Is there anything better than the "throat burn" from Coca cola? (vodka, crab)

Pepsi now has cans labeled "Pepsi with real sugar".

HEB supermarkets in south Texas even have their store brand of cola in the cane sugar version, cheaper than HFCS Coca Cola

Fountain
Can
plastic bottle
Glass bottle?

Please let me know..thanks



















Can

I even saved my first Coke can for few years . We called it "tin"

Ice cold Coca-Cola in a 7.5 ounce can is the perfect treat. Especially good with Mexican food or Indian food.



Not on an empty stomach, and not over ice, because it dilutes the awesome flavor and burn.

I only indulge about one a week.

I love the Mexican version, too, but the serving is too big.

Incidentally, I can totally tell the difference between Coca-Cola and Pepsi BY SMELL.

And no, I don't drink any soda at all and never have. Soda intake is more strongly linked to developing Type 2 diabetes than even sugar. EVEN SUGARLESS SODA. Not to mention what it does to your teeth.

Do you think the researchers cared to look at all the food with sugar these people thought was perfectly OK to consume, simply because they were drinking diet soda?

I don’t mind the throat burn, however now that I have a stomach ulcer I can’t handle it as much as I used to. If I were to chug a canned Coke on an empty stomach now it would bring me to my knees.

Fountain drinks are my favorite now, much smoother.

Yes, there is--the "throat burn" from Dr Pepper.

Interesting. I thought the same thing about Pepsi.

No throat burn for me, it tingles a little but that's about it. I guess after 50 years my throat is used to it. Gonna have to find a Mexican Coke next! Hope I don't get addicted. I'm sure it's not cheap

I've seen it in WalMart, but they don't have it all of the time.

It’s a lovely treat. I used to drink as much Diet Coke as I wanted, but I believe this way is healthier.

I have had many Mexican cokes and I don’t find they taste different. Wonder how many could pass a blind taste test. They had soda taste tests for years at the fair, and I recall that a majority of people failed to pick out their favorite soda!

I took the Pepsi challenge years ago, and I knew which was which.
