Coca Cola Rant

[augiedoggie]

Wow, the cost is amazing if one wants the small (normal in my day) 6.8 OZ bottles. It's $4 for 6 bottles whereas it's a buck a liter otherwise. You know what? Darn waste of money IMO! Buy the big boys and throw them out after use! I'll never taste the real stuff again!

I got tired of paying alot too so I got use to the ghetto brand(but pretty much the same) like mountain dew (I drink mountain holler or whatever it is) its 95 cents for 2 liter when you go pay alot for 12 pk or more.

Hmm, ya I guess though water and vodka don't mix well.

I can't live without Coke. I'm pretty sure I go through withdrawal when I don't have it.

I buy the twelve packs of cans. I also buy it on sale, so usually it's $2.99 for a box. That's 24¢ a can. I think that's pretty good.

Reading that last post just made me think of a old friend I had back in school. And it was a poor family as well. But his dad just drank cola all day and night. Never no water, no juices or anything.. Just cola.. and he would drink no crapping ya, atleast 7-8 colo 2 liters a day. And we use to have to go to dollar general to get em

Between the phosphoric acid eating your teeth, and the ungodly amounts of sugar in the form of corn syrup, I quit drinking soda a long time ago. Haven't really missed it. Now, when I do have soda out of necessity, it's like drinking pure syrup. Diet colas are no better.

Just my two cents.

Theres stuff I've tried from some friends house.. and there stuff is so nasty I don't drink it. I don't know if anyone in us had diet riot? I rather drink

I drink one a day. Sometimes I look at the crap people are eating and then look at their bottle of water and go . There's a lot worse out there than a can of soda.

(As I'm eating my Puffed Cheese Balls) What could possibly be worse?

I get shaws cola 3 liters for $.79

I used to drink a about half or full 2 liter bottle a day (depends on how busy I was)when I was a teen.

but 8? WTF

I cant enjoy water unless I am really really thirsty or dehydrating. I still drink it though.

I mainly drink water. But nothing goes better with Rum than Coke! We have a Coke museum nearby, rumor is you can get Cokes for 5 cents. Been a while since I went.

Thank the Lord us Brits never invented that stuff. From Satan's very own bladder, I tell ya. Vile stuff. It's worse than Dr Pepper but not as bad as Pepsi. Why does American pop taste crap, but Irn Bru (brewed in Scotland from girders) tastes like the morning dew from a freshly flowered rose? But with caffeine. And bags of chemically produced E numbers to keep the kids alert.....

!!! You certainly are.

You actually put them in a bowl? I didn't think they tasted right unless you eat 'em out of the bag.

Oh, wait, nm....I just saw you have a little coaster for your water bottle too.

PS...why do you have pennies on your keyboad?

[silas]

I was going ask about the pennys to. But I assume maybe a game? I see people put things on keyboards for a way to help during a game.

The Cheese Balls came in this HUGE barrel of a container, besides, if I snacked from that --- oh, my!

Did you notice the screen?

They are not pennies, they are metal glue on thingies that held a joystick like device (by magnets in the joystick thingie) that covered the arrow keys. Because this keyboard and computer it came with are over 6 yrs. old now, they got a little rusty, but still are glued on tight. I don't know what happened to the joystick thingy (technical, aren't I!), it didn't work well I remember, but was a good thought.

Is that a 1080p-capable monitor, Duke?

Unfortunately, no. This monitor of mine is probably 7 yrs. old now, has only the VGA PC input, and is starting to have wavy lines fluttering on screen, though you have to look really close to see it.

Got this from Best Buy for $99, it was the display model for the store and it came with all the cables, I was so happy. I promptly hooked it up to my kid's computer and it rocks! I have to get another for myself. Now that's a monitor to over!
