Buster, the cola flavor comes from the African Kola nut.
So when it tastes like African nuts, you know you've got it.

Well thanks.But that was not the question.
It's kinda like I asked at coffee shop, anyone want any cucumbers. Some some old, old man started on why he couldn't eat the sobs.
Damn me, I just if anyone wanted any. In that case a simple yes or no would have sufficed.
Thank, hell I can't spell the name at this moment. For the toon.

Whatever buster. I guess you've become the 'what aliantha can and can't say now' police.

I still don't drink the shit, and to answer your question, no I can't help you.

Doesn't look like anyone else can either. Sarcasm intended.

I find you get the best Cola taste from the Coca-cola. Cola meaning " I don't care for Pepsi as much."


"Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Go down Point Koomahnah

Funny, my fiance just asked about that last night. The ad came on during House and he said "what's that supposed to mean? More cola taste? What's a cola taste?"

I guess it means that diet pepsi tastes more like regular (non-diet) cola than diet coke does... but it seems stupid to use a weird subjective term like that and then say that they did omg scientific! studies.

It's perfect, nobody can dispute it or prove them wrong.

Here is an article from Pepsico.

It's a funny article, because of this quote:
Quote:

"We're shining the light on this one basic, yet incredibly important fact in an ad campaign reminding people about the great taste of Diet Pepsi."
The article says the proof is that more consumers chose Diet Pepsi as having more cola taste.

Again, how are they defining more cola taste? Great subjectiveness, less scientific, to paraphrase another of the genre. To celebrate the success they handed "out more than three million samples of the newly designed cans in cities throughout the U.S. today."

It's a revisitation of the Pepsi Challenge, which meant nothing either.

Heres a little bit of trivia for you. At the time of the Pepsi challenge in the 80s, I was talking to the guy across the street who managed a grocery store. He told me that Coke was able to claim it's more popular, because its worldwide sales exceeded Pepsi's, but that it wasn't a fair comparison, because many of those sales were at restaurants and vending machines which do not offer a choice between the two. At the time, in stores that carried both products, Pepsi was the better seller of the two. So Pepsi wanted to be able to point out that more people choose Pepsi when they are given a choice, so Pepsi came up with the Pepsi challenge.

Then there was the whole New Coke debacle and the patriotic fervor that surrounded Classic Coke, and Coke actually experienced a huge bump in sales from that. I have no idea what is best selling now.

None of this matters when deciding what you want to drink. At least it doesn't matter unless you are a lemming.

The New Coke debacle...I was discussing that last night. What a mistake, or was it? When the Classic Coke came "back" it sold like, um...hotcakes. The New Coke tasted more like Pepsi, so it must have been a quantity of "cola taste" thing.

I remember taking the Pepsi Challenge at King's Island in Cincinnati. I tried to purposely pick Coke because I'm partial to it. I was successful.

Other trivia: Somewhere between my love of Tab and my love of Diet Coke when it debuted there was a Pepsi Lite. It had half the calories but a touch of lemon flavoring. I liked that too.

Some years ago I would buy Tab if I saw it in the store just for the memories. A diet pop hater would REALLY hate that stuff, but I like it. Don't know if you can buy it any more.

I had a Pepsi a couple of weeks ago, and it just didn't taste very good to me. Then I had a bottle of my favoritest soda in the known universe--Dr. Pepper--and it too tasted like shit. As had a couple of bottles I had before that (not directly before, but you know what I mean). It was at this point that I came to the conclusion that I just don't have a taste for regular soda anymore and that there is no sense in my buying it in the foreseeable future.

No Lady. That was just an aside from my old lame brain.
