Posts Tagged ‘Coca Cola’

Guess we all know the secret’s out (unless this is some kinda PR campaign).  We’ll see.  I have the recipe now and I’m going to see if it tastes as awful as the Coke they still sell.  Never did like Coca Cola, but that’s none of your concern – or is it?

You may be wondering, though, if I did like soft drinks (and Coke is by no means “soft”), which would it be.  None of them straight up.  Only one I’d slurp was a Root Beer Float.  Gobs of vanilla (or any flavor ice cream) fizzing in Root Beer was about the best treat for me.  If it weren’t for my home-made Figmaniac Froth, I’d be making myself one of those good-time, great tasting floats.  If you want my Froth recipe, give me a holler.

Did you get the Coke recipe, by the way?  If not, I’ll hook you up.  Never know with the world wide web, could have been removed by now.  I’m feeling too lazy to look.  Okay, clicked open that extra window to get it for you.  Here ya go:  http://lat.ms/hoQuy4   Scroll down a bit.

Well, I did predict the Super Bowl winners (not) and I predicted this would be the Year of Leaks http://bit.ly/i8QaH5.

Only time will tell, give it a week or two, before we know if this Coca Coleak is real or if it’s a grand PR scheme to get folks focused on the product.  Something tells me it is… wait…I’ll go check Coke sales versus Pepsi.  Year to date Coke -3.9% and Pepsi -1.5%.  They are trailing!

Fact is, those beverages have seen their day.  With all the hoopla over what’s in ’em, I wouldn’t let my kids drink that @$#P either.  We’re all for smoothies and frothies – and lots of water.

Speaking of smoothies, since there’s been a minor shift in McDonalds’ offering of more healthy foods and smoothies, I stopped by the other day.  Pulled up to the window and asked if there is real fruit in those smoothies.  Seemed the order taker didn’t know, had to ask someone else – who didn’t know.  I said “forget it” and ordered a cinnamon roll – pulled up to pay and thought I’d ask the cashier about the smoothies.  “Is that real fruit in your smoothies?”  Folks, she didn’t know either.  Some things will never change – until they do.

Got home and ate that cinnamon roll – no I didn’t.  I took two bites of it and dropped it in the trash.  Rename necessary:  Sugar rolls with cinnamon down below.

Hope you’re all eating healthy and saving your money to make your own Coke car engine cleaner.  There’s always that silver lining.

Good Day to You.
