Oh. WOW.
And to think, I picked up a bottle of Coke Zero today, thinking, what does a zero cal coke taste like, I mean, isn't the coke taste where the cals are?
So what to do now, take a sip to confirm the taste, then pour it down the drain in place of the pipe cleaner?
I'm thirsty now, must get that green tea bottle from the fridge.

Okay, so I took a sip...well, a couple, and it taste more like Pepsi than the Coke I remember, but then, it's been ages--take that as probably more than 10 years--since I've had either, so...well, I'll say, I don't like the sweet aftertaste at all, it's kinda yucky
It may sound strange, but no one else in my family drinks stuff like this, I was very good in preventing my kids from developing a taste for soda pop, and to this day, they have never brought a can or bottle home
Anyway....pipe cleaner it's going to be, I guess

Oh, yeah, and come to think of it, I think I was told as a kid that Coke is bad for your teeth Don't want any early dentures!

I think I will stick with anything but Coke.
Have you all tried the new Lipton Diet White Tea with Raspberry.. its so YUMMY when served very cold!!!!

[Robbin]

Yes I have had the new white tea and it is very good.
I made regular ice tea with decaf tea bags and it was realy good too.
But I have to confess something.,
I had a rum and coke over the weekend and although I sipped it very slowly I still got tipsy. It was chancy but I did feel good!!!! LOL
