now can they do something about how that junk actually TASTES? (of course I'm thinking of the NZ-cased Coke Citron, which includes some leon in it)

[heartovmidnight.livejournal.com]

I think the soon to be released black-cherry-vanilla coke has even fewer calories.

I know that the diet version does not taste like diet, that's for sure.

[simplisticton.livejournal.com]

Coke Zero is my Coke-du-jour. I don't understand how they can make a zero-footprint soft-drink.

They used to say Coke is it. I used to be with it, then they changed what it is, and now what it is is strange and frightening to me.

[heartovmidnight.livejournal.com]

Have you ever tried Coke Beverly from Italy? It's like tasting the way gouging your eyes out feels.

[bartok.livejournal.com]

I've not yet had the "pleasure". Down here we have an awful Red Bull clone called "V" that tastes like feet.

i switched to diet long ago, and pepsi products are my preference, when it comes to brown soda anyway. if i can get it, though, my top choice is diet sprite (or sprite zero, as the label says). it's awesome, and tastes nothing like diet soda, in my mind at least.

some soda companies are even releasing products made from splenda, which taste the best, by far.

Some Leon?

[nihilicious.livejournal.com]

I don't drink pop. But I get the distinct impression that the people at Coke are just trying to off-load some cheap flavoured syrups that they got at a going-out-of-business sale.

... and gives you cancer!

Lemon Coke in North America is being phased out, and being replaced with the Vanilla Black Cherry Carrot Kitchen Sink Motor Oil Twist of Paprika Coke or something.

[c9.livejournal.com]

Wikipedia has interesting history on the Diet colas. Interesting to read where the flavours came from.

[c9.livejournal.com]

Yum! You get the aspartamt AND the acesulfame. Can't beat the realchemical thing!

[c9.livejournal.com]

Never heard of it -- what an excellent brand name though. I'll wait for Coke Cameron.

[c9.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I liked Coke best in my naive youth, but now I have realized that it's actually Pepsi and Diet Pepsi that taste better to me. I still grab Coke regularly though, sometimes due to cost, sometimes due to the lime flavour since lime pepsi is kinda rare around here right now, not sure why.

*shrug* Really, I should dump pop altogether. The sugar makes me fat, the aspartame will give me brain cancer, the sodium will ruin my health, and marketing will detroy my cognitive thought...:-)

[jdhorner.livejournal.com]

LOL.

i would give my right arm to have splenda pepsi lime.

ok, well, not my arm. but i'd tell them that to get them on the ball.

[simplisticton.livejournal.com]

Hey, get with the 21st century. There are more chemicals than that in my breakfast cereal. No, really, there are.

[c9.livejournal.com]

If only I could get direct access to the syrups suppliers, and then I'd be set.

[c9.livejournal.com]

It all depends on which cereal. I hate thinking about what we're eating. When we're 50 and we all have brain tumours, they'll finally figure out that they should have tested and waited a bit more on all this garbage.

[simplisticton.livejournal.com]

Actually, when I want a carbonated beverage, I most often reach for low-sodium soda water. Light, refreshing, and no gut-rot.

[simplisticton.livejournal.com]

The first time I read the ingredients on a loaf of white bread, I almost ralfed. I'm hoping that Zach will grow up actually preferring the taste of whole-wheat. At least, that's what he eats every day :-)

[c9.livejournal.com]

He won't. White bread is basically all sugars, so he'll like that taste better. At least you can treat it like a treat, and use it as a carrot sometimes. :)

[primary-suspect.livejournal.com]

Can't say I have ever gouged my eyes out so can't relate. ;)

[primary-suspect.livejournal.com]

Of course he won't know what he is missing if he doesn't get any white bread. ;)

[bartok.livejournal.com]

like any of us actually knows who that is.

[nihilicious.livejournal.com]

I just Googled for a Leon. It was him, or Ponce de.

[c9.livejournal.com]

This strategy works until the first time Memere makes sandwiches. Be prepared.

[c9.livejournal.com]

I'm not a fan of soda water. Really, I need to just focus on plain old water, that would be far better for me.

[primary-suspect.livejournal.com]

Memere?

[c9.livejournal.com]

Grandma. Maybe Johanne's family doesn't use that term.

On my father's Danish side, it was Bestemore (grandmother) and Oldemore (great-grandmother). There's a lot of nicknames out there.

[primary-suspect.livejournal.com]

Ah, thats what I thought you were getting at but not 100% sure.

Its grand-maman and grand-papa for him.

[c9.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's Acadian. Hmm.

[mightycodking.livejournal.com]

Probably Leon Spinks (retired boxer)

[jpman.livejournal.com]

Out here, they say Meme (with the appripriate accents on teh e's) and Pepe (meymey and peypey, phonetically speaking)

[c9.livejournal.com]

New Brunswick's funny though. There are about five distinct languages in it, despite the official story. :)
