  1. In my doddering old age, I have come to find my once favorite thing on earth, Coca Cola, to be waaayyy too sweet.

    Now I kinda mix it 1:3 with plain sparkling water and I like it much better.

    Maybe I will eventually ratio it down further.

    Homeopathic cola anyone?

  3. This past weekend I found Monster Juice Khaotic at Dollar Tree for a buck, so I picked one up.

    It's an orange / citrus Monster juice. 10% juice in it.

    I liked it. Solid orange energy drink.

    Would get again.

  5. @istudybiology @jcdvore @Canadian_Eh

    I've never heard "Coke" used generically to refer to any other soft drink, anywhere in Canada. And I've been to most parts of Canada...

    It was my understanding that this usage was from the deep south of the USA - probably specifically Georgia, where the Coca-Cola company is headquartered, if I had to guess.

    "Pop" was common, enough so that one big Canadian company was The Pop Shoppe, which sold their own-brand soda in dozens of flavours from their own franchised stores rather than other retailers. It was a common ritual to take the kids down to the store on the weekend and let them pick out flavours to fill a case with.

  7. Tried Red Bull Peach Edition - White Pink.

    It's pretty good. Does taste more artificial peach than like traditional Red Bull flavoring.

    Would drink again.

  9. Monster Energy says...'Merica.

    The first was an aggressive looking Strawberry Lemonade Juice Monster. It's...okay. I'd drink it again, but I'd pick most other Monsters over it. It's kind of strawberry lemonade flavored, heavier on the lemonade and a little tart.

    Red White and Blue Razz tastes...like blue raspberry Monster. Would drink again. Doesn't need the silly re-branding, tho.

  11. While excavating the contents of a box filled with various papers I won at an April North Star Auction, I unearthed this lovely 11”x16” Coca-Cola magazine ad from 1916.

  12. Voting

    Daily writing prompt Do you vote in political elections? View all responses

    Do I vote in political elections? No, I don’t vote in political elections. Are you serious? Voting? I traditionally spend election day – and evening – at home alternating between eating pizza and summer sausage with peanut butter and American cheese sandwiches and dunking Oreo cookies in chocolate milk until the sun sets when I switch to a 2 liter bottle of Coke and peanut M&Ms. And instead of watching the news and getting bored watching everyone talking about everything, I’m happy flipping between reruns of Housewives of Wherever and the Maury Povich Show. The only voting I do is picking who is and who is not the father. And yeah, I know what you’re thinking and it doesn’t have anything to do with the summer sausage and peanut butter with American cheese sandwich and you’re right: I do then spend the next 2-4 years bitching about the elections and all the things that are wrong with the country, and how it can be, they can be, you can be better. But so what? There’s no law says we have to vote and whose business is my complaining but my own? And really, it’s not like my vote would make a difference anyway, ‘ya know, and if people can’t get it right then I have the God-given right to complain about it.

    “Not voting is not a protest. It is a surrender.” – Keith Ellison, Attorney General of Minnesota

    Yes, I vote. I vote in every political election and this is a numbskull question. And I’m guessing I may have disparaged and belittled the character of people who don’t vote and for that I’m… thinking about it.

    “By all means stay home if you want, but don’t bullshit yourself that you’re not voting. In reality, there is no such thing as not voting: you either vote by voting, or you vote by staying home and tacitly doubling the value of some Diehard’s vote.” – David Foster Wallace

    The one bad thing about voting for me is the feeling of having one chance to get it right or else. And not getting the candidates right, but the ballot right. We have paper ballots here and what if my hand shakes and I color outside the little oval a little bit? Or what if I don’t follow the line of text correctly and I color in the wrong hole? I know mistakes happen and the poll workers are there to help with that kind of thing, but then something like that happens and now I get on a list like, Goofy Voter Guy or something, and when I go back to vote in the next election and I give them my name, the room gets kind of quiet and all the poll workers glance over in my direction. Not obviously or anything like that, because poll workers are trained to be discrete, but it doesn’t take much on my part to see all the poll workers busy at their jobs and talking to other, more responsible, voters with steady hands and the ability to color in a circle and follow a line correctly, shifting their eyes to me. And then when I step up to that little table thing to vote and my back is to the room, there’ll be the inevitable hushed whispers of the poll workers and it’ll be impossible to avoid the words.

    “Hey, that’s the guy.”
    “Really? That’s him?”
    “Yup.”
    “Goofy Voter Guy?”
    “Mmm hmm.”
    “He’s better looking than I thought.”
    “Don’t let that fool you. It’s what’s upstairs that counts.”
    “You mean like—”
    “Mmm hmm, the light’s on, but no one’s home.”
    “Poor guy. How hard is it to color in a little circle, anyway?”
    “I know, right?”
    “Shh, he’s looking over here. Look busy.”

    Yeah, all that. Or worse.

    And worse.

    And then by the time I’m finally done voting I’m so on edge that my hands shake when I reach out to accept the “I VOTED” sticker the poll worker near the door hands me and I drop in on the floor. Now I have to bend over and pray that I don’t rip my pants and as I bend to pick up the sticker it’s easy to hear the muffled laughs and the words.

    “Goofy Voter Guy? Goofy Butterfingers Guy, is more like it!”
    “I know, right?”
    “At least he didn’t rip his pants when he bent over.”
    “That would have been something!”

    We have problems on the north, south, east and west. New York City, Saint Louis, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Detroit, Chicago. Everybody has problems and personally, I don’t care” – Alice Cooper, Elected

    The title of the song here, don’t do it. Don’t vote for me. I’m not running for anything, it’s just a good Chicago song. And in case you’re wondering what’s real and what’s not in this upside down world, I have never had a summer sausage with peanut butter and American cheese sandwich.

  16. Tried the new Lando Norris Monster Energy Zero Sugar and let me tell you, I know neither who Lando Norris is nor what flavor it was supposed to be.

    Apparently, it's supposed to be some kind of melon based drink. I don't know. I couldn't tell.

    It was fine and sweet. Literally, sweet. Probably won't drink again, but it's unoffensive.

  18. A 1951 Coca-Cola ink blotter — See that fella with the bottle cap embedded in his head? His name was Sprite Boy, and he was introduced in 1942. Sprite (the drink) made its debut in 1961.

  19. Tried Monster Ultra Paradise recently.

    I liked it, but couldn't discern exactly what the flavor was supposed to be. So, I looked it up.

    Apparently, it's supposed to be "...kiwi and lime with a hint of cucumber." I didn't get any hints of cucumber or lime, but I could see kiwi. Kind of.

    It was good, though. I liked it.

    Would drink again.

  23. So, I tried Monster Energy Ultra Punk Punch last weekend.

    It tasted like red fruit punch.

    If I was supposed to discern a specific fruit in this, it was unknowable.

    Would drink again, though.

  25. It was a rather harsh week but something quite nice was waiting for me in my mailbox tonight — a 1907 issue of Collier’s with a hitherto elusive Coca-Cola ad inside.

  26. So, at Dollar General I saw G-Fuel's Knuckles the Echidna energy drink called Sour Power. A sucker for gimmicky energy drinks and Sonic the Hedgehog characters, I had to get it.

    The flavor is "Sour Power" and let me tell you...it tastes like sweet malic acid. Malic acid is what they put on Sour Patch Kids and other sour candies to make them taste sour. This taste like liquid malic acid with some artificial sugars added in. No specific flavoring, just sweetness.

    It was...odd. Not terrible, but odd.

    Wouldn't get again.
