seeing "full fat coke" is guaranteed to wind me up..

[Slurpling]

because THERE IS NO FAT IN COKE! Imagine if there was, it'd all congeal at the top. Urgh.

Aibu?

You are definitely NBU! This annoys me too.

"Full fat coke" makes my bloody teeth itch.

No, it's full-fat coke. Everyone knows there is no fat in it but it's just what we say.

YABU

Yanbu, I'm glad it's not just me that gets irritated.

It is a weird turn of phrase, and I have imagined little globules of fat floating in the top of a bottle of Coke when people say it. It's not something I've ever heard in RL, I've only seen it on MN.

Why not just say "regular" Coke? Or just Coke, since "diet" is a variation of Coke, and Coke is the original. It's Coke or diet Coke or Cherry Coke or whatever.

Never heard of such a thing, is it some thing people say or is it written on the bottle? Of course YANBU.

Of course it's full fat! Same as 4 star petrol used to be full fat.

Don't be so literal!

I thought it was "fat coke" as opposed to skinny coke? Don't think anyone actually thinks coke contains fat do they?

You should call it

"coke with at least 33g of sugar in"

more accurate.

We say it here but it's 'fat' coke and 'thin' coke

YANBU .
But I still like to say it! Sorry :)

It's just something that is said.. everybody knows what it means don't they?

YANBU- Drives me batty. It's Coke. You want diet ask for Diet Coke. Simples!

We say it. We are well aware that it is full of sugar, not fat! It's just a turn of phrase.

I refer to it as leaded or unleaded...probably even more annoying

Of course it's totally daft. As there isn't any fat in coke whether it's low sugar or not. Don't know where this started.

We call it fat coke. Strangely, I don't like it being called full-fat coke either.

It's just a turn of phrase, no one (or very few) actually thinks it has fat in it.

We call it "full fat coke" in this house and have done for years. It came from someone asking me if I wanted that coke I just ordered as a diet?!
I once replied "No, full fat for me please!" and it just stuck. (It was like being asked whether I wanted full fat or semi skimmed milk, and my reflex was "full fat").

In Aus, I only hear 'fat Coke'. As in, the Coke that will make you fat, not the Coke that has fat in it.

Call it full-fat-making then. That's a fair description.

I don't think anyone seriously thinks there is fat in Coke. That doesn't stop it from making my teeth itch when people say it out loud.

Full fat coke! Amazing. That's so annoying.

I call it fat coke too Koala...but I have a lot to do with Australians.

It should definitely be hyphenated.

Teeth don't itch, so I find that saying weird.

I'm on the fence with this.
