To answer your question Tom, no I don't actually bloody well like it but neither do I particularly enjoy depilation or exercise but they Must Be Done to prevent me from slipping another notch down the Ladder of Mingingness.

Yugoslavian Coke makes you fart. This is true.
There's a reason the people in the ads look the way they do.
Me, I generally stick with sparkling water at home -- but out and about, sugary carbonization calls me...

Instructions: pour quantity of cola syrup into dispenser provided (if lost, use a sherry glass or something). Fill small bottle provided with tap water. Insert bottle into Sodastream carbonator and press button on top about three times. Release bottle - watch one third of the fizzy water escape from top of bottle. Add the syrup, watch more of the fizzy mixture escape and run over your hand. Pour the rest of the 'cola' down the sink.
Not everything in the 70s was good.

Diet Coke is fucked up. Convincing people that it's better for you than good honest sugary cola is one of the world's biggest marketing coups. Filth, I tell you.

top WW2 anecdote: some Brit PoWs escaped their Burmese HellCamp and hid in the lush farm-fields nearby, living on fresh pineapples plucked from the, er , pineapple vine (?). After [x] weeks undetected, they gave themselves up willingly and of their own accord: to a man, all their teeth had fallen out.

Caffeine is a diaretic, it can make you more thirsty and more quickly dehydrated. After years of drinking strong black Dutch coffee I stopped all caffeinated drinks for a couple of weeks. Once the headaches wore off I felt much better for it, especially when exercising.

Funny thing, though, is that beer makes my teeth feel cleaner. (Sapporo Draft One, 131 yen a can, is my usual beer these days.) Anyone else notice that with beer? Canned beer also floats in a tub of water, with the diet sodas.
― Umikun 13, Saturday, 3 December 2005 08:04 (twenty years ago)
I read this as: beer makes my feet feel cleaner. I bet it could do if you drank enough of it.
I never drink diet coke anymore. I think I had my fair share of aspertame intake. I decided to quit eating/drinking anything with aspertame. I know it's s'posed to be okay, but I don't wanna risk it...

Coke Zero Sugar, the new taste (rolling out worldwide right now, USA in August), sucks. It tastes like a can that has been left open for two days.I'm officially over my previous go to soft drink and looking for something else.
― StanM, Monday, 26 July 2021 13:16 (four years ago)
Did Coke forget to trademark "Zero Sugar"? It seems that everybody's got a Zero Sugar variety now.

coke zero sugar is different from coke zero?
― ciderpress, Monday, 26 July 2021 14:14 (four years ago)
zero sugar is the new name for coke zero (at least it is here in Belgium)
― StanM, Monday, 26 July 2021 14:32 (four years ago)
They changed the name from Zero to Zero Sugar in the U.S. in 2017.
― Hideous Lump, Monday, 26 July 2021 18:44 (four years ago)
Pepsi Max is called Pepsi Zero in the US ? Trying that now - it's certainly better than that new taste (Coca Cola) Zero Sugar!
