New Coke or Traditional?

[BluesRunTheGame]

Not sure what made me think of this today.

[2naSalit]

1. Depends on...

Which one tastes better with whiskey or rum.

[BluesRunTheGame]

2. If you use enough whiskey or rum it probably doesn't matter.

[2naSalit]

17. Probably true.

In the 90s, and outright discontinued in 2002.

[Elessar Zappa]

8. Never tried New Coke.

I’m not sure I was alive when it was out, at least I don’t remember it. But I like traditional Coke so I can’t imagine the new version being any better.

26. It was awful.nt

[JPPaverage]

9. Quit coke years ago

Oh wait...you may be referring to the soft drink.
Sorry, I just couldn't resist.

10. give me Diet, or give me death....

I can't stand the cloying sweetness of regular Coke. That said, I only ever drink cola when we eat out, and we don't do that often. I drink maybe one or two glasses a month, max.

11. Dr. Pepper nt

13. Actually, I can't drink Coke anymore, so it's water for me.

[hay rick]

14. Coke4. Not that I can tell the difference.

[Archae]

16. No coke. Sprecher's maple root beer or 1910.

[northoftheborder]

18. Mexican bottled Coke....

…uses cane sugar instead of corn syrup now used in US. I don’t know what “new coke” is but the original US Coke used cane sugar.. I much prefer it when a Mexican Coke is available.

[Archae]

19. I agree about sugar vs corn syrup.

I detest that corn syrup crap.

[rickford66]

20. Goes great with my rum

The only thing better would be the city of origin on the bottom of the bottle. When we were kids, we wanted to see how far away the bottle came from. Of course this was back when they were reused and tended to migrate over time.

[Iggo]

21. Mexican Coke is the correct answer. (n/t)

[fierywoman]

22. Neither. San Pellegrino for a treat.

[Celerity]

24. Macedonian Coke from the Skopje Brewery

25. Mexican Coke. Tastes like the Coke from my childhood

Made with cane sugar, not HFCS. So. Good. Lucky to live in Texas where it is readily available.

I do not drink carbonated beverages very often any more, other than Topo Chico, but if I drink a Coke it will be Mexican

[ailsagirl]

27. I know coke is unhealthy...

so I don't drink it anymore. It's difficult when it's a hot summer day and I'm wanting something cold to drink, but I have been drinking cold water instead. The amount of
sugar even in those smaller cans, is considerable.

28. All plastic bottlers should to be forced to clean up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch

29. Which one is the liquid

and which one is the powder?
