Yabu as i say it... Grin. Only way i get the one i want....

Possibly more controversially Grin - why the fk does anyone still drink fat Coke now that Zero has been invented?!

Diet Coke was nasty, but Zero is perfect - all the taste with none of the fat-making-ness of fat Coke!

I thought zero and diet were the same thing...

Fully leaded coke in this household.

Sallystyle · 15/10/2014 18:50

Pepsi max.. all of the taste and none of the calories.

As long as you don't believe in the aspartame myth that it is poison because people on the internets say so with no proof to back it up.

Diet coke and zero coke taste like water compared to pepsi max.

And yeah, nothing wrong with full fat coke. Although sometimes we call it red coke.

londonrach · 15/10/2014 18:59

Koala ive tried diet, life and zero but nothing but the full fat hits the spot. I dont drink any hot drinks and mostly drink water (tap) but sometimes a full fat coke is perfect...

Fat coke here as opposed to skinny coke. Nothing to with the fat content of the can and everything to do with the fat content it will increase on my body.

WitchWay · 15/10/2014 19:00

I don't drink coke awful stuff but always ask for fat tonic with my gin Grin

We take it one step further in my house - we call the respective drinks fat cock and skinny cock cos it makes us snigger like fools. Disclaimer: we have no kids so such infantile behaviour is acceptable Grin

twizzleship · 15/10/2014 19:13

i only drink REAL coke/Irn bru etc and that's how i refer to it anytime it needs saying Smile

CherryDolphin · 15/10/2014 19:15

Saying "makes my teeth itch" makes my teeth itch.

Maybe someone should start a thread about that.

SomethingAboutNothing · 15/10/2014 19:15

It's fat coke or diet coke in this house. And we have recently discovered the green coke which is a lovely in - between.

SpringBreaker · 15/10/2014 19:16

I dont need to read the internet to know that aspartame makes me feel very ill. It isnt a myth for me, and I avoid all products that contain any artificial sweetener.

SaucyJack · 15/10/2014 19:17

YANBU.

I call the red one filthy coke.

mentaldental22 · 15/10/2014 19:19

Here in wales it's norrrmall coke (sound like cork) or dai-at coke.

globalphenomenon · 15/10/2014 19:19

"can I get a coca cola heavy please" as they say on the continent.

wanttosinglikemarycoughlan · 15/10/2014 19:21

'makes my teeth itch'makes mine itch too its worse than full fat coke
HTH - another rage inducing one

Boltsum · 15/10/2014 19:22

YANBU I agree with you OP. It's bloody annoying.

londonrach · 15/10/2014 19:22

Experience has shown if you just say coke you get the question diet or full fat so i stop that by just saying full fat...simples really.....

SuperLoveFuzz · 15/10/2014 19:22

Oh I'm so glad it's not just me, hate when people say this!

yellowsnownoteatwillyou · 15/10/2014 19:30

Jo brand once said "no I don't want diet coke! I want full fat with a bloody sausage roll in"

So it's always fat coke to me

londonrach · 15/10/2014 19:32

What ive learnt today...people will be cross when i order my full fat coke and chocolate cake which is a treat and very rare....please forgive mntters....

Castlemilk · 15/10/2014 19:33

Yes fat coke and thin coke.

It's like cooking lager. Everybody knows what you mean!

WasherCap · 15/10/2014 19:42

WTF is cooking lager?
