Interesting.
Whilst we're on this topic, what do you think of Coke?
Personally I don't drink it unless it's cherry or Rasberry (in NZ)
I don't drink it becauseit's bad for your teeth
it's bad for you
it's american, and america is rich enough - I'd rather spend my money on something locally produced. Besides, I've drunk enough coke for a lifetime already.
What are your thoughts?

I don't drink coke or coca-cola amatil products if i can help it. I prefer the taste of pepsi anyways (altho i do love vanilla coke and lime coke), but i hate that coca-cola is such a massive corporation and has far far too much money and the like. I don't eat mcdonalds or starbucks for the same reasons.
even tho i know im a hypocrite, cos i live off milo and nestle are well known spawns of satan.

coke employees are fanatical. apparently they do things like try to make their kids' first words to be "coke" and stuff like that.

From a a purely unbiased non commercial battering non nutrition value angle...coke is beautiful
Fresh from the fridge in a can or glass bottle it's vertually unrivalled for taste, refreshment and general loveliness. But
I don't drink much because of all the sugar and caffeine, I don't drink much becuase like Rouge I think they're rich enough without me helping (this obviously has to include the entire coke/schweppes brads, tango, fanta etc etc) them to dominate the world even more.
I choose fresh juice these days...

i thought this was a thread about cocaine. hmm. all i know about coke (the drink) is that I dont like it, and when i drink it, my belly feels like its full of syrup, yuck.

I don't really drink coke, but that's because I don't drink soca when I can help it. Like you guys've already said, it's bad for your teeth, and bad for your health. Plus, water's MUCH less expensive, assuming you're not buying it by the bottle
....although every now and then, a little coke isn't all that bad

ive had schweppes couldy lemonade and ive never been to africa or australia. i cant remember where though.
they tried to boycott coca cola at uni, it didnt work really well because all of our vending machines and pumps in the bar are coke, and they sell so many damned products. besides. it is tasty. especially the lime stuff.

I quit drinking coke when I found out that my main reason for headaches was when I hadn't had any coke in 24 hours. I would then have a headache for a day from pure caffeine abstinence.
It was either drink it every day or never again, and I don't like being addicted to anything...(except air, water, food, love...)

the cloudy lemmon is'nt lemonade it's like really old skool home made lemonade and it's not as fizzy as most fizzy drinks. it's great on a comedown or mixed with vodka

Remember - 'Fanta' was created by Coca-Cola to sell to Germany during WWII so that they could still trade with Germany and not have their name dragged through the mud...

R Whites do that cloudy lemonade I think. In fact i'm sure they do. It's a pale yellow colour whereas most are the clear variety.
Could somebody stop the room please... I'd like to get off

I'm the same! I love coke but I feel guilty drinking it.
Especially around anti-coke people *looks at Rougie*
Never got into the vanilla, lemon or lime stuff though *shudders* They all taste horrible!
.All things are beautiful if we take the time to look.

you only drink coke in the nude?
if you live within 500 miles of Atlanta, all carbonated beverages are "cokes". i forget the word for a brand name that is used like a generic, but this has become one. if you want proof, go into any resteraunt in the south US and ask for a coke. They'll look at you like you're crazy for not specifying what kind, and then probably start listing "we have coca-cola, diet coke, sprite, dr. pepper, mellow yellow,..." you actualy have to say "coca-cola" or "regular coke" if that's what you want. maybe you've all heard of this strangeness before, but just thought i'd share.

My mammy never let me have fizzy pop. Maybe that's why I don't really like it (and why my teeth are in such good nick).
