I always found them a bit sickly.
I tried some Moxi and quite liked that, it's liked an Italian soft drink.

Never heard of Jones Soda, nor do I recognise the styling. However...

*goes to investigate Coke*

Alas we finally drove you to drugs, I start with maryjane it's a better gateway drug.

Well, the ingredients on my Coke bottles just state 'sugar'. All I know is that US Coke is vile, vile stuff that has no fizz whatsoever and tastes like the devil's urine which is Pepsi.

British Coke, however, is amazing.

Oh, and it's relatively easy to get Coke in glass bottles here. Is it that hard in the States?

I assume the stuff here would list high fructose corn syrup on the label instead of sugar.

You might be able to find a few of those tiny glass bottles in stores, but I haven't seen the 16-ounce, returnable glass bottles in years. The Mexican ones are pretty much the same, but the majority of our soft drinks are sold in plastic bottles or cans.

That'll be the corn syrup it's horrible.

It's weird people buying expensive American sodas from Cybercandy when they all taste crap.
Except the French ones and Moxi.

Ah, interesting, interesting. The vast, vaaaaaaasty majority of stuff here is plastic too, but Coke still produce the good old Contour bottle, and it can be found in most reasonably sized supermarkets (they actually do it in two sizes - standard, and I'd guess around 2/3).

Was just wondering about the New Coke as, obviously, I've never knowingly tasted it. And there being such a difference between ours and yours...

Glass bottles are a con, you pay double so they can give you a reusable bottle they get a deposit back on.
Why am I writing so passionatley about soft drinks?
I depress myself some of the time.

Along with Quatro, Orange Coke, original Fresca....you never will.
Not without a Tardis.

Here they return the deposit when you return the bottles. The old Coke bottles were worth 10 cents 30 years ago, so many kids supplemented their allowances with bottles from ditches and roadsides.

Orange Coke. Now that was a whole NEW level of vile. Sick

Oh that was bad. Also Vanilla Coke.

Sick

And that lemon one they did.

The one I drink now is the Citrus one. But I didn't like the Lemon one and the Lime ones they did before.

I expect they'll stop doing this one soon. Then I'll be buggered.

Citrus? Weird!

Vanilla Coke was untolerably sickly sweet. I'm sure we've all had a Coke float, but f**k me, prepared like that it was just undrinkable.

Cherry is the tops though.
