I just thought I'd start a thread for those wanting other opinions.
My first one is relating to the new Coke "life".
After so many attempts at trying to make a Coke taste like Coke without the sugar content, I think they have finally come up with something close.

I've tried Coke Life. The missus likes it. I don't know how much more healthy it is. I've seen a thing saying the stevia used to sweeten it is processed and in powder form, which may be mixed with something.
I think its just another marketing ploy. Now they have Zero, Diet and Life, all claiming different levels of sugar.
F**k that, give me Vanilla Coke, Cherry Coke and bring back Lime Coke. Full sugar. I'll deal with the diabetes when the problem arises. For now, I'm gonna polish off this 2kg tub of Jelly Bellys from Costco.

You lost me at hello.
I acknowledge that the consumption of Coke in my house is of a disturbing level so anything that claims to be healthier and deliver the same satisfaction is a win in my books.

When certain pubs ask me "is Pepsi ok?" coz thats what they have on tap, I usually make a note to never go back to that establishment. Who the f**k made that decision?

I think Pepsi tastes like its just syrup and water. There's very little fizz (unless you get a can) and it loses its chill quicker than Coke.
At KFC, I always get large meals, but request a can (if I get Pepsi) coz the bottles are already hot and flat straight out of the fridge.
