Coke BlackFollow

I'm in Portland OR, and as I said, I have seen many commercials for it, and I watch less than 1 hour of t.v. a day.

Probably it has to do more with the programming and times than with the region.

didnt for me. But then again it seems Im immune to massive quantities of caffeine anyways

Alright - so, this stuff is remarkably good!

If it weren't for the 5.99 price tag for a four pack and the horribly small bottles I might have found my new caffine of choice but it'll have to be a special treat. This is really exactly it. The stuff is great!

edit: and it turns out it's "coke blak", meh.

Okay, so I bought some during the weekly grocery run tonight. Is chilling in the fridge right now, will try it tomorrow.

I agree that it's ungodly expensive. The 4-pack was on "sale" for about $4.50 + deposit, regular price is about $6.20. Admittedly, this is at the local Thriftway, which is anything but "thifty", so that might have inflated the price a bit. Groceries which cost us $150 at Bales Thriftway would cost us between $100-120 if we bought the same items at WinCo. WinCo's produce is sh[/black]ite, though, and it's much farther away, so we tend to swallow the extra cost for the sake of convenience.

I'm apprehensive, however, because I'm a very, VERY big Coke purist. It's a family thing, all my relatives tend to fall into the "Coke Classic, straight up, don't you dare fu[black]ck with it" category. I'm not as bad as my aunt, who actually has a RITUAL for pouring her Coke so as to minimize the loss of carbonation, i.e. rinse the glass, pour the Coke SLOWLY down the side of the glass, rinse the ice cubes and add them carefully into the Coke so as not to make it fizz. That particular ritual has gotten so convoluted that the rest of us refuse to get her a Coke anymore, she has to prepare it herself. However, I have been known to "grade" various sources of Coke, i.e. fountain > 20 oz. bottle > 2L bottle > can, and for fountain Coke, McDonald's > Wendy's > Burger King > 7-Eleven. Also discovered the reason why burgers/fries and Coke seem to go hand-in-hand so often: Coke tastes better (in my lexicon, better = "zingier/spicier/not as sweet or syrupy") when you're eating something salty than when you're not. Seriously, next time your Coke seems a bit flat on the first sip, try eating a French Fry and then take another sip.

So, I remain a bit skeptical, but will report tomorrow on the results of the experiment.

Ever shake salt into a carbonated beverage and see the effect?

Was always a good dorm prank.



Okay, that's a little nuts.

Although, apparently my great grandfather had a beer mug which was only to be rinsed out, never washed with soap. Because the soap leaves a permanent film on the glass that prevents a proper head from forming.
