My latest unwise and probably regrettable daytime drinking obsession: Coke bombs.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

Basically, it's coffee infused with Coke (actually Coke Zero....going no cal).

And it's predictably disgusting. What I get is a foamy, bitter lukewarm swill that I have to cringe when I drink it down. It brings neither the best of the coffee nor the best of the Coke to the table.

But in terms of a nearly instant caffeine kick, there's nothing better. It absolutely kills the mid-afternoon lull and has me doing what needs to be done.

But yeah, it's so gross. And I don't know why I am so obsessed with it lately.

True fact: About 10 years ago, Coke actually officially marketed the product and sold it as Coke Blak.



From what I recall about it, it didn't taste much better than the impromptu swill I mash up in the office.

Jeezz - watch that heart and blood pressure thing. Not kiddin' - it'll sneak up on you and floor you one day.

2. My usual vehicle for Red Bull is a Diet Coke.

Open a 16 oz Diet Coke, drink it down, and partially replace w/Red Bull. Repeat until RB all gone.

I haven't done a lot of long-distance driving lately, but when I did, those really helped.

Is a Coke bomb preferable to Jolt Cola, other than for the (lack of) sugar content ?

with full sugar Coke.
