Colas & Soft Drinks

Have a very coca cola Christmas! (Coca Cola Christmas advert)

Advantages: Evokes feelings of childhood into all of us!
Disadvantages: Political Correctness has gone mad.

Before I start I just want to say, I know this is in a slightly wrong place, been about the Coca Cola christmas adverts, rather than Cola itself, but please have mercy, there was nowhere else to put it as a Christmas advert, and is still about Coca Cola the company!! So please think of this as in the correct place!!! As it is coming back to that magical time of year again, I am yet to see the first showing of the annual Christmas Coca Cola ...
...CHRISTMAS!!! The Coca Cola Christmas Advert Ever since I remember there has been an annual Christmas advert for Coca Cola, it starts to be aired in November, usually early November, and although this year I have heard from a few people that the advert has been played, I haven't seen it myself. The advert has been the same for a few years now (except the one year when sacrilege occurred and it wasn't on at all...!), and ever since I remember ...

Review of Coca-Cola

Do not feel guilty, take a Diet Coke!

Advantages: A good diet drink!
Disadvantages: Not appropiate for children

...and here is where the Coca-Cola, Diet comes in! This drink has zero calories, very refreshing and the taste? is not sweet and do not leaves the unpleasant sensation of a regular diet drink. Remember, we can have a healthy life, without gaining weight; we just need to be aware every day about our regular meals, drinks and exercise. In the food industry we have the opportunity to choose any kind of food, but please take those who are healthy for ...

Review of Coca-Cola, Diet

Not quite zero taste, and definitely not zero chemicals

Advantages: Zero fat and calories, coca cola taste
Disadvantages: High chemical content, no nutritional value

Coca Cola Zero has been dubbed the diet coke for boys. However it is in fact lower in calories and fat than regular diet coke. However it is worryingly high in chemicals and artificial flavourings and sweeteners. Having looked a little further into these I would prefer to drink diet coke with the slightly worse nutritional value than all these cancer causing additives. One can (not bottle) of coke zero contains: Calories - 0 Fat - 0 g Sugar - ...
...Sodium - 32 mg Protein - 0 mg Potassium - 37 mg However taste wise Coke Zero is slightly better than diet coke, with a more 'real' coke taste. Despite the ingredients it tastes fuller and less artificial than diet coke. Somehow though it does seem more bubbly! This is a good product despite entering a fairly saturated market for diet fizzy drinks, especially with the market leader being cola flavoured ones. The packaging is the usual coke swoosh, ...

Review of Coca-Cola Zero

Just WHAT is that flavour?

Advantages: Great after a night out.
Disadvantages: Far too sugary to drink regularly.

Irn Bru, the national drink of the Scottish, is by no means limited to my friends north of the border; whether you're English, Irish, or Scottish, you can't help but love this drink. Its hard to place flavour is a little bit lemony, a little bit limey, a hint of orange and iron, plus a little bit creamy, and the list goes on. Available from most newsagents, supermarkets, and pretty much anywhere that sells soft drinks (useful after a night out as ...
...hangovers quite considerably), price will not vary much, and will range from £0.30 for a 330ml can to £1.50 for a 500ml bottle. Watch out for deals on in local pound shops and stock up when you can! It's also possible to get a 30p refund on bottles of Irn Bru bought now (though sadly this is limited to Scotland it seems) which makes drinking all that sugar just that little bit less unhealthy (you could pay for a gym membership!) ...

Review of Barr Irn Bru

Pepsi Max is the best!

Advantages: great taste and flavour. Trendy advertising
Disadvantages: none

...the best by far is Pepsi Max. Some colas I find can be a little watery and lack flavour but this not this case with Pepsi Max. It is a great alternative too for people who like 'full fat' coke and would like to cut out the sugar as it does not taste like a normal sugar free drink. With its great bold advertising and promotions running all the time I think this product has appeal to a younger market such as teenagers. Slogans such as "Live life to ...
