I like cola soda though I don’t drink it that often.
But I recently noticed the quality is very bad now. Regardless of brands or if diet or not.
I tried a few after noticing how bad a diet coke tasted from my local gas station. So I bought some 2 liters. Generic. Pepsi. Diet pepsi. And a regular coke.
I’m pretty sure it’s all shit now. I think I can tell easier because I don’t drink it that often.
Like it’s not just watered down. Which it is. But the signature cola flavor is barely there.
Cola uses coca beans. And that’s been a big import tarriff thing. Plus greedy companies. And I’m pretty sure they reduced flavoring by at least 30% since this time 2 years ago.
Barely drinkable.
If you drink it all the time, you might not have noticed the gradual change. But I assure you. It’s really lost it’s flavor.
I’ve not noticed any change for fruit flavored white sodas. Just cola soda.
Coca Cola is a US company, so I’ve been boycotting it for years already. Fuck Trump and his little friends.
And even if it wasn’t fot that, I also like diversity and options, and I was told this is what capitalism is great at providing. Instead, everywhere I go, I have to choose between the same 6 or 7 types of piss water, all owned by the Coca Cola company. No thanks, I’ll always prefer the local options and those from smaller beverage producers.
Reminder that Coca-Cola first developed Fanta as a way to keep selling products in Nazi Germany.
Do German people not deserve soft drinks in dark times
Coca-Cola hired a paramilitar death squad to murder unionized workers in my country :)

Financing a paramilitar group is considered a crime against humanity, btw.
russia just bombed coca cola factory in Ukraine. thanks russia
Broken clocks and all that
You guys see ads?
Yeah… I didn’t even know Coke made AI slop ads before this post.
I deadass got called ableist on here once for saying theres no excuse to not be using an ad blocker because of someone’s “executive dysfunction”
You were also kinkshaming, some people like torturing themselves
Do yourself a favor and switch to water instead.
water is a good option too
Yep… But where I live there are really people who say “I don’t want to wash my hands, I’m thisty” if you offer them water.
Like from the toilet‽
But what if its Dasani
The idea of branded water is moronic
I prefer Guchi water, Guchi vaccines and Guchi news
Don’t trust the stuff. Fish pee in there!
Fish fuck* in it.
Ah, the Nazi version of cola products (well at least initially?).
Yeah they’ve done it like five times now, but i’m sure you’ll draw the line at the sixth
I’m OK with being an accomplice to genocide and cous, but I draw the line at AI slop. /s
Fuck Coke and Pepsi what’s a good cola brand I should go looking for at a store in the US
I’m personally partial to Jarritos Mexican Cola, though it can be hard to find outside of variety packs
There’s RC but it’s owned by the Keurig Dr Pepper group so that’s kind of a lateral move. Shasta exists. Other than that, store brands or glass bottles (Boylan makes pretty good stuff).
Make your own sugar water bro
Go Fritz mate
highway patrol cops use Coke to clean blood off the highway, because it’s so acidic, apparently works well - this may be its best use
The acid, mainly phosphoric is used to help solubilize all the sugar. There’s also carbonic acid due to the CO2 in it.
Since when do cops clean anything?
When there’s a bloody wreck on the highway, they will often use a 2-liter of Coke to remove excess blood from the road. It’s common enough that the 2-liters are standard trunk equipment.
Already did. No problem at all, by now brands are just bullshit.
