Have A Coke Day!

Posted: Thu May 8, '08, 1:29 pm

Today, May 8, is " Have a coke day "! :clap:

So, is there anyone out there who does NOT like a coke? :blank:

I think this must be one of the most popular drinks ever and certainly one of the most recognizable ones practically anywhere in the world today.

Sounds like a great day to me! (And as difficult as this day has been so far, I could really use a stiff drink right now, lol).

So, pardon me, while I go and " celebrate " this day and " have a coke ". :hyper:

Personally me, I liked vanilla coke. However I don't think they make it nenymore and stuff which makes me sad. I really want one right now. :cry:

Does anyone else find it ironic that, as your virtual character gains experience, wealth and social stature;
Your reality character is losing the exact same things at the same rate?

Beauty exists so that someone can tarnish it...
Love exists to be lost...
Innocence exists to be stolen...
Souls exist to be corrupted...

After one of my teeth dissolved while sipping coke, I don't think I'll ever drink it again. Its too bubbly, and soda isn't soda when you let the fizz go out.

You represent... apathy.You don't really show any emotion. You can be considered cruel and cold, but you just don't really care about anything. This is just the way you are... you're quite a challenge to get close to, and others may perceive you as boring.
Zeus was the Greek excuse for having no logical explination for lightning. Hades was for the death that baffled them. Posiedon tore apart at their shores. So Athena must have explained the people who didn't believe in the gods.

I wish it was Have a Pepsi day or Have a Dr. Pepper Day or Have a 7 up day. Coke is too sweet.

american coke is disgusting. in europe (and i'm sure other places), coke isn't made with corn syrup, but with actual sugar. this makes it taste a lot less thick and a lot more like an actual drink.

from wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coca-Cola):
There is also some concern regarding the usage of high fructose corn syrup in the production of Coca-Cola. Since 1985 in the U.S., Coke has been made with high fructose corn syrup, instead of sugar glucose or fructose, to reduce costs. This has come under criticism because of concerns that the corn used to produce corn syrup may come from genetically altered plants.[52] Some nutritionists also caution against consumption of high fructose corn syrup because of possible links to obesity and type-2 diabetes.[53]

the eu also has a lot stricter laws on what people consume, another reason why the recipe is changed. just saying.

luke, believe it or not, I actually remember when they started making Coke different, and it tasted a WHOLE HECK OF A LOT BETTER then than it does now. The other way may not have been so good or healthy for everyone, but it sure tasted better, atleast in my opinion.
