Cherry Coca-Cola.....used to hate the stuff but I can't stop myself drinking it now. Rotten teeth and raised blood pressure here I come!

 

Do you get food or drink fads?

My blood is 80% cherry Coke!

Not a food fad but I love full English breakfast. I could eat several at one sitting.

Not since I was last pregnant 15 years ago! I ate so many bananas, it's a wonder my son wasn't yellow!

ive recently had a phase of buying the 24 pack of normal coca cola cans, and then while working on the pc having 2 or 3 a night. had the last can last night and have been told by the wife i should probably look at curbing it (i know she's right!) so i'll ween myself back onto ribena or something less fizzy

[HMCTech]

Have pancakes for breakfast at school every day

I have been known to drink loads of Ribena (ie 500ml bottle) after OH gave me two crates of the stuff that was going out of date. I since changed my mind about the stuff after supporting an assembly that told me there were 16spoon fulls of sugar.

Yeah, a rectangular wooden box about 6ft long ;-)

[tech_guy]

Does it have purple quilting and a little window so I can wave as I go along the conveyor belt into the incinerator?

[teejay]

Can be arranged, I'll also stick in a nice sound system with 'Highway to Hell' blasting out if you want:evil_twisted:

That's why I drink Saccharin, all it can give you is Cancer!

I just wish my local sold it. Unfrotunately the only local pubs that sell it are the ones I don't regularly grace with my presence.

[plexer]

Tesco sell it much cheaper than bar prices often have a 2 for 1 offer in my local one.

 

Try Tesco own brand almond cola that nice too.

Whilst at Uni 5/6 years ago I gained a rather unhealthy Pepsi Max addiction thanks to a BOGOF offer than ran for what seemed like months on end on the stuff, by the end of which I was easily gulping down 2x 6-can packs every day. Something about it (or in it) became really addictive, and I found I actually felt depressed\sad\unmotivated to do anything if I stopped drinking it (worse than when I quit smoking), which really worried me!

 

Had to wean myself off it, took a few months, and if I drink it now I feel sick.....
