Ok. Heavily marketing. Stuck at the counters with huge silver and red signs. Slogans & whatnot...

But why? This drink must be the most awful thing I've ever tasted. Ok, the "Latte in a can" wasn't that great either but this stuff is just horrid. I haven't met ONE person who likes it (although this post will probably make a liar of me).

Everyone I've met has said "I hate it. It's like ... like ..."

And then I say it.

It's like Diet Coke, after someone has taken a sip out of it and poured in some milk.

Most accurate description I have heard so far. Thank you, will use that in future if that is OK?

horrid stuff.

cant say that ive ever tasted it

the can doesnt look overly inviting

i guess it must be bad if shops are putting out the front as main displays and its out cheap

what is it supposed to be anyway?

Its supposed to be Coke's version of Red Bull - i reckon they got it half right !!!

I forgot what I was reading because of your Avatar Felch !!!

Advertising gurus can make anything look good.Sadly the horrid taste makes me think "Dont believe the hype"

Ive had it a couple of times, first time I hated it, after that I really liked it.

Its going that well, Woolies have it at 99c for a 4 pack. Compare that the about $8.00 for V 4pk and $10.35 for Red Bull 4pk.
I think this is also a pretty fair indication of the different drinks.

I tried it and didnt finish it - just as well, I got it as a free sample from Caltex!

Never heard of it, let alone tried it. However a drink named "Mother" makes me think of a certain sketch from Little Britain.... "Want bitty"...

I have never got into it but i heard it tastes similar to barbecue sauce??
Seen it around but after hearing about it ... just thought no way.
Have also heard if you have it a few times it gets ok, but i don't want to go through the horror.
I have had the coffee in a can before, and i didn't mind it.
Was small, instant hit of caffiene, and didn't burn my mouth.
Mind you, i didn't seek it out again, but it was better than bbq sauce.

I would also like to add Dr Pepper to the list of worst drinks.
And tonic water, although that is said to have healing properties, and people like it, so i've heard.

I thought this was going to be about breast feeding..

for all the marketing and can etc

I dont think the can actually looks that good

LOL. My missus bought a four pack of this stuff and it's been sitting in the fridge for ages. However, I can think of a worse drink in the world...TEQUILA.

Tequila is ******* evil. You don't drink Tequila, Tequila drinks you. My introduction to the evil shit was when my mate Walshy and I decided to see how many slammers we could get into our guts before they threw us out of the bar. We managed a John Bonham like tally, I got to 33 and Walshy got to 29. I still don't remember how I got home that night.

A few years later I hooked up with this tart from Elizabeth and got up to all sorts of naughty things that are only a distant memory to me know but I had another Tequila session and missed my second date. Stupid bastard. I was on an absolute winner there too.

More recently my co-workers have bought me a bottle of Tequila for my 40th birthday and it's no surprise that it has taken me 18 months to drink it! Shit. In the 80's that was one night's work. On the way I have destroyed about four different drinking partners and when I get my hip flask out these days everyone starts running.

TEQUILA. Stay away from the shit. You've been warned. I don't fear Hell because after suffering a multitude of Tequlia hang overs, I know hell and have felt it first hand. SHUDDER.

REB

I see your Tequila & raise you Grappa...

Do they still make "Two Dogs" lemonade?

Bought a six pack of that when it came out. My reaction after having downed the first stubby was "how do they get the dogs to squat over the bottle?" Took me all summer to finish that six pack, and then only 'coz I couldn't be arsed going out to the bottlo for something decent.
