sedith Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I think this is rude. They are two completely different brands and indeed tastes. It is not like asking for Guinness and being offered normal or Extra Cold. Coke is a registered trade mark ... if they don't sell CocaCola you should be informed as such and offered an alternative like Pepsi? I actually prefer Pepsi Max out of them all, its not as sweet. What I won't have under any circumstances is the postmix syrup with carbonated water that goes flat within a minute or the budget alternatives like Ben Shaws etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eurovision Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 Has anyone ever mixed Coca-Cola with red wine? Now there is a good combination of flavour (though I must say some find it repulsive or at least the thought of it repulsive and indeed a waste of good wine!) Another friend of mine and I thought we had discovered something new but apparently there is a term to describe the concoction. Kalimotxo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Orange Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I don’t know Agent Orange. I never crave coffee or indeed crave Coke. It is more the taste, texture, flavour... Mmmmm do you drink coffee often? Admittedly, I like nothing more than a cold bottle of coke or pepsi. I know I shouldn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brus Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I used to work with a guy who was addicted to Coca Cola, in fact he used to have a 24 pack whilst he was on his shift at work, unknown as to what he was drinking at home or during the night? Consequently he had severe stomach problems and his doctor told him if he didn't stop it would kill him .... eventually it did!

eurovision Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 Tee hee I know I shouldn't either! Oh talking about it makes me want! I have coffee at work. But if I have a meeting first thing and no time to make coffee I can get through the day without even thinking about it. I have milky coffee. I microwave milk on full power for eighty seconds then stir in a spoonful of instant. If I was to make it the normal way I would mostly milk anyway.

OH wanted a foot long kebab the other week (God knows why) from Pop In takeaway. I'm pretty sure their menu says 'Bottle of Coke' (as opposed to cola) and we got a Tesco Value bottle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The foot long kebab sounds sublime. I want! I should not be reading this so close to lunch time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eurovision Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 Leah-Lacie you have just reminded me of something. Often when I get Coca-Cola from a takeaway the label is in Arabic or Ukrainian. Is there any reason for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
