "Original Formula" it now says "Original Taste" and I find it not as addictive. Just saying!
What are your thoughts?
...I don't drink a great deal of soda...
...but when I do...
...it is Coke...
...I have a friend who procures "Mexican Coke"....
...I don't know where she finds it...
...she is addicted to it and swears it is totally different than what is sold here...
...and it is...
...one thing, it is made with real sugar, not that fake high fructose corn syrup poison...
...that in itself would give you a high...
...maybe there is some other white powder along with the sugar...
...my friend is one of the happiest people I know...
...howls...
I've heard it was to cover the switch from sugar to corn syrup. Coke made with cane sugar, Mexican, is the nectar of the Gods.
What isn’t plausible these days… 🤷🏻♂️
...we live in the age of open minded stupidity....
...howls...
In hindsight, it seems to me that "new" Coke was a marketing scam to cover the fact that their product didn't taste the same with corn syrup in the formula, so they pulled it off the market, gave us "new" Coke for a year pkus, and then, riding a red horse, here comes "Coca Cola Classic", and the chokehold Pepsi had on the soft drink market since Michael Jackson and Alfonso Riberio appeared in a commercial together, was loosened up. They both taste, as Berkely Breathed put it, like "Malted battery acid."...the rise of "Bud Light" is a humorous tale, as well...soda is gross, though, bottom line...Chocolate Milk FTW
...chocolate milk is sublime...
We can get Mexican Coca-Cola here in Florida, but one needs to go to Publix or another supermarket that is not a big box store.
...doggy winks...
...try some and let me know if it makes you "happy"....
...howls....
It definitely beats the American Coke, but I personally don't do well with either sugar or HCF (high fructose corn syrup). So I wait until the Zevia (Sweetened with stevia) goes BOGO. But my husband likes it better- it is more expensive, so he waits for the BOGO, as well.
...I am a big fan of Body Amour....
,,,all natural and the low cal is sweetened with stevia and the regular uses real sugar...
