Lime Coke

I Love Pepsi Max, but alas you can't buy it in the US, so when I go to Canada I usually bring back several 12-packs.

My Drinks of Choice:

1) Pepsi Max
2) Wild Cherry Pepsi (only in Cans or 20oz, the 1 liter mix is too much like plain Coke)
3) Pepsi
4) RC Cola
5) Pepsi Vanilla
6) Pepsi One
7) Root Beer
8) 7-up
9) Diet Pepsi
10) Dr. Pepper

With out Diet Pepsi, and its extra Caffene, I couldn't get throught Finals.
Most other drinks suck.... Sierra Mist, I'm lookin in your direction. I HATE COKE, but will drink it if that is all that is available.

You should try fountain Cherry Coke...

We only just got Cherry Coke here in Australia. I don't think it's on tap (is that what you mean by fountain?) here yet.

Anyway, it does taste bad - I don't think it's the same as the US version. Maybe because I've only tried the US one in cans and the Aussie in plastic bottles.

All this talk of Coke is making me thirsty... I'm off to 7-11 :D
 
I'm having Vanilla Coke right now. Love the stuff.

Lime might work, but not in a diet drink, for me anyways.

I like the Lime Coke photo!;)
 
Favorite Drink:
NEW COKE!

RULES!

That could very well be. Unlike the US, where high-fructose corn syrup is used, European-bottled/canned Coke (and most other sodas I assume) use real sugar, and they taste better.
 
One thing I noticed is that Pepsi goes flat LONG before Coke does. That goes for diet and regular.

I first noticed that with Big Gulps, then noticed the same thing with the bottles and cans.

That's why I don't bother with Pepsi anymore.

I don't think they use Corn Syrup in any product made in Australia. I have seen it in bottled form at the supermarket though (imported, of course :) )

Love the plain old Coke and could drink it all day long if it wasn't for such a heavy dose of sugar. I think they should sell Cokes at a colder temperature though, for me it only works when it's chilled down.

I like peeling off the label on the bottles and just staring at this strange not so healthy looking black liquid in a bottle sitting on my desk. Weird that the product is black but I associate it as red.

Pepsi-Max is my usual drink.....except when I start to get jumpy then I drink water.

ps Cherry Coke tastes like cough medicine.

Plain old Coke is the go. I agree about the sugar thing though. As I have become older I'm looking for drinks that taste not as sickly. Coke is the only cola that doesn't taste like cola. In fact it doesn't really have a taste ;) Probably all the chemicals in it to keep you addicted.

Pepsi-Max is crazy! There was a time I drank 2 litres a day for 2 weeks straight. By the end of those 2 weeks I was trippin', hearing sounds (doorknocks and other freaky stuff). I'm now reformed but still drink it every now and then. Phenylanaline yay!

Cherry Coke doesn't taste very similar to the American version at all, tastes too similar to plain Coke. Dr Pepper tasted more like cough medicine which coincidentally I really liked.

Lime Coke is a least worth a try...
 
i used to drink "regular" coke - still do occasionally - but switched mostly to diet.

in college, when i was swimming 20+ hours a week, i could afford the calories. but these days, little things count. a can of soda has 120+ calories - that's a 10 minute jog.

i try to cut back on soda drinking in general though. it's bad for the bones...

given a chance, i'll give lime diet coke a try. i didn't like lemon diet coke/pepsi at all.

OT: one of the reasons i love occasional trip back to japan is the variety in drinks over there. the current trend is amino acid infused water. good stuff - low calorie and quite tasty. :D
 
I have been following this thread very carefully and I wondered if you or anyone you know experienced the memory loss that's been connected to aspartame used in diet products?



;)
 
i'll bite. as soon as it's available in my area, i will try ONE can.

but i'm a fan of lime stuff.

and pepsi is better than coke anyhow!

You should consider returning to Pepsi for the month of February. There will be a 1 in 3 chance of winning a free song from the iTunes Music Store.

Counterfit, I have actually had a couple of ocasions to try Moxie. It's not too bad.

I drink diet coke all day long, but I sure as heck don't remember if I don't remember anything.

That's why the industry should move to Splenda - its so much better than equal or the pink stuff. Shasta is actually using it in their diet sodas, but I haven't been able to find it anywhere locally.

I use Splenda all the time in my coffee & for whenever I need to sweeten something. I try to keep away from refined sugar as much as possible, and prefer to keep my intake low anyway. I don't drink soft drinks really, save for the very occasional diet coke. I wish they would use Splenda in it.

MrMacman, I'm actually a Coke fan. Willing to support Apple & Pepsi with the iTMS 100,000,000 song give away.

eyelikeart you are going to miss out on all the fun of winning. It's a good thing that you don't live in Chicago! :p

Right, here goes:

Coke - I can manage about 1 litre of this at a time.
Vanilla Coke - Good for a change, but I don't have it much.
Diet Coke - Can't stand it.
Diet Vanilla Coke - Worse than regular Vanilla Coke.
Diet Lemon Coke - Only had it once, can't really remember it that well.
Cherry Coke - It was disgusting. Nobody liked it. Discontinued in NZ years ago.
Dr Pepper - Never seen it in NZ.
Pepsi - It's OK.
Pepsi Max - As good as Coke in my opinion.
Lemon Pepsi - It's OK.
Diet Pepsi - Not sure that I've tried it.
L&P (available in NZ only) - My favourite :) (not a cola, but it's fizzy!).
