I went to a AYCE sushi place today and ordered a Diet Coke. I don't drink anything but water/beer/wine/carbonated water/coffee usually, but I grew up drinking Diet Coke and sometimes get the urge. Never drank regular coke at anytime in my life.

Anyway, the waitress gave me a coke and said they didn't have Diet Coke. I told her I'd have a water and I didn't want the coke, but she said it was free and take it anyway. I took a few sips and just didn't like the taste and especially the idea that I was drinking all this sugar for something so mediocre (at best).

It also made me think about how people actually drink coke and other sodas with their meal. It's such a terrible pairing and isn't refreshing or anything, I don't get it.

I think Mexicans drink more of it. Because they can't drink they're own water or don't even have plumbing

Because it's too expensive. It was like $250 at launch or some shit, and the little things that made a single glass were $2 or so.

It was just WAY too expensive.

If they wanted to cheap out, they could get a soda stream (or any sort of CO2 tank and a few valves, most people are just too lazy) and buy pepsi/coke/dr pepper syrup/concentrate. It's around $100 for 5 gallons of pepsi concentrate syrup. I bought a 5 gallon pack in 2015 and it's STILL around my garage. I think i've used about two gallons so far, including for when friends and family come over and shit.

That's like saying a can of spray deodorant is as bad for ozone layer as a cow's anus.

So why don't Coca-Cola and Pepsi make their drinks available in syrup form to costumers (i don't want to buy 5 gallons) so they can add it to carbonated water from a Sodastream?
Seems like a lot of people would probably get it, i hate having to transport big bottles from the store to my house.

>> No.8593804

>>8593791
Beats me. Probably something to do with cost efficiency. I know back in the 80s they used to have a service you could subscribe to where they'd drop off a single gallon of syrup for coca cola in the US, for like $25/month, it was more meant for restaurants and shit like that but they made stops at residential areas all the time.

It hasn't been a thing for a while though, so you have to go through third party resellers.

Also the whole "making your own soda" thing is sorta niche, because soda is so dirt cheap in bottles. For a 1l bottle it's 99c most places. People don't have interest in making their own for so much more hassle, for marginally cheaper prices over an extended period.

What a dumb tag line. It'd only make sense to buy that if it cost less than canned/bottled Coke.
