Here’s a list of my 3 favourite ways to drink Coca Cola
- Coca Cola 250ml Glass Bottle Crown Cap
- My #1 favourite because:
- Glass keeps the coke super cold
- The contour of the bottle not only looks elegant and sexy but is functional too because it pours the coke pleasantly down your throat
- You need a bottle opener to get it open, and I like that because it restricts access to an elite club of people with an opener
- They are expensive, about $3 each (=$15/litre). And rare, you can only get them from Cafe’s. Psychologically these factors make having one more of an experience
- But: 200ml’s is just not enough. I need at least 2 of these
- Coca Cola 330ml Glass Bottle Twist Top
- My #2 favourite because:
- Glass keeps the coke super cold
- Again, the contour bottle is great
- But: 330ml’s is only barely enough, it doesn’t quench my thirst. Available from the supermarket in 4 packs which actually is a bad thing because it reduces it’s exclusivity
Coca Cola 355ml Can- My #3 favourite because:
- Cans are cheap: only $0.70 per can in NZ when you buy them in packs of 18 from the supermarket
- I’ve had one a day for almost 20 years (that’s about 7,000 cans)
- Because the serving size is quite small you can drink it within a few minutes so it’s fresh and cold and fizzy throughout the experience
- The Can is reasonable at keeping the coke cold, but not as good as glass
- On a side note; have you noticed that cans commonly have “Not for Individual Sale” printed on them and yet most retailers happily do so? Funny.
The 3 worst ways to drink Coca Cola:
Coca Cola 600ml Plastic Bottle- My #3 worst choice because:
- Probably the most widely distributed, available in every dairy on the planet. That’s why I hate it
- The same contour as the glass bottle just doesn’t work when it’s plastic. It feels cheap in my hand. Yuck.
- But to be honest, when faced with zero alternatives, I have purchased one a few times
Coca Cola 2.25lt or 1.5lt Plastic Bottle- My #2 worst choice because:
- Plastic is nasty to drink from
- If the 3 options above are not available, the only way I could possibly tolerate coke from a big bottle is poored very slowly over a tall glass filled to the brim with ice. But of course most of the fizz has gone by the time you’ve finished this process.
Coca Cola Post-Mix- My #1 worst choice because:
- A huge revenue generator for Fast Food restaurants all over the world
- It is pure evil. Who is the sick genius who created this abomination? Did you know it costs about 4 cents to fill a paper cup? One squirt of syrup, add water, squeeze in some Carbon Dioxide. Yuck.
I’ve heard about these 700ml glass bottles with Crown Caps in Brazil. Ohhhh yummy. I hope to visit in a few years!
Do you have different ideas for the order of the list? In what ways do you most like to drink Coca Cola? Which ways do you loathe it?
I do not drink any soft drinks, eat only two meals a day, and no snacking or between meal foods. I am very healthy and have boundless energy. People say I am too thin, but at 5’3″ and 108 or so I am just right. Obese women are everywhere — Was in Boston last week and a big one sat down next to me and crushed my leg. I got up and stood for the long ride. They (the obese) have no concept of how big they are. Most unattractive.
I love to drink only the foam of coca cola!
Do you know of ways to produce coca cola foam?
