I originally thought this thread was idiotic. But then I tried Mountain Dew's Baja Blast and was glad to have a place to say that it tastes like yak ****. Warm yak **** that's been in a jar on the windowsill in a Chernobyl neighborhood.

You must have accidentally grabbed a tobacco spittoon belonging to a friend of mine. :-X

Still better than any 3-litter bottle of no frills soda.

Not much.

Seven pages on soda and no mention of IBF Root Beer and IBF Black Cherry. Poured over crushed ice (I have an ice crusher in my kitchen), it might as well be liquid crack.

i've found that crushed ice interferes with the whole drinking process, tony. i go with the small cubes.

Chewing on the crushed ice with the root beer in your mouth at the same time makes it like a root beer slushie.

you wiley *******.



i can see that now. you must have one heckuva crusher, though.

When I was a teen growing up, my dad loved crushed ice with his Coke so much that we got him one of those hand-crank ice crushers. I got so hooked on crushed ice then that I must have crushed two trays of cubes a night. Fifteen years ago when I bought my first house, this really nice retired couple lived next door. When they sold a year later to move into an apartment they had a rummage sale. They had an electric ice crusher for sale and I bought it. One of my greatest rummage purchases ever.

Most places down here call any soft drink a "Coke," even if it's a flat grape soda.

never saw the logic behind that one.

Waitperson: "What to drink?"
Me: "Coke would be great."
Waitperson: "What kind?"
Me: "Um ... Coke. The regular kind."

Annoying at first, but now it's just amusing.

Did you find it outside a Taco Bell establishment? I've never seen it anywhere else.

No, inside. Fresh from the filthy, filthy machine. It was just awful and apparently loaded with caffeine. I had to have a fix later after taking a just a few sips.

I tried it when it first came out two years ago. Worst ****ing decision I made for a choice of drink with a meal from that place. I don't see how they keep selling it.

My wife has two bad habits...smoking and leaving half-empty soda cans lying around the house. She smokes outside, and used to stuff her butts in an empty soda can. Well, one day she brought the can inside but instead of throwing it in the garbage right away, she set it on the kitchen counter and forgot about it.
Along comes Batman, who likes to clean up the empties.
I grab the can, feel that there's some weight to it, and take a swig to finish it off.
Worst. Decision. Ever.

I had a friend who did that with chew once. He wasn't a fan, either.

That's why my instinct is always to empty the cans into the sink. I don't know what's in it or where it's been.

I have had that conversation ... 8,000 times.

Glad to have company.

"You know ... Coke. Red can? White, script letters? Says 'Coca-Cola.' I call it 'Coke' for short."

What's everyone's favorite drink from Sonic? Mine's a strawberry limeade with extra strawberries.

Believe me, it's one story I'd rather not have in my file.
