Question on BBE on fizzy drinks - answered :)

MrsDrink

See post 2 for answer.

Would anyone with a fresh bottle of coke/lemonade please tell me the best before on them? I've been buying my alcohol for our party - and will be buying the final bits next weekend. I'm wondering whether to get the fizzy stuff as well or whether I should wait even closer to our date. (I've budgeted to get the lot out of March's pay).

I've got a bottle of coke sitting next to me that I bought last month which has August 2012 on it

I've never even thought about the best before date on them before!

Brill!! Means I can get everything ordered and it's one less thing to think about.


Incase anyone is interested, through buying our alcohol/soft drinks on offers etc I've managed to get us the following for £378.51, saving us £168.30 on supermarket prices :

6 bottles of Echo Falls Merlot 75cl
12 bottles of Echo Falls Chardoney 75cl
12 bottles of Echo Falls White Zinfandel 75cl
12 bottles of Echo Falls Pinot Grigio 75cl
8 bottles Bulmers Original Cider 568ml
16 Bottles Magners Irish Cider 568ml
16 Bottles Magners Pear Cider 568ml
8 Bottles Bulmers Pear Cider 568ml
20 bottles peroni 330ml
36 bottles corona 330ml
20 bottles of tuborg 275ml
30 bottles of stella 284ml
24 bottles of grolsch 275ml
24 bottles of becks 275ml
32 cans of carling 440ml
18L Diet Coke
18L Coke
16L Lemonade
16L Lemonade
1.75L Orange Double Concentrate
1.75L Blackcurrent and Apple Double Concentrate

Which according to my calculations will give us 412 alcoholic servings and 508 non alcoholic servings
Absolutely plenty for our 53 guests :rotfl:. (But I'd rather have loads left over than running dry and having to send someone to the corner shop to buy more at extortionate prices!)
