Yes, 106 octane.

Figures.

I didn't have a knock or a ping when I drank it.

No, I'm a hybrid.
If I say it enough, others will believe it.

I used to drink Jolt cola.
That and a bag of skittles, and I was up for 5 hours past my bedtime.
Double the sugar double the caffeine.
I remember David Letterman drinking 2 of those on air, and by the end of the show he was a chatty Cathy that couldn't sit still.

Legalized dope.

Coke is no.1 for me too, but as a Carolina girl, I also have to put in a vote for Cheerwine! SO GOOD.

I mainly drink coffee, water or tea, but if I have a coca-cola, it's a Cheerwine.

Depends on the thinness of the mixture as it passes through your carburetor.

Now I stick to 1 Guinness Extra Stout per night, or 1 glass of wine.
Drinking more doesn't really benefit me in any way.
20yrs ago when I'd drink a lot of things "on the rocks?"
I'd be down for days if I tried that now.
Especially 18 beers in 1 sitting. :eeek:

 

[Vera Godfrey]

I used to drink Jolt too.

I cut back on my soda drinking and will now have a ginger ale every once in awhile (instead of my three-four Coke a day habit).

You’re a piker! Andre the Giant could drink 119 beers in 6 hours. Man up now.

 

[Gregg Axley]

Yeah something up but it wouldn't be man up.
Back to soft drinks.
I really like the Coke zero products, my favorite lately being the Cherry Coke Zero, but limit myself to one a day.
Well I can't drink tea ALL day.
I know....a Southerner that doesn't drink iced tea all day, AND puts artificial sweetener in it instead of a cup or two of sugar???
That's blasphemy. I'm liable to my honorary Lynyrd Skynyrd collection taken from me by force of a double barrel shotgun. :eeek:

Feet up.
Cactus Cooler is my weakness. When I used to work for Coca Cola I gravitated toward that. I also had a chance to taste the cokes made for different countries. Japan was the weirdest with a ginger taste to it. lol lol lol

*yucky* Ginger Coke?
Cactus Cooler, I'll have to look that up.
I've always been a Coke man, although as a kid all we had was Shasta.
And since they didn't make "sugar free" back then, a hyperactive kid didn't need one of those, unless you wanted to supercharge him.
Cherry Coke is good, vanilla is just weird, and lime was down right awful.
Might as well tried banana too. :eusa_doh:
Of course Cherry Coke was around a long time ago, but the others thankfully were not.
The funny flavors came about (I assume) when Pepsi Lite came out in the early 80's.
It had lemon in it. While not bad, it wasn't what I'd call my first choice in the fridge.
Somewhere in the 80's a scientist at Coke decided to monkey with perfection.
First they dropped sugar for corn syrup, then the funny flavors came out.
Should have drug him behind a Coke truck for miles for that.
Even Faygo would be better in some cases.

I never said it was good. All I said was that is was gingery.
Cactus Cooler is specific to the South west---at least it was when I worked there. I could get it because we made it. I can get it now but weirdly only at Walmart.
I was never a huge Coke fan but the Mexican stuff isn’t bad.
The new stuff did stink.

 

[Vera Godfrey]

I love a real vanilla coke. Not that crap that they sell in the store. I'm the same with cherry coke. Give me the real stuff over what they sell in the store any day!

General Sternwood (in The Big Sleep) said his favorite drink was champagne as cold as Valley Forge on top of 2 or 3 ponies of brandy.

Jesus. Ice cold champagne on top of brandy. No wonder the old ba***rd was paralyzed.

 

[Fibber Mcgee]

I love Moxie. But its an acquired taste.
