I'm sorry if my point is too high for you to reach.

I intend to give westopher's emo album a go, but I was not encouraged when he mentioned Bon Iver because that guy does nothing whatsoever for me and I've never understood the reverence people give to him lol

I couldn't get the gold Coke anymore so I tried gold Pepsi... meh... not bad!

Badhobz 08-14-2023 06:45 AM

Crystal Pepsi or die.

The ways the industry has changed I don't think you can really compare people who were sensations in different eras. Not that long ago it was hear an artist every so often on the radio or TV, if you like them buy a CD or some merch if a store near you is selling it. Go to a show if they happen to be nearby. It needed to be made available to you, you needed to have the money to spend on it and you'd only buy each thing they put out once. Now anyone in the world who has an internet connection can be advertised to and listen to anything they want and endlessly send the artist listens/ad revenue 24/7, at no cost to themselves.

I think a lot of those things make it even harder to achieve the status she has because no one is really force fed content like they used to be

:okay:

I kinda like the way it looks - I wouldn't call it attractive but I also don't think it looks like Sarah Jessica Parker. I think it looks nice in blue or green.

I was dropping off my rental Ioniq5 this morning at Boundary Hyundai and they were unloading a couple new ones from the hauler and they seemed to have some selection of them in the lot.

I'm guessing it's harder for someone new to achieve it, but maybe not for the person already achieving it. Before what you were exposed to was limited but there was always at least a bit of a mix there. Nowadays it's pretty easy to get the algorithms serving up very little variety.

Tonnes, I mean tonnes, of regular Coke, but nothing else......... no Coke Zero or Diet Coke in any configuration. Imma going to get me a flat of Diet Coke in cans at Costco. If Costco is out of stock, there's going to be some panic, I tells ya.............. I might have to drink No Name shit............. but come hell or high water, no Pepsi. SAY NO TO PEPSI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There were still flats and flats of Coke and Coke Zero at Costco when I went yesterday.

I thought with aspartame being labeled as a possible carcinogen people would stop drink diet coke. I hate the taste of aspartame anyways.

MG1 08-14-2023 10:19 AM

Nothing in this world, and I mean nothing, is good for you, except maybe Flip's Sausages...........and kkthind's tandoori chicken. Only because of the company and the location (Squint Lake). Fellas, I still have the Revscene Holy Grill.

Diet Coke is the least of my worries......



Em Gee Juan OUT!

going to Costco now. tee hee

EvoFire 08-14-2023 12:41 PM

Quick bit MG1, I went to Richmond Costco in case you need to be sure there's stock if you go. Can't vouch for Still Creek or Brighton.

Razor Ramon HG 08-14-2023 01:25 PM

Are there such things as a reputable office liquidator where I can grab a used Steelcase or Herman Miller?

Richmond? Richmond? Did you say, Richmond?

I love Diet Coke, but not that much, gulolol. Plus, they're sold out.

Sold out everywhere except Abbotsford.

I called Safeway............. girl who answered the phone goes, the truck just arrived. Hang on while I check. ten minutes later she goes, lots of Coca Cola products, but no Diet Coke.

I'll survive. I survived Covid, till now, and I'll survive this Diet Coke drought. I can try PC Diet Cola or even Western Family, if need be. Hell, I might even pick up a fridge pack of US Diet Coke from Fred Meyer. But no Diet Pepsi. It could be that McDonald's Diet Coke in the US just sucks. Cans might be okay. Still soda prices are high in the US with exchange rate and all. Oh, I get Diet Coke at the laundromat in Lummi and it's palatable.

I might have to resort to drinking water..............................

68style 08-14-2023 02:10 PM

Diet Pepsi is starting to taste pretty good man. It's like beer... or your own piss... you get used to it eventually... right?

:D

don't they have coke zero? that's pretty much diet coke amirite?

Razor Ramon HG 08-14-2023 02:24 PM

I am a Coke connoisseur and trust me, diet and zero tastes nothing alike.

Why drink diet anyways, it tastes like shit.

Just drink a normal Coke, but less often, god damnit.

Razor Ramon HG 08-14-2023 02:40 PM

I think diet tastes like shit because it's actually a new formula they made in the 80s.

Coke Zero uses the original Coke formula with a different sweetener.

And if you like diet Pepsi, the worst of both worlds, I'ma have to block you.

I see what you did there...BBC genetics :lol

The truth is I'd far rather a real coke occasionally as opposed to crushing a nasty diet one more frequently.

I suppose some people just like the taste of diet, yuck.

underscore 08-14-2023 03:19 PM

Pop made with cane sugar is the way to go, if you can find it. It tastes so much better than HFCS or aspartame.

murd0c 08-14-2023 03:27 PM

Mexican coke is made with cane sugar

unit 08-14-2023 03:47 PM

some people are totally addicted to aspartame. i was in the states for work once and one of the tech guys, super smart dude, very neatly dressed, military style clean haircut, athletic slim build, stands up straight, etc etc... had like 2 flats of diet coke under his desk and i would see him drinking at least 2 a day (prob drinks way more). gross habit, probably has shit teeth by now from all the acid wear.

winson604 08-14-2023 03:48 PM

Went to Bellingham Costco a few months ago and they sell flats of the mexican coke.
