Not everyone's real life is like that!
I have maybe one glass of wine a week, occasionally two.
I would never drink a Coke, think it tastes disgusting (and it's full of sugar)! Same with all fizzy drinks - I stick to water and the occasional tea.
Nobody in my world goes on about wine all the time.

Sitting in my car, drinking coke. After the first couple mouthfuls I'm not that keen on the taste and by the bottom of the can it tastes like syrup. It also makes me feel sick. Still drinking it. It's definitely an addiction because I don't seem to enjoy that much!

Does anyone else dislike the Coke bottles with the names on? I have a name that will never be on a Coke bottle, but worse, when I get one as part of a Boots meal deal there often only men's names left. I feel odd drinking out of a bottle that says Christopher.

I've not seen them, but I wrote a short item about them last summer - there was a "tour" round some events where you could have any name printed on the bottle.

There was a surf festival, say, in Cornwall, where they took a special machine and people attending could get a free bottle with any name printed on it on the spot.

You could also order a bottle with your name on, online. Probably finished now.... website says it's coming soon (could be lying) http://www.mycoke.com/gb/

You can find out "who has got your name on their bottle" by doing a name search here: https://sac.cokezone.com/uk/en/print

They have some weird and wonderful names on the bottles here. I saw a Piotr, which my BFF's cousin and I even bought and dropped Kris into the man that sells me tiles as I thought he wouldn't have seen it. It put a smile on his face.

My problem is that I buy them for people I know! It's expensive.

I want glass bottles with my whole family's names on now, PN!

If it were the bottles (or glasses) with Coca-Cola written in the glass itself and you could have your name in the glass in the same font then I would be interested.

Apparently my name is out there, whatever that means.

Get some old jars and a stencil set and some paint and practice.... then, when good enough ..... get some Coke bottles and make your own

It means they produced a bottle with your name on it ... and it's in a shop ... and somebody might buy it randomly (like Viva bought Christopher) .... and they might have lobbed it in the bin after that, or you might be able to check the map and see where it was bought if the person was motivated enough to register it.

I suspect ... you and I, and most of us here, are probably too old to really care though

My name is not out there.... it's an odd 'un.

There's probably money to be made, if lucky, buying them and flogging them on ebay.
