Coca Cola was once green.

The only Coca Cola worth getting these days:



/I'm glad Costco keeps their shelves stocked with it.

Surprised they didn't move it to some vault in the Bahamas to shelter themselves from US taxes.

I used to love mixing one part pepsi, one part coke, one part pepsi. Love Boat we used to call it. Those were the days. Getting wet on the Love Boat.

I wonder if they'll put the program from the Ku Klux Klan Day at the State Fair of Texas from October 24th, 1923 into the museum? The Coca Cola Bottling Plant of Dallas advertised in the program.

CSB time..

My friend is a coca cola distributor and had a palate of these and some energy drinks crack and spill onto the concrete. When they finally noticed the mess it had already dissolved the top layer of the floor.

The old formula is what used to make all the kids get crowns...

I swear coke tastes like it has cinnamon in it.

Ah, Coke, so refreshing to the pallet!

This is just tangential enough to the topic at hand to be funny as hell. Well done.

I only get coke from the Detroit/Windsor border.

We are still snobs though. We only drink coke out of those small glass bottles.

You're not just snobs. You're also idiots. The glass bottles are sugar cane formula and taste just like the foreign version. You morons don't even know you like the sugar cane version better, you're just ignorant patriots. Lol you twatwaffles.

It probably does.

Hi, my name is Clint_Torres, I am also addicted to Coca Cola.

farkingismybusiness: I used to love mixing one part pepsi, one part coke, one part pepsi.

Well, since Pepsi is simply one part Coke, three parts pancake syrup, you were drinking a shiat load of pancake syrup.



What your typical Pepsi drinkers might look like.

Not a fan of PCP?

SoothinglyDeranged: Opium, Subby? Really?
Also, they did not put any sort of purified cocaine in Coca Cola. They used Coca leaf extract for flavor which, yes, contained a very small percentage of alkaloid cocaine.

Coke like a lot of fast food places puts small amounts of a methadone like substance in their product. This does not produce a narcotic buzz but creates subtle addiction cravings. This is the cause of the McRib's popularity and the continued existence of Taco Bell.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methadone

Methadone is a Schedule II drug. "Except when dispensed directly by a practitioner, other than a pharmacist, to an ultimate user, no controlled substance in schedule II, which is a prescription drug as determined under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act [21 U.S.C. 301 et seq.], may be dispensed without the written prescription of a practitioner..."

So yeah...

to a different vault

I see what you did there, subby!

'at's what The Colonel puts in his chicken to make you crave it fortnightly!!

This is the kind of thing press releases were created for!

Coke seems to be getting a little more desperate to keep itself in the news lately.

No, You are very much incorrect. Check the labels. Jack Ass.

When I was in junior high school, a girl we all knew told us a story about spilling a bottle of coke on the back seat of her father's car on a family trip. She just blotted it up, didn't really do a good job of cleaning up the mess. The next day, a large hole appeared which seemed to have been burned into the upholstery of the seat. The foam or whatever material that made up the interior of the seat also seemed to be dissolving. The girls dad just happened to the dentist who everyone in the neighborhood went to, and repeated this incident to all our parents, saying if coke did that to a car seat, god only knows what it's doing to teeth. This led to a short lived ban on us kids drinking any kind of sodas.

I don't know if the story the girl told us was the truth. Knowing her and her sister, I suspect they snuck out to the car to smoke a joint and dropped it causing a burn, and used the coke story as a cover up. Then I remembered an article that was in Mad Mag or National Lampoon with really odd, hilarious stories about coke dissolving clothing, furniture, the fur on dogs and cats, Phyllis Diller's face etc. Perhaps that's where she got the idea to blame in on coke. But I still wonder if coke could really cause that kind of damage. After all, MM and NL did have some truth in their articles, and if it can damage concrete, I'm sure it could damage fabric.

madgecko13: I think I'm the only American that finds all soda drinks unpalatable these days. Too freakin' sweet, like drinking pancake syrup. And when I was growing up in the Caribbean I loved the stuff. But back then it definitely wasn't so thick and cloying.

How the hell else will the Vogons fatten us up before harvesting us?

WhyteRaven74: Uh subby? It was cocaine, not opium.

Subby was thinking of Opia Cola.

Well aren't you the farking gourmet...

I'd rather risk potential tooth decay (avoided by good brushing habits)with cane sugar than risk the completely unknown long term effects of HFCS. Plus sugar tastes better and is cheaper now that corn is nearly $8/bushel.

Any flavorist worth their pay would be able to recreate Coke. Not necessarily with the same ingredients, but it would taste exactly the same.

I like Cherry Coke.

There, I said it.

Are we sure it's in the vault? And that it's even the right recipe if it is?

It's Schrödinger's Coke Recipe ;)

i can only drink coke if it is absolutely ice cold. as soon as it starts getting even remotely warm, it tastes like i'm drinking pure acid. warm pepsi tastes like crap, but i can drink it. i switched over to diet pepsi several years ago and i drink about 100 bottles a day of the stuff. regular pepsi tastes too much like syrup to me now.

From Wiki:

This American Life recipe
On February 11, 2011, Ira Glass revealed on his PRI radio show, This American Life, that the secret formula to Coca-Cola had been uncovered in "Everett Beal's Recipe Book," reproduced in the February 28, 1979, issue of the The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The formula found basically matched the formula found in Pemberton's diary.[16][17][18] The recipe revealed contains:[19]
Fluid extract of Coca: 3 drams USP
Citric acid: 3 oz
Caffeine: 1 oz
Sugar: 30 lbs
Water: 2.5 gal
Lime juice: 2 pints (1 quart)
Vanilla: 1 oz
Caramel: 1.5 oz or more for color
The secret 7X flavor (use 2 oz of flavor to 5 gals syrup):
Orange oil: 20 drops
Cinnamon oil: 10 drops
Lemon oil: 30 drops
Coriander oil: 5 drops
Nutmeg oil: 10 drops
Neroli oil: 10 drops


This lines up closely with the chemical analysis in William Poundstone's book "Big Secrets" (which I can't find at the moment), and other accountings of the formula. Can't vouch for any, of course, but it seems reasonable if they're in such accord.



I dont think you could get 30 lbs of sugar to dissolve in 2.5 gals of water. It would be more like a paste than a beverage.

Sid_6.7: or both

To be fair, the floor WAS made of ice cream.

You mix the syrup with carbonated water to thin it out.

I can't tell the difference between generic and Coca Cola. I can tell the difference between Pepsi and Coke if I'm intentionally trying to. I hate that throwback crap and I'm not sure why. I have used soda to dissolve rust deposits and it actually works, but it's not just coke, it seems to be virtually any soda and I don't know or care why it works, because it doesn't actually work that well and leaves a horrible mess anyway. People who biatch about the taste or health impact of high fructose corn syrup are dumb.

That's pretty much everything I can think of that I might have to say about soda in any given scenario. Or "pop" if you're insane.

/ oh god, the corn lobby is in my braaaaaiiiinnnnnn

Hey, guys! I enjoy New Coke!
