    I love the juxtaposition of sugar free Coke with sugar added Jack Daniels. Dodging and weaving against diabetes.

      I just like the taste of coke zero, ill eat candy/dessert still, save the calories id get out of drinking coke, gotta have some vices or you’ll be an uptight bitch

        Coke zero is worse for your health. Artificial sweeteners have pretty bad health effects, especially the one used in coke.

        It is heavily suspected of being able to cause, heart issues, and having the counter intuitive effect to actually make your brain want more sugar, because the complete sugar activation mechanism isn’t triggered properly. It is also slightly suspected to cause cancer, although researchers don’t agree at all on this subject.

      Coke zero is the best one until you get alcohol involved, then you’re fucking up if you’re not using full fat coke

        That stuff is so cloyingly sweet you’d have to mix it with water to approach something drinkable. A true alcoholic would have a handle of dewars white.

        I think I have a mutation in a taste bud or something, but Sucralose is really a prominent and nasty taste to me in anything it’s in. Really frustrating to taste it in otherwise sugary drinks, like some of the Monster flavors.

        For reference, I also think cilantro tastes like soap. No clue if that’s an indicator or not.

        pepsi max genuinely makes me want to vomit. i once only had the option to take a pepsi max at a KFC, took a few sips and felt so disgusted i didn’t even want to eat anymore. threw it out, packed my food, and went to buy a coke on the way home

        are my taste buds broken? or do people really like the flavour of what i can only describe as a 6 year old’s bathroom potion of various chemicals, died black, sweetened, and carbonated

        I hear this but I don’t understand. All diet soft drinks taste absolutely disgusting to me. I’ve had both Coke Zero and Diet Coke and both have that disgusting fake sugar aftertaste.

        I either get non-Diet soft drinks or I go sparkling water. I can’t do that fake sugar shit. It’s nasty.

        But the one exception for me is that I put fake sugar in my coffee. The bitter aftertaste of the coffee helps mask the aftertaste of the fake sugar.

      Unironically. Half the appeal of booze has historically been that its cheap.

      • slashasdf@feddit.nl ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Yep, it’s very easy and cheap to produce alcohol, the only reason it’s expensive now is due to countries adding high excise taxes and the like to alcoholic drinks

    I work at a grocery store and honestly I didn’t even bat an eye, the first thing I thought about was how to bag it.

    In case you’re wondering if we care about what you’re buying the only (non regular) customer that I remember is one Irish guy who would crack jokes about his ex wife on a roadtrip. Don’t fully remember but my God he made like 4 zingers in a row and I about cried laughing at like 7:30am

    That Tennessee Honey is one of my favorite whiskey drinks. However due to America being a total shit head, I can no longer buy it as I don’t want any of my money going there.

    Anybody got an idea of what a good European drink is to replace it with? I drink it straight or when I want something more mellow I mix with fake DrPepper or fake Red Bull.

      Started making my own sloe gin last year, cheapest Aldi gin and then forage for sloes. Fill a large container about half way by volume with the berries and then fill to the top with gin. Seal, turn it to mix a few times and let it sit there for like 3-6 months. Taste and bottle with sugar, quantity depends on how sweet you want it but probably a few hundred g per litre.

    It’s a lot cheaper if you just make your own moonshine instead. Guy on reddit used to post pictures of his 100L water butt bubbling away, cost something stupidly low to fill it considering the volume, like £25 or something like that. Then he distilled it in batches.

    The entire setup was comically simple too, like plug and play from parts you can easily buy and ingredients you find in any supermarket.

      Isn’t that kinda dangerous? Also potentially illegal depending on where you live.

      source
      • Rinox@feddit.it ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        It’s definitely dangerous if you don’t know what you are doing. As in, “you can die” kind of dangerous.

        But if you know what you are doing, nah, it’s perfectly safe, and kind of easy to do too.

        Probably most definitely illegal in most places too, but if you just shut the f up and don’t blabber about it to everyone you meet or try to sell or give it away, there’s pretty much nothing they can do about it, cause they don’t know about it, and neither does anyone else.
