Any recommendations for a nice fizzy drink that’s not made by the coca cola company?

I had forgotten just how vile the taste of pepsi is (luckily I only bought two bottles of the stuff during my daily shopping), so I need something else for those moments I don’t drink water, milk or the occasional beer.

Irn Bru!!!!

There is that stuff they sell in GM that has the purple lumps in it and is served in a thermos flask. I mean, I dunno if you could really call it “fizzy” but it does seem, let’s say, volatile.

Mind you I don’t think it is really fair to say that it has never resulted in death or serious injury.

Vimto is the way forward, preferably with Gin in it.

Too true! here is a conversation about vimto, to save me writing it all over again :)

:D I miss the signatures too. Perhaps we should just write random phrases at the bottom of our posts?

There’s nothing like a random phrase to make a post look bigger, and a tad more professional.

Nah, it’s fine.

This thread was about the evils of Coke, not your sodding signature line, woman

hmmm…

A nicely spaced gap would look better though, wouldn’t it?

But signatures are an important part of self expression and civil liberties, and therefore entirely relevant. And it’s so not fair that you can say ‘woman’ but if I say ‘man’ I sound like a hippy or a chav :mad:

You’re right.

You can call me Sir.

I’m always right :)

Fat chance

Please, please, please tell me that I can drink Spa (all flavours) and Hero cassis? If not, I look like a right pillock having stashed loads of the stuff for christmas, and Spa Citron and Spa bubbly stuff with apple-y taste are awfully good.

As for my new year resolutions - I’ll try and avoid unethical companies. It would be a bit odd being a union / AI member and donate to Oxfam Novib on a monthly basis and still support shit companies like coca cola.

I bought a can of Pepsi this week instead of Coke and I have been choosing V over Relentless where possible.

I have also ceased my policy of murdering Columbians for fun, so I guess a positive change all round.

I bought some powered tomato soup today and noticed it was made by Nestle. However, I spotted it when I was in the queue so bought it. Am I evil?

Of course not. You are a lovely fluffy pumpkin of joy, and don’t have a bad bone in your body. At least you noticed :) However, people who don’t read the labels on things until they get to the queue are likely to die of poverty, cholesterol or allergies at a young age, so I wouldn’t recommend it on the whole.

Also, I am not sure about the Nestle situation any more. The boycott started so many years ago you would have thought they would have cleaned up their act by now, wouldn’t you? I’ll look into it :)
