Coke
There's been a few posts about coke (cola!) so far. Me, I prefer ginger beer.

There was a time when I did have to have 1 can a day, or I'd get twitchy. I think it was more the routine rather than an actually addiction to the fizzy stuff.
Anyway, on holiday in Boston a couple of years ago, market research chaps were handing out free bottles of something called "Coke Blak" (sic).

"Wahay", thought I, "free stuff!". I don't turn free stuff down. Ever. So I gleefully opened this bottle of liquid joy, so rare and new it hadn't even made it to the UK yet, and took a heart quaff.

And spat it back, immediately, whilst physically trying to escape my own tastebuds.

This stuff was normal coke, with a shot of espresso mixed in.

It tasted like spunky tia-maria that's been put through a soda-stream.

Since then, I've been practically unable (and unwilling) to even drink the normal stuff, such is my suspicion of anything black and fizzy these days. It might be Coke Blak in disguise, stealing like a sweet spunky ninja into the shops. I still have flashbacks, and quietly gag a bit. I'm resisting the urge to retch whilst writing this. God, it was horrific.

Coke Blak
Is it like that shit they market here as 'Coke Zero' or after the launch of Quantum Of Solace 'Coke Zero Zero Seven'?

Nope.
Coke Zero is uber-sugar-free I think. Coke Blak is a novelty flavour. Worse even than vanilla coke (bleurgh). I don't think it's made it over here as yet. Hopefully they'll realise it tastes like shitty spooge and not release it worldwide.

Coke zero
is the male version of diet coke, because diet coke is marketed almost exclusively at women

edit: Vanilla diet coke was lovely, you heathen(ess)

I have never tried Coke Blak
I don't even like regular Coke.

But should I ever have the dire misfortune to taste "spunky tia-maria that's been put through a soda-stream", I'll know what it's like.

Worth a click for that phrase alone!

My friend works at a coffee bar..
..and once persuaded me to have a Cocachino.

Hot fizzy coffee.

I wanted to vomit my tongue right off.
