Coke Blak update

Hi Tom,

just got an email update, first in like a year, from the CFBAA (Carbonated Fusion Beverage Association of America) and there was some Coke Blak info I thought you'd want to see...


> Coke Blak was reportedly seen in limited quantities at branches of the >Target franchise retail store in the premium beverage aisle, alongside cases >of Godiva Mocha Late and Mike's Hard Lemon Ice Tea drinks.  It was being >sold in cases of 4 miniature 8 oz. glass bottles.  No concrete information >could be obtained on plans to restock in the future.


godspeed!

I bought around 5 glass bottles of that stuff ("stuff" is all I can call it) for 50c each in France during the summer. They were guineapigging the French with it on special offer. I thought it was that Coke Zero, but I ended up leaving one bottle for the bees and the rest in the fridge.

But it works for Tom, so no dissing from me.

I tried it. I liked it.  (Tastes like Coke + cotton candy to me)

It's just a little too expensive.

My boyfriend and I just recently bought 2 of the four packs of Coke Blak at Traget.  He bought it before at Target, but this week they were on sale for $3.99, which makes them about $1 per bottle.  It's really good, and I think he is a bit bummed that they are discontinuing it.  He's not much of a soda drinker either!

I've seen plenty of this stuff here in Portland, OR.  Mostly at Safeway.  I don't drink soda, so I've never had it. 

Just thought I would share... check your local Safeway.

I feel like a chump...  I scored some CokeBlak for Tom up in Canadaland and now it seems he's off it.  I, too, had a kidney stone and the culprit was caffeine.  Dehydrates your system like a mother and causes micro-mineral residue that forms into stones.  Dollars to donuts says the Kid got nailed from too much caffeine.

Anybody got any suggestions as to what I should do with this CokeBlak?  Send it to Tom anyway and let him sacrifice it on-air?

Guys, don't tell me that. I live off of Diet Coke with Lime.

HOLY CRAP!!! If you cut me I bleed Monster and Diet Coke.

So so scared.

[Laurie]

I drink Diet Coke with Lime for breakfast. Seriously, you guys. I don't want no stones.

Maybe just up the vodka to Diet Coke ratio?

But... I only have one liver! Decisions, decisions.

[John Junk]

I drink like 2-3 cups of coffee and a cup of sody a day. 
But I make up for all that caffeine by getting drunk twice a week.

Oh yeah, and I started smoking 1-2 cigs a day again.

...I'm so screwed.

[Sarah]

One or two cigarettes ain't gonna hurt you, son.

Also, what's your definition of "drunk"?  'Round these parts, people claim to be stone-cold sober after ten bee-ah and to be enjoying merely a mild "buzz" after a case.

[Richard_From_CHI]

How did we go from Coke Blak to the parade of vices, for shame.

Seriously though, with a kid on the way I've never been more wholesome.
