Okay - I'll ask the question first Where from ?

My local Farmfoods has had the offer on for a long time, normal price in Asda or Tesco is £9 but quite frequently they are reduced to £5 here too.

Are the different sizes filled in different factories? I ask because I can taste a definite difference between the 1 litre bottles and the larger bottles, maybe it's the water source?

I think different factories, make different sizes. I know what you mean, a 2 litre bottle doesn't taste as good as a 1 litre. A can doesn't taste as good as a glass bottle. Must be water quality, as the concentrate gets imported from USA to each plant. Was a good Documentary about Coke on you tube.


As for the new bottle staying fizzy longer, don't know how, but have had a new bottle in fridge, since last Thursday and opened, came home last night, opened it and still as fizzy as when opened ! Why are Champagne bottles shaped as they are?

I can feel my teeth rotting away just thinking about drinking Coca-Cola.

I don't touch the stuff.

If it was that bad for our health they wouldn't sell it & would ban it all together.

They still sell cigarettes.

Why are these myths still applicable in this day and age? Do you really sit there with a mouthful of coke swishing it around your teeth all day?

I wouldn't drink the stuff anyway, if it can take the tarnish off silver, god knows what its doing to your system.

Wonder what stomach acid does to tarnished silver?

Still not good for the teeth.

I run on caffine and there's no kettles when you work mobile.

2 litres of diet/max/zero coke/pepsi gets me through a day on the road, tried it with a 1.75 yesterday and I didn't get finished.

Luckily Pepsi haven't started doing this yet, although the supermarkets seem to have inflated the Pepsi prices to make you buy coke instead.

Pepsi's normally a quid or 2 for £2 in at least one of the discounters, failing that, pound shops, home bargains, etc.

Yes, I am an addict. But I'd rather be hooked on diet coke than alcohol/fags/drugs.

Coca Cola tastes best when ice cold, out of an original glass contour bottle - preferably in a foreign country when on a lovely holiday.

Fanta is brighter orange and tastes better then too!
