Coca-Cola's Coffee Soda
Boost writes "According to a new press release Coca-Cola is about to launch a new beverage called Coca-Cola Blak that adds real coffee to the blend. Carbonated coffee?" I imagine this will be quite different than the cans of hot coffee that makes walking around in Tokyo so delicious. But hey, cans of coffee! I'm in for one at least.
Appropriate post for someone named Boost I suppose.
Seriously though, I don't know that I want to mix two of my favorite beverages. I like my Coca-Cola (diet original).....and I looooove my coffee, Kona in particular. Sure, I'll give it a go, but I am not so sure I want to mix the two.....

I remember trying some of this horrible brew.
Then again, this sort of thing is pretty popular in Japan - so maybe its just taste...
In 1996, I was in Philadephia for the summer, and it was a test city for Pepsi's own Coffee Cola: Pepsi Kona. It was actually quite good, and my friends and I liked it. It must not have tested well enough, cuz it never was fully developed. After the Crystal Pepsi fiasco a few years earlier, Pepsi decided not to market new products countrywide, and always start with a few test cities. Hopefully, this coke one will taste as decent as the Pepsi one.
While I agree with your comment in general, in this case it's not an umlaut. The bar over a letter is called a macron.
Funny you should mention this.... I am back at college after 10 years and my Macro Economics professor just used this tariff in our last class as en example of bad governmental policy. The whole thing is just assinine.

Carbonation has a way of making the stomach absorb things faster. This is why champaigne gives a buzz faster than wine, and why a Coke will amp you up more rapidly than orange juice, which has about the same amount of sugar. So carbonation and high caffeination should be a winning combination, buzz-wise. You can imagine, though, how hard users will crash.
This is not my sandwich.
it's not just tarrifs, brazillian cane sugar is being converted into ethanol, which the vast majority of brazillian drivers use because the cost is so much lower. Brazil wants to export ethanol to the states too, because they'd make as much or more money as they were making exporting sugar before we had rediculous tarrifs. of course big corn doesn't want cheap brazilian ethanol flooding their market. ethanol production has propped up the corn price, which is already at pretty impressive lows, and big corn states like minnesota are planning on going to E20 and more states are mandating the use of E10, so basically the only way to allow brazillian ethanol imports without a tarrif would be to require a nation wide e-10 or better roll out.. not something the corn lobby could easily push through as say a tarrif on ethanol.
Just going to E-10 would shift billions of dollars into local agroculture and away from mid-east oil dependancy, and it's been proven that e-10 has reduced emmisions over straight up gasoline. would be nice if we had a president who would have championed alternative fuels instead of passing billions in oil industry subsidies*...
*= if one counts the iraq war is an oil indiustry subsidy, because it basically is.

Exactly. One of the things I miss about living in NYC was that it was easy to buy Kosher Coke any time of the year. Pure cane sugar, baby!
