And coffee was either black, decaffeinated, or with/without cream and sugar.
Well, my late father drank RC Cola.
Many people where I live drink A-Treat now that it’s gone back into production, too.
If I ever buy cola, I go for the generic store brand too.
While Starbucks is reacting to the desires of a few, how about making them go American-large medium and small on the cup sizes too! I have never been to Portugal or Brazil. I don’t need their cup sizes.
Drink a Mexican coke (why are Mehicans making tastier cokes than Mericans?)
(cane sugar v high fructose)
Moxie !!
Back around 1990 my company sent us all to diversity training put on by the ADL. Those things are as effective with adult human beings as a class given to illegal Mexicans in California to teach them to love Trump’s policies.
They are an exercise in futility and, further, are insulting. They ignore our humanity.
And that is basically what I told them back then, but in a way that wouldn’t get me fired.
Radical here drinking tea and having a preference for Dr. Pepper.
As for the “black” guys, it’s proper etiquette to buy something if you’re using the restroom and taking up seating space. Either they’re that stupid or their mamas didn’t teach them manners.
Agree on cheaper generic brands. Why throw money at nothing but a trademark?
In addition, I'm going through the novel I'm writing, and changing all the references to Starbucks to something else. My characters can find somewhere else to get a cup of coffee.
HEB grocery stores are now making some of their store brand sodas with cane sugar. The taste is night and day for those who are too young to remember the original taste.
I start every day with about 3/4 of a pot of folgers. Black. Then move to diet coke around lunch time.
“Then move to diet coke around lunch time.”
Diet sodas don’t work. The only people you see drinking them are fat people!
I’m not fat!! Not at all
It was a joke! Nothing personal!!
Lol
I love Cherry RC.
This episode (among many others like it) reminds me of a scene in the Battle of the Planet of the Apes (1973). In the scene, the character played by Paul Willaims says:
“You have spoken the unspeakable. In our years of slavery to man, the word “NO” was the one word we were conditioned to fear. Ceasar has forbidden its use in perpetuity. An ape may say “NO” to a human, but a human may never again say “NO” to an ape.”
Modify that line a little bit, and it is where we are headed.
When you ate in O'Neils, you asked for a "coke" with your burger. O'Neil gave you Pepsi.
Then Coca Cola came in and sued O'Neil for depriving Coca Cola of potential profits because when customers asked for their product, he substituted Pepsi.
They had deep pockets. He didn't. He shut down.
