I have wonderful, amazing news.
Incredible, spectacular, miraculous news.
As I was heading home yesterday, I stopped at the mini-mart and found out that my beloved Coke with Lime is back! Sometimes begging and pleading actually works. What I am not sure of is if this is old stock that the Coke Man is trying to get rid of... or if it really hasn't been discontinued, and they were just going to stop selling it at that one store until I complained.
Oh well, I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. For now, I'm just happy I can still buy it...
Coke with Lime kicks ass.
In other news: Ha ha. HAH HA HA HAAAHHH! BWAAAAAHH HAAAHH HA HAAAAAAHHH!
Maybe they should call it "Windows VAPOR"?
For crying out loud... just buy a Mac and be done with it.
As for me? I'm going to Daveland...
Oh Daveland...
It's the place to sing a happy song.
Grab your wallet and come along!
Oh Daveland...
It's the place to have a great day.
Bring your money to pay pay pay!
Oh Daveland...
It's the place where fun times begin.
Give us cash or you ain't gettin' in.
Oh Daveland...
Dave how we love you!
I agree on the coke with lime thing. But isn't it just good enough to add a bit of lime juice to the drink?
As far as I can tell, they don't sell readymade coke with lime around here. The only thing they have is coke with lemon. And that's just coke light with the nasty artificial sweetener taste :(
Dave--first, the Coca-Cola people are *not* messing with your head. Unless there really is some muckety-muck at the Coca-Cola bottling plant, or someone on the board, who reads Blogography and is just a HUGE fan. That would be awesome.
Also, I am disappointed at the seeming lack of monkeys, bad or otherwise, at Daveland. Or did I just miss them?
Dave, Dave, Dave...check the expiration/born on date on the bottle. Like many of the "fine" beers that I consume, it's on there, you gotta check the date!! duhhh Check it out!!

One of life's enduring imponderables is why do people still bother with PCs?
I guess we'll never know.
Congrats on the Coke with Lime. I hope you've stocked up.

Great news! Now you can drop those golden oreos and get back to the habit that really matters! I'm guessing the person at your mini-mart had no idea why they stopped selling it only to start back up either.
Another tidbit I learned from my husband: if the vendor buys his product directly from Coke then there will never be any item older than 3 months out for sale. Coke distributors go around to their clients on a regular basis and sort of "repo" anything that hasn't sold to take it back to the plant to be destroyed. However, if it's a small vendor who buys it locally from a cheap wholesaler and then resells it...there's no way for Coke to track dates on those purchases. I try to buy from places I know get the stuff directly from the bottler.
And each can/bottle has a code on it that if given to customer service can be tracked back to the exact person who worked the line to fill that exact coke.
Can you tell I'm a Coke nerd? Ha!

Daveland? - Well as they say, a man with full blown meglomaniacal delusions is rarely bored.

Right on, brother! Just got me a new baby. Gonna write about it soon.
I like the Diet Coke with Lime, but my favorite soda is Diet Cherry Pepsi. If that were discontinued, I'd have no reason to go on with life.
RE: Daveland -- it's so kickass. But, I recently found some insider information regarding a certain Dave-approved company with some theme-park action in the works. Even saw the blue print, gotta keep it on the down-low though, but if it happens, you will freak.
"New" Windows Hasta La Vista, it'll be old even before it's on it's way out...
I dunno, the name keeps making me think odd things like that.

Coke with Lime is the bomb. One of my favs along with Vanilla Coke (which has been officially discontinued) and the new Black Cheery Vanilla Coke. The smooth lime taste is really good. And it beats Pepsi with Lime hands down. The Pepsi variety is way too sweet.
Sandra... as for how long coke lasts, it all depends what type of container it's in and how it's stored. Those little 8oz coke bottles, stored in a box and not exposed to sunlight can actually be good up to 8 years after... I know, I had an extra bottle I saved (i collect them with the various years and designs) and tried one recently. Not flat and still had a fresh taste to it.
OTOH, DON'T try one that sat on a shelf exposed to sunlight. Not flat, but taste wasn't all that great.
