Fortune Cookie IV

Still no correction feature came up after posting. There is a line called
Notifications OFF I don't know what that is?

Mory, you should be in bed!

I bet you remember the cherry, chocolate & lemon cokes too. I bet they tasted a lot better back then too.

Like Mark Twain said, "Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter"

My edit thingie is working fine. Kinda curious

I had a salty dinner and forgot and had a Coke - now the " Caf" will have me up for hours - its past 2:15 in am and am still wired - just went outside its been drizzling rain for 3 days - I should be greatful its not snow. Still no edit button to be found.. I'm taking the Laptop to a repair shop still have some questions and will try again to get the wireless feature activated. I am voting my new IBM Laptop the most unfriendly product of the century.
They don't give you ANY manual - all instructions are stored inside. Well if I could find it I wouldn't need it...etc..

Mory, I am not allowed to mention the C**ke name cuz I live in the town where Pepsi was invented! I think the penalty is death! Lol!

Coke was my drink of choice for 30+ years. (I was one that thought 'New Coke' was better.) About a year ago I became a Pepsi Mug fan. No caffeine, so had to increase my coffee intake.

So your the one!

I am switching to Pepsi as they have a No Cal - No Caf its just brown ..also like the
no caf mug Root Beer. Last month I bought a Pepsi 3 Pak for $10 at the Hess
station - when I got home I realized -they shrunk the can from 16 to 12 OZ cans . No wonder it is on sale. Today the clerk said they made them to fit small refrigerators - carry cases and children. She should have added blind seniors who can't read 12OZ in half inch letters. Next they will put it in Baby bottles. Bet you didn't know that it is sold some places uncarbonated - Yuck.

Worse than Yuck. I don't buy the 2 liter bottles for that reason.

Funny, funny!

I am wondering what others are paying?

Well, for a CAN of coke we pay between $1.20 and $2.00. For a 600ml Bottle (which is the going craze) we pay between $2.50 and $2.75.

Now - go to a sporting function or somewhere similar and you will pay approx $5!!

Fountain drinks arent very popular here, probably 5% of places have them. Those are Hungry Jacks (Burger King) and the Cinema etc.

High when the can costs more than the product -in the US they blame prices on the trucking.
We just had our local McDonalds renovated.
It's a 1950's retro complete with Soda Fountain -Ice Cream Bar. No more serve yourself - anything. You also have to ASK
for everything (catsup - mustard - relish) Only thing self serve is Napkins, straws and salt - pepper. On the counter is a large cooler of pre-packaged salads and deserts. I miss the free refills on coffee or soda. Gotta pay for all that new decor I guess.

I'm not a cola drinker (I'm a Solo man myself). So I can't comment on amy of the above.

So why am I contributing this, I hear you ask?

I was wondering if it was true that dipping copper coins (pennies) in Cocacola made them come out all nice and shiny, or was that yet another urban myth?

Dammit!...I mean "ANY of the above" of course.

I have a coke bottle with a straw inside from about 1951 I bought for $5. Maybe it's time to put that on EBAY.

I happen to hear that some Yank put his vote up for auction on Ebay. Apparently that was a first, and apparently he broke some law. I just love free enterprise and the profit incentive.

Notifications OFF I don't know what that is?

---

The only “notification” I’m aware of on this forum is the email notification when something is posted. Each member can select that for a given topic or for other members. Private topics also has that.

What about the “Reply With Quotes” and the “Report This Post” icons?

I think all you get is sticky pennies.

It also used to be said coke would remove rust from a car bumper. Don't believe that one either.

Nope - it works!! My Mum used to use it as scare tactics when we were little (no copper pennies anymore). She used to say "See what it does to these coins! Imagine what it does to your stomach".

Although, after *googling*, it appears Coca Cola have adjusted their recipe since those days.

Dunno about the rust though, all my bumpers are plastic

I used to work with a guy who cleaned a lot of metal car parts by letting them sit in a container of Coke. He said that you have to rinse them off really well afterward, otherwise the Coke will keep eating away at them.

Gardengnome, I don't know if Coke would make copper coins shiny again, but somebody told me that baking shiny new coins in the oven will cause them to turn interesting colors. I tried it and it works! It gives them a sort of rainbow effect.

Lexie, do you think it could eat the paint off of those plastic bumpers? It might be worth a try if you plan to repaint one anyway, unless it eats through plastic.
