one-third mountain dew, one-third dr. pepper, and one-third sprite remix...

i got a couple of question for y'all. (even though im from aus, and some of this might be confusing for even austrailans (its aimed at victorians))

with the influx of new, as i call them "spin off" soft drinks (like cherry coke,
sprite ice, pepsi twist), where would we draw the line when it comes to
flavour combinations? (vegimite coke anyone?).

and if you have any weird mixings of soft drinks,put them here. im needing inspiration

some ive created:
Cherry coke Spider - cherry coke and vanilla ice cream.
Mint Coke - mix a 2 litre bottle of coke with a pack of peppermint tic-tacs
Dr. Coffee Pepper - a glass of dr. pepper and 1/16th coffee. weird.

another question:
in my hometown (where i live), i noticed that there is a lot of untapped potential,
chick-wise. not that im bragging about my town, of course. has anyone else got
a hometown like mine? (pop. of sunbury (my town) aprox. 8,000)
(take this sir spectre - part of the 1% thats not about CG or hand drawn women.

Caffine free, diet coke. What the heck is the point?

im sure i tried the coke and tic tacs combo when i was a kid and it took all the gas out of the drink
now vegimite coke that sounds tasty
i think a special edition for the festive season is in order cokeane a combo for a hangover ; mix of cola and novocane the theory is the caffeine/sugar will rush the active ingredient to the hangover
cokeopops; cola mixed with acne cream
and if that is a disgusting you never tried the diet decaf cherry coke obviously argh !
seriously some of the new flavours are vile imho

you'd better stick to Irn-Bru then, Geoff

Wasn't there a wild berry pepsi or sumpn like that? Wretched stuff

yeah pepsi blue.....tasted like robitussin

I'm gonna stick my fist in your ear buddy!

Another Australian! That makes... six (?). I dislike Coca-Cola Amatil intensely (for various reasons), and I refuse to buy their products. Instead, I go for a nice ginger beer. It is truly the drink of kings! The mortal equivalent of ambrosia, the nectar of the gods, etc.

My point is this; companies will do anything to make a sale. If a few thousand people around the world drink a new variety of Pepsi, etc, I imagine that the development testing, and production phases of the drink in question would be paid for in about 12 months. They can't lose! Well, except for the company that manufactured Dr. Pepper *shudder*. Boycott 'em all, I say! But then I'm biased (I bet you couldn't tell ).

whats wrong with doctor pepper?

Well, the best one I've created is coke-shirley temple-ginger ale(or, if the shirley temple is made with ginger ale, I use sprite instead). I personally think that most of these new flavors are pretty stupid. For instance, vanilla coke has been around for a long time; just add a few drops of vanilla extract to your coke-it's much better than out of the bottle

You don't like Dr. Pepper? Next time you visit Denmark try Jolly Cola, after that little experience your tastebuds will never be the same. I actually barfed

ff - Dr. Pepper just isn't my thing. It seems to be nothing more than a cheap Chinotto rip-off. Besides, it was so unpopular here in Victoria (and I assume the rest of Australia), that it seemed to be stacked eight boxes high in every supermarket , and being sold for less than a dollar (Australian currency of course). It seemed so unpopular to everyone that I spoke to, that I doubted that the supermarkets could give it way! I'd say that's a pretty strong consumer statement!

Bom - I'll bear that in mind. Sounds delish!

I think im actually the only Australian who doesn't mind Dr. Pepper. I wouldn't say I love the stuff but I don't mind it. Actually the new Cherry Coke kinda reminds me of it.

I really like the new Diet Cherry Pepsi. I can't have the corn syrup in regular sodas, so having a Diet Cherry is great!
