Mexican Coca-Cola
 

I'm not sure there is any beverage that is better than Mexican Coca-Cola in a bottle. It is far superior to its American counterpart. Orange Crush in a bottle does come close.

Realize though there is no FDA in Mexico. Mexican anything is prepared with contaminated water.

I believe that was Funk's point. He likes the tang fecal matter adds to Coca-Cola.

I couldn't tell the difference.

Mexican Coca Cola is lazier than American Coca Cola.

you must like overly sweet and flat soda. Esta bien.

The glass-bottled coca-cola you buy from the LV store is pretty damned good.

Lol.

In Ecuador we used to say that Coca Cola killed bichos. So I drank maybe six a day, to kill the bichos and also because there was no bottled water and I was too lazy to boil myself some. I learned that Coca-cola, RC and Pepsi have very different boquets and flavors. I doubt my pallet is any longer so fine since I haven't drank a soda for years.

we did the same thing in Bolivia....drank a load of carbonated beverages in lieu of boiling water. Is that a myth or does carbonation really kill the cholera and other bacteria in the water?

The downside was that I got so sick of soda on my mission that I rarely drink it today. I can handle an occassional can here and there, max.

One guy that I work with pumps down the diet coke like it is plasma. He shows up every morning with his massive 48 oz. plastic mug filled with diet coke. he drinks it at lunch and all day long. That guy is going to have major gall stones to pass in a few years. I dont know how anyone can drink so much of the same thing over and over.

I only drank black sodas. I found I didn't get sick of them and more important they quenched my thirst whereas the others didn't. In the tiendas they'd put them in the freezer above the fridge space in their little ice boxes. It'd be about 100% humidity and 100 degrees F and they'd pop the cap and the bottle insides would turn to slush. I didn't get sick of it but haven't drank much soda since. Honestly I don't think soda with major brands is contaminated in poor countries. I'm not sure why not, though.

You pride yourself on being able to tell the difference between Coke, Pepsi, and RC Cola? Yes, ClouSeaU is back on the job.

I said I can't any longer. I'm proud of that.

here is the best drink ever: (Ramune)

No, this is:

Palate: Smooth, soft and lasting flavours of heather, honey sweetness and vanilla followed by deeper citrus-fruit flavours and hints of malted bread.

Finish: Long, lingering, surprisingly intense finish that starts sweetly, then gives way to smoke, peat and malt.

sorry, reminds me of listerine.

A soda in a bottle with a marble? I am all over that sort of crazy gimmick.

I just called the Japanese grocery store nearest the office...Ebisu Supermarket. It is about 10 minutes away. They sell it.

What flavor should I get? Maybe I should just buy a few bottles and try them?

I've only had the normal clear kind that is lemon-lime. They do have other flavors, but haven't tried them yet.

To be honest, the flavor is not particularly remarkable. It's the bottle that is fun, esp. for the kids. These bottles used to be common in Britain, but stopped using them. Now the old ones are collector items, because most of them were broken by kids wanting the marble.

I think your kids would get a kick out of drinking from them, just like I did when I was young.

Let me know which flavor you like the best.

I prefer the bourbon.

OK, I have them in hand (sent my admin instead of waiting).

Strawberry flavor and Melon flavor.

The bottles look different from the ones in your pic, but still very funky and very Japanese in the packaging. They are bottled locally here in Torrance, so this drink must not be hard to find. She also bought me a bottle of a weird drink called Calpico. It is mango flavor and has a Hello Kitty on the label. It looks awesome.

With the exception of Pearl Harbor, chain smoking, standing too close, and Sanyo, why is everything that Asians do so rad?

btw, I love a lot of the yogurt drinks they have in Japan.

What you call "Calpico" is actually "Calpis" but they changed the name for export because it sounds like "Cow Piss".

Calpis is not my favorte yogurty-drink. I like the much richer ones. Calpis can be consumed hot or cold. I like it cold.

The first one looks most intriguing by far. As for the second, the fact that they say go ahead and use it in a "premium cocktail" speaks volumes.

Good Lord. Does she bring you your Postum in the morning too?

You've never sent an admin to go run an errand for you?

I made it fun for her. I paid for her energy drinks.

My goodness, you are a heckuva nice guy. I am sure all the "admins" love you.

So check these babies out. First, note the attractive packaging. I included an arrow to indicate where the glass marble is housed. You cannot see it, but trust me, it is there.

Once you remove the plastic wrapper, you must disassemble a small plastic component that will then be used to dislodge the glass marble. I havent used any Burt's Bees for my cuticles lately, so instead of subjecting you all to that, I simply used a pair of chopsticks to illustrate how the plunger will be depressed, thereby dislodging the marble. The result is a cool noise not dissimilar to opening up a normal can of soda.

You can see that the marble has been dislodged and rests in the indentation within the neck of the bottle. If you do not hold the bottle correctly, the glass marble rolls back up to the mouth of the bottle and acts as a plug, impeding the free flow of beverage. It is awesome!

I found strawberry to be refreshing and light. It is not syrupy, so even if you are not a big soda fan, you can enjoy these. Very cool suggestion and a fun way to get your 6 oz on.

Are you questioning my top shelf tastes?

I believe they're referring to Blanton's with the "premium cocktail" line. It's a bit confusing as they're inserted descriptions of three other bourbons in the middle of the page for Buffalo Trace.

They really are admins. No need to use quotes.

My admin and I get along swimmingly.

You should have taken a picture before you depressed the marble. Stupid.

I used them becaseu I don't know what that means. Admin without a period means what?

Ask and ye shall receive. Don't forget, I had a strawberry AND a melon.

It means you were careless when sleeping with your admin

Very good Triplet. Dang, now you've made me want to buy a couple.

How much are they? At the store I bought them, they were $1per.

Clever. I feel like Dan Rowan.

I always pegged you more the Ruth Buzzi type.

(And PK, if you are reading this, I KNOW you are feeling Ruth Buzzi)

I gave my admin a $20.

She bought me 2 Ramune, 1 Cowpiss, and 2 energy drinks for herself.

She gave me $5 in change.

My guess....they cost about $1.50.

Well, she did have a better mustache.

I'm more of a Gladys type.
