    when my dad was alive he used to tell me about growing up in glasgow and they used to put ablack sweet Called sugar olly( not sure if that is the correct spelling) in a bottle of water and shake it till it went black because they could not afford coke when ever he drunk cheap cola he always used to pull a face and say ergh!! sugarolly water. thats probably why i only like real coke.

    Its a pity they can't design something to keep the fizz in eg a double sided bottle. When you look at the cost of the product eg a 500ml bottle against a 2lt bottle

    nothing beets a nice cold diet IRN BRU. But if i had to it would be diet pepsi.
    As for the fizz thing i once heard that if you leave the lid off it will stay fizzy longer as you are not repeatedly opening and closing the bottle

    12 tins of pepsi, farmfoods, £2.

    personally, nothing can resemble coke. its like cheap versions of irn bru - it contains a secret ingrediant and nobody can remake it

    Diet products are killers ................ a recent study by a Italian lab showed diet Coke and other diet products containing ASPARTAME cause LEUKAEMIA's. Read it at http://www.dorway.com/cancer_study1.html

    ASPARTAME was invented as an anti-ulcer drug, but was found to be useless so some dodgy trials later in which monkies given aspartame died of cancer a and then were made to come back to life and DONALD RUMSFELD who was a CEO of Searle (which invented the drug) called in some favours to get it approved, even though it was a killer. This guy does not mind killing women and children, after all he helped kill many thousands of Iraqi children so he sure as hell does not care about yours!!!
