When I was a youngun (I guess high schoolish) I went to the coke museum in ATL, and at the end they have a section where you can try all of the variations of sodas coke has all over the world. I tried them all one after another. OMG, intl soda taste is terrible (looking at you, saudi arabia). I actually did puke while still in the museum. I have not wanted to go near a coke product since.

Same here. But I have no intention of trying full sugar coke. You should try cane sugar dr pepper if you want to not barf.

All you Coke haters must be overlooking the obvious performance benefits.

Been quite a while since I've driven through the south.

My still-addicted sisters used to bring big 2 liter bottles of that stuff when they came to visit. Dusty, unopened ones would still be here when they returned.

It's also Kent State Day, and the 62nd birthday of my first real sweetheart that lasted more than a few months. We're still in touch, though we haven't actually crossed paths since '81. We might spring for a trip to Hawaii to visit her in the somewhat near future.
