I really don't know why this news group was created to discuss Coca-Cola.
I mean we all know there is only one choice for the new generation:
Pepsi-Cola
Anyone who denies this is just submitting to group pressure. Everyone says
they like Coca-Cola because everyone else says they like Coca-Cola, but
in fact nobody really likes the stuff.
And I challenge anyone to deny that that's not the truth!!!

I don't really understand this New Generation stuff.... I can't speak for thos eoutside this country, but real American s drink coke! Coke was there with Americans when Americans fought overseas. Coke was there when we were sick kids and the doctor said "Give the kid warm Coke to sip..." Coke made Coke-shaped bottles for us to hold. Old Italian men in Brooklyn continue to mix COKE with there Zinfandel... not the other colas. All I'm saying is real Americans will drink Coke no matter whqat they put in the bottle and label Coke. And I'm a real American. Thank *you* for being one too. -Fred (Oh, by all means :-). I don't want Lionel Richie calling me...)

I have a friend who has nothing but Pepsi products around the house,
so he is constantly mixing things with Pepsi. Word of advice...
DO NOT mix rum and Pepsi. What is even worse are sweeter drinks like
whiskey and Pepsi. The sweetness is overpowering. When New Coke came
out, I was too scared to mix with it, cause it was sweeter than Pepsi!csdf@mit-vax.UUCP (Charles Forsythe) (07/25/85)

He ordered a Guiness Stout and mixed it with the Budweiser in the pitcher. "Guiness will mix with anything and make it taste better!" he claimed. I said,"What about Coke?" "I've had a Guiness and Coke," he replied, "but NEVER mix it with Pepsi -- it's rather nasty." What can you say?

What *does* the 10, 2, and 4 stand for? I recall being implored to drink
Dr. Pepper at 10, 2 and 4 ... but why?

>We all know there is only one choice for the new generation: > Pepsi-Cola >Anyone who denies this is just submitting to group pressure. Everyone says >they like Coca-Cola because everyone else says they like Coca-Cola... You're right, of course. Only we old folks, who have nostalgic memories of Coca Cola mixed with everything from castor oil to vanilla ice cream (though my SO likes it with salt water, the only way she can drink it in her tank) like Coke, because it reminds us of Marthasville and Terminus. Pepsi is the choice of a new generation. Of course, this is the second generation who it is the choice of; before that it was "for those who think young." As I mentioned, those people, who didn't have the moxie to drink Coke in the first place, eventually matured, became content with their age and with mellower and richer flavors, and now drink Coke. So Coke has a bright future ahead when all you young people get to be 99 or so.* That is why the Classic Coke commercials play a song you young people wouldn't remember, "Happy Days are Here Again," which you all think is the anthem of the Democratic Party. (Well, that's not as bad as the folks who think their digital watches play Elvis Presley's "Love me Tender," I guess. But then, they probably don't understand what the 10, 2, and 4 stand for, either.) *Except the folks in California, who by that time will have their coke flavored with lime. -- Shyy-Anzr: J.
