Why I Hate Coca Cola

[Murrdox]

I can NEVER take Dr. Pepper seriously ever again.

I saw a billboard for their new answer to Mt. Dew "Code Red"... I think Dr. Pepper's version was called "Mr. Fusion".

Anyways, the Billboard just had this big picture of a bottle of the stuff, and "Who's your soda!!!??" written in "X-Treme" font.

Whomever thought of THAT ad campaign I'm sure has been dragged out into the street and shot by now.

Even worse than Dr. Pepper's attempt at Code Red Dew is their attempt at making Jolt. They call it Mr. Green. It's caffeinated Dr. Pepper. It's got GINSENG in it, for the love of all that's holy...

It tastes, predictably, like Dr. Pepper with extra sugar and dirt mixed in. It was vile. Like, Monte Cook "Book Of..." vile. Of course, I'm the poor sap who couldn't resist trying it at least once, so pity me. I've also partaken of Pepsi Blue, just because I couldn't resist a soda that looked THAT MUCH like windex. Not a healthy compulsion, in a darwinian sense...

Same thing with Dr. Pepper and Dysentery.

If you had said Dr. Pepper and Diarrhea, you might have been closer. Dr. Pepper has excellent laxative qualities.

Sprite and Syphilis.

Tab and Tastes really, really vile

Actually, Mr. Green is a SoBe soda. Sobe normally makes herbal drinks (like some of the Arizona Iced Teas or the new Snapple stuff).

The normal Sobe juices taste pretty good (my drink of choice, actually), but I'll agree with you that the Mr. Green tastes like Dr. Pepper that does Vile Damage. Pretty much tastes as bad as Dew, IMHO.

HERETIC

INFIDELS!!

All bow to the greatness that is Dr. Pepper! It is the one true soda! All others are merely imitations!

And for those of you who want sweet sugary goodness, you can buy Dr Pepper made from pure Imperial Sugar!

You have turned your back on that one divine soft drink which is not only totally refreshing, but can SAVE YOUR IMMORTAL SOUL FROM ETERNAL DAMNATION!

Your apostacy has guaranteed that you shall suffer, for in the end of days! Judgement shall be harsh indeed for one who so brazenly admits to idolatry!

The very name "Dr Pepper" indicates a preference for modern science over that of the miracal healing that is possible with Pepsi.

END COMMUNICATION

I hate to go against gamer convention here, but I can't stand Mountain Dew by itself. I have, however, successfully used it in the past as a mixer when drinking Alcohol Man Was Not Meant To Drink (tm), where it's overpowering hideousness was needed to drown out even more hideous grain alcohol taste sensations. However, by itself, it's like drinking ass in a bottle.

I agree with you on the taste of Mountain Dew.

However, you've now put the image of a Uzo(sp?)-Dew into my head. Thanks.

Beh. Everyone knows that God does not exist. Your church of moe is a sham. There is but one beverage that leads to spiritual freedom and the Final Refreshment. Throw off the spritual oppression that is the way of Coke, and acheive both enlightenment and refreshment by worshiping at the altar of Pepsi!

Lord Zardoz, you are my hero! Long have I railed against those who would push inferior drinks upon us and lo, I have found a fellow prophet.

All hail Pepsi, the one true drink.
