I've never understood why Cherry Coke was only briefly brought here...
Everyone I know wants it (at least if they drink coke). I can't think of a single person who is a coke fan that has said 'omg that cherry coke idea was the worst ever'.

Vanilla coke on the other hand was very much love it or hate it. I found it was okay to have one can every once in a while but otherwise it was terrible.

Put me down as not a fan of Cherry Coke.. It's not super horrible or anything, but i'd probably take at least 5 or 6 soft drinks before it.

It may have been Coke. Cuba cannot import Coca-cola or Pepsi from the states because of the embargo so they make their own, It tastes way better than what they make here from my understanding.

Also, if you guys miss it that much, just get a Cherry Mio and add it to your coke. It will tie you over.

After a quick internet search, it was Ciego Montero's TuKola. That stuff was good, especially with some rum

I found TuKola awful when I was in Cuba, as I did with all soft drink I had. Something was very off about that TuKola.

I was obsessed with Vanilla Coke when I was young.

Thank god I got out of that habit. Except beer took its place so that's likely worse, but a lot more fun.

Sugar cane as a sweetener is very different tasting than high Fructose corn syrop.

I for one can't stand anything with aspartame, so I imagine some people would be the same with sugar cane.

I imagine your reaction would have been to sugar cane. I'd love to have more non-HFCS options here in Canada.

Do we have anything that's actually sweetened with sugar cane?
Glucose-Fructose is how we label HFCS here, so it's in about everything.

Lots of room on the Rams bandwagon.

Such a shame about Sam Bradford. First year he's had an oline and receiver help too. Bradford was well on his way to being a top 5 quarterback. That being said, Shaun Hill isn't a bad option to fall back on. They have a great running game led by Zac Stacy and the best defensive front four in all of football, and it's not even close.

They are in a brutal divison though. Easily the toughest in the NFL. If the Rams were in the NFC East, they'd go at least 12-4.
:( Bradford. Still, if Hill can be a decent game manager and not throw a bunch of picks, our offence will be okay. Not great, but we weren't exactly relying on the pass game to bring us far this year.
What I miss? Cherry Coke. There, I said it.
Preach.

You are an awful human being. A scourge on these boards. A scoundrel. A fiend. And you're a cotton-headed ninny muggins.
I have a legitimate aspartame addiction.

As does another regular lounge poster.
I can't help it. Aspartame is awesome.

I know you were talking about someone else.

I think the Kosher coca cola around passover is sugar cane, and Jones soda I think makes a cane sugar soda too. Hard to find anything though.

Its beer and scotch on the rocks for me. Any type of regular ale or lager will do. For Scotch, Lagavulin and Laphroaig with their peaty, iodine flavour and nose! Not for everyone; just for those who enjoy strongly flavoured scotch. If you cannot eat blue cheese, you will not appreciate these two whiskeys. :)
