How the hell is this the top selling soft drink in America? Every time I taste coca-cola I think "Yuck! Who the hell drinks this?" I'd rate the taste a 2/10 compared to Dr. Pepper (the 2nd most popular drink) which I'd rate an 8.5/10
>>21089454manufacturing, distribution, technology collaboration, and advertisement. did you really think your OP was somehow a discussion? i hope you die. :DDD
>>21089454I tried drinking a cola recently and holy fuck soda is so sweet it’s sickening. Genuinely do not know how people drink this shit all day long.
>>21089454so true bestie
>>21089454Although I also prefer Dr Pepper, I have a deep appreciate of Coke™ as well.Ice cold sugar cane Coca Cola poured into a glass of ice is just one of the best things we have
>>21089454i know you have autism and this is hard for you to understand, but other people are not you and have different tastes and opinions than yours i know your disorder will make that hard to understand but thats the reason
>>21089513my friend had an oddistic housemate once who would regularly have minor breakdowns trying to comprehend the concept that everyone around him has a mind, and thoughts, and an identity
>>21089518>my friend had an oddistic housemate once who would regularly have minor breakdowns trying to comprehend the concept that everyone around him has a mind, and thoughts, and an identityThat's not autism. That's called having a low IQ. Autism is just a cop out for people that are mentally retarded but self-aware enough to know they are fucked up in the head.
>>21089533I agree it's just another retardation but it presents in extremes so you kind of have to go case by case
>>21089454you just don't understand the sophisticated and pleasurable sensation of drinking a coke. I myself partake in diet coke because it tastes great and I just cannot stand the taste of plain water.
>>21089512patricianthe ice ratio is important as it helps dilute the sweetness. For another great coke experience, mix it with carbonated soda, so that it retains the carbonation but the sweetness is reduced. >I have stock in KO, the beverage company of Earth
>>21089454It was the first Soda ever. Americans didn't know any better and it just ingrained itself into US culture overtime.
>>21090014soft drinks were originally developed by doctors and pharmacists, so it all kinda makes sense
>>21090020Bing bang boom ding ding ding yabba dabbaNotice how this trend of the healthcare/pharmaceutical industry having heavy stakes in food and beverage production continues todayOnly difference is they've realized they make more dinero keeping you sick and don't follow Hippocratic Oath anymore
>>21089454I don't know who the hell pays for this. Coca Cola's prices doubled and sometimes tripled over Covid. It still tastes like industrial floor cleaner with food coloring added.
>>21090020They need to bring back the 1880 formula complete with the 5 ounces of coca leaves per gallon.
>>21089475You should try diluting it with carbonated water.Yuropoor Pepsi Max is too sweet for me and I dilute it with 2/3rds of lemon carbonated water.
>>21089454For me it's ginger ale. It's pretty much a mix of cola or Dr. Pepper and Sprite or Sierra Mist.
>>21089466this, but also something i don't see many people mention is that drinking a lot of sweet stuff regularly, like cola, kind of fucks up your tastebuds from my experienceit gets hard to drink water, because water starts to taste bitter or sour. you actually have to consciously limit your intake and only drink water to recalibrate your palate again. you literally get less inclined to drink water
>>21089466Coca-Cola spends $2 billion to $4 billion every year on advertising.That's what AriZona Beverage Company makes in revenue every year.
>>21089454Wonderful, the dr. pepper ad faggot is back.
>>21089454good 9.5 gay post
>>21089712>also it makes you think the rum you mix it with won't give you diabetesI know this from experience
>>21089454>How the hell is this the top selling soft drink in America?they give it to their babies, they're addicted since birth
>>21093960Polar bear shouldn't give this to their babieshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbA5yBc19Mg
>>21089454Dr. Pepper is superior and hopefully it overtakes coke to become the #1 drink. I'd probably say Mexican coke is best tho
>>21094717Pibb > DrP
I think coke is fine but I can't drink more than maybe half a glass before it starts being too sweet and slimy. I can have maybe 6 oz per month and enjoy it.
