what a mess!

[racx_00]

in Australia we didnt get the Coke brand of water

[Say]

we didnt get it here in vzla either... and now im seriously glad we didnt

[racx_00]

I am also glad

[Say]

but seriously, isnt it a bit spooky? consider it, if big companies cant even be trusted on releasing these food products (first hand need as water) what there may be left for the rest? you know, as a consumer myself it worries me baaadly, because you tend to trust brand, and these sort of things make you wonder and doubt it all again.

[racx_00]

Yeah , it is pretty scary , i try not to think about it , but when you have had something to do with the company in the past it makes you wonder about other products of theirs

[Say]

omg... ew!

and this is not even talking about quality, we are talking about normal standarts lol oh my, personally I would have expected something like this from a newb in the market, but from Coke it is shocking alright, exactly cuz you asume you trust them, and exactly what you said, it does makes you wonder about the quality of their other products

and I mean it, I liked coke a lot lol  

[racx_00]

if ur really afraid about drinking Coke then just drink Pepsi instead

but ill stick to Vinilla Coke

[Say]

Vanilla Coke has.... quite a curious taste , its not bad but I wouldnt drink it much

[racx_00]

I love Vinilla Coke

Cherry Coke rules  

[racx_00]

Cherry Coke tastes like normal Coke

[Drunken Chinchilla]

That is where you are wrong my friend Cherry Coke has a nice after taste of marzepan/almonds...hehe kinda of wierd considering its meant to be cherry.

[Jeysie]

I don't drink Coke *or* Pepsi. I can't stand the taste of cola. I'm a root beer girl.

Peace & Luv, Liz

Urrrggghhh I tasted root beer Jelly-belly jelly beans the other day and I felt physically sick! I hope the real thing doesn't taste as nasty. Is it comparable to any other flavour or is it totally unique?

[Jeysie]

Honestly, I'm not quite sure how to describe the flavor. It's a bit on the tart side (which is where the slogan " Barq's has bite!" comes from, if you've ever heard that one), but I'm not certain what to say about it outside of that.

It is possible that it just may not suit your palate, just like cola doesn't suit mine. I've always found cola to be too bitter for my tastes.

Peace & Luv, Liz

supposedly the fluoride helps protect your teeth so you should drink it a bit more than bottled water , thats what they said on the news in Australia

Not when you take in too much flouride, because in that case it may well be it damages your teeth even further.

[quote author=Storm link=board=10;threadid=902;start=40#msg26366 date=1080177316We mostly get domestic brands, and they're all supposedly "natural spring water" and not filtered tap water  

'Spa' is natural spring water, from the 'Spa'-source. And, AFAIK, Spa is not an affiliate of the Coca Cola group.

How can fluorine damage your teeth?  

[racx_00]

Yeah how can fluoride damage teeth

[Drunken Chinchilla]

It depends on how much they put in the water I think. Like everything else in the world too much flouride has nasty effect on teeth and bones although I'm not sure of the specifics. We have flouride here and its caused no problems for e, in fact I'm proud of my teeth.

Ginger Ale for me!
