Do you like your soda over ice (fountain drink), in a can, or in a bottle? We have a neato little gadget quiz on the side, so please weigh in. I very strongly prefer a good fountain drink, preferably in a styrofoam cup (sorry, Earth). I thought most people also had this preference, but I was shocked to find out on a recent trip that two of my best friends prefer the plastic bottles. How did I never know this about them. And why does this seem like a significant discovery?! I don't know, but it is. They like the fact that coke (no, not necessarily Coca-Cola, but some of us refer to any soda as "coke") from a bottle tastes exactly the same every single time. It's dependable. Me - I'm a fairly slow drinker, and coke from the bottle does not stay cold long enough for me. I like mine as cold as can be, and there's also just something about having that ice in there to keep my coke company. But they're right. Sometimes you get a fountain drink that's just "off." That can totally ruin one's snack, meal, or if you really have nothing else better to get cranky about, DAY. Oh, and lets not forget the ol' can. I think I would actually prefer a can over a bottle, but I'm not sure why. But then you get into the issue of whether rats or other pests have pooped on your can while in transit or storage. And that's just gross, so I'll leave it at that. Oh, but wait. When I do have a can, I tap on the top before opening it. Someone once told me that would keep it from spewing. Is this true? My dear husband humorously mocks me almost every time I do this out of habit. Maybe we should do a test science-fair-project style. But I would rather someone just tell me if they already know. So if you know, please share!
Hope all of your "cokes" are just right today (and free from corn floaties, for that matter)!
