The "Real Thing" or not
Anyone remember the old Pepsi commercials "which do you prefer" trying to prove that people did not actually prefer the "Real Thing" over Pepsi?
Not being a great fizzy drink consumer - or any type of squash come to that, I only ever drink the diet version of them, squash being diluted so that it is not much more than flavoured water. And during the summer when it is hot I do tend to need to drink a lot of fluids, so a bit of taste over plain water is sometimes welcome.
We can get diet Coke and diet sprite, [sometimes Pepsi] and also the local versions of same but not diet and I hate the taste of sugar. And sometimes I just fancy a glass of cold cola but the "Real Thing" has caffeine and as I limit my caffeine intake I was very happy when RC diet cola appeared as it is caffeine-free. I also think it tasted nicer.
Then it stopped being available. Oh well, cola and other fizzies are not necessary but sometimes the fancy appears - and much to my delight when I went across to the macolet this morning they had RC diet cola again!
Does anyone else have a favourite fizzy?
