Where to buy full fat coke?!

I never drink coke - hate the stuff - and OH and his daughter drink diet coke.

However I have a friend coming for the weekend who I know likes to drink full fat coke (and is still a size 6, damn her!) and always ends up drinking just water when she comes round as I have lots of diet drinks and nothing she likes.

I am doing an online grocery shop and decided to get some 'normal' coke, so she can drink some when she is here and then I can use the leftover cans to make ham in coke, which I have always liked the sound of.

It's Sainsbury's online and they have two full pages of 'coke' products - but NO 'normal' or full fat coke! only diet coke, coke zero, etc. Even the Sainsbury's own brand stuff is all diet.

I am so confused...have they stopped making it?! what is going on here?!

    Hi daisiegg - I had this problem with Sainsbury's online recently and then realised that you have to search for Coca Cola, not coke!

    Either that or try navigating through the menu's (so go to the drinks tab across the top of the page, select 'carbonated drinks' from the menu that appears etc)

    hope that helps

    Not referring to you OP, but the term "full fat Coke" started as a joke; however from experience, I think it has becoming a confusing term to some people now.

    Hi,

    I've just had a look, try typing in 'coca cola', I'm guessing its the original type in the red can that you want. I don't think its termed as full fat.

    ETA - oops, beaten to it!

    Maybe it's just my local store because honestly, I am in the coca cola 'aisle' on the website, looking at all the coca cola related products they sell and they are ALL diet or a variation thereof! searching for 'coke', 'coca cola' etc doesn't make any difference. I haven't been searching for the term 'full fat' btw, I was just describing it as that in my post to distinguish it from 'diet'.

    Must be the store my online delivery comes from - weird! too many skinny minny yummy mummies in my area ! ;)
