Default Personal Observations

Hello MCFs members.

I hope no one minds my posting this, but all have vices in life and I'm no different. I don't drink alcohol, smoke, do drugs so I've got to have something?
(Son Of A B---, I left my f--ing lighter w/roach clip in the f--ing bar last night. MF!!!)

Recently I've noticed pop (soda, coke, soda pop) has a bad taste to it? Is it now made in China like eveything else?

I mean it doesn't matter where you go, the stuff taste nasty.

If you leave some left in the bottle till the next day, it's even worse.

Did someone cheapen the formula of all carbonated soft drinks????

Yeah but I mean no matter what it's out of?

Cans, bottles, even a soda fountain. It taste like..... YUCK!!!

And Space, I can't see any difference what I ate before I took a drink it's still bad.

Coke is What ?
For a long time, the reason to drink Diet Coke was "Just for the Taste of It." Things are a lot more complex these days as Coke marketers parse demographic segments and create drinks for each niche. There's now a new Diet Coke sweetened with Splenda and Coca-Cola Zero, which, as its name implies, has zero calories -- as opposed to the regular and Splenda versions of Diet Coke, both of which have, um, zero calories. And then there's still Coke's original no-cal cola, Tab. All of which leads to some very creative marketing-speak.

Yeah, I'm a 7Up man. Pissed me off when they went to that 'natural' formula. Doesn't have that great 'bite' anymore.

I'm friends with a guy who drives for Pepsi. I should ask him what the deal is with soft drinks?

From what I have heard,(a local talk show on the radio) they are not using regular sugar anymore, it is all the new sweetners thay now use that has changed the taste.

well i gave up soda's almost a year ago. drink nothing but water and milk now, maybe a sweet tea every couple of months. i'm pretty young, only 17, but i've never really noticed a difference in my old mountain dews... but if you want it to have kick again, lay off of it them for a couple of months, then when you're stuck in a restaurant with bad water and no tea, order a coke. WOW there strong...
