“Coke Zero 40 ounce” – now those would make a heck of a game of Edward 40-hands.

I’ve been buying Mountain Dew tallboys for the last couple of weeks and just bought the last one at the store I go to every morning. That makes me sad.

Those of you hoping for sugar sweetened soda, there is Pepsi Throwback which has made its way to our shelves at least (though i’m on board with the Coke Zero crew – though bottled, not canned, as I don’t like the can taste and/or mix) and has real sugar in it. I think Coke was doing something similar but not sure if it ever made it out of the concept/testing stage.

Die happy? If you keep drinking that toxic waste you’ll certainly die early, but I dunno how happy about it you’ll be.

It doesn’t take much to make you happy, does it?

With that much caffiene, you’ll still be upright and dancing even if you die.

I probably missed out on that (*sigh*) — somewhere around here I have a Gift Certificate for Coca-Cola addressed to the parents of “Baby Fitch” (they had problems agreeing on a name for me) and dated 1928. They were thrifty people, and presumably would’ve used it if they’d accepted the advertising idea that Coca-Cola (containing a bit of cocaine) was good medicine for babies. (Mind you, I now have a mild preference for Classic Coke, especially for the form of it that doesn’t use corn syrup.)

Also, can I get a shoutout for Canfield’s Diet Chocolate Fudge Soda?

24 – if you have any Hispanic-oriented supermarkets in your area they probably carry Mexican Coke and/or Pepsi. Glass bottle, cane sugar, it’s 1985 all over again! And if you do find such a store, may I recommend trying out the Jarritos and Sangria Señorial brands as well? If (non-alcoholic) wine flavored soda is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

But then again I like liver and onions, Vegemite and Brussels sprouts, so my judgment is pretty suspect already.
