Dp wants to take ds age 3 to the touring coco cola truck next week. It's a 30 min drive.to nearest city and it's oh so very chilly these recent days. Am I being a miserable old bag in not wanting to go! In my mind I don't think there will be much to do? Just get afew photos and then What?? Has anybody been before? Would a 3 year old enjoy it?

Yep. Definitely not going now. It's getting really cold the last few days and I'm getting over a chest infection. Told dp I'm not going. He suddenly didn't seem that interested in taking little one on his own!

Its shit. Queued for ages for a mini can of coke and a picture. No rides or stalls just a lorry with lights.

a pickled onion truck instead

How about a pork pie transit van?

Just to add to everyone else - I wouldn't do it again. Our family have always been part of the "it's Xmas when you see the Coke ad" and last year due to the dates and our shifts we could finally see the Coca Cola truck. I y

We went a couple of years ago, it is just a very nice truck covered in lights.

ILoveMillhousesDad · 30/11/2017 15:43

It’s a lorry. Anyone that goes to see a lorry in celebration of Christmas is an idiot.

😂

Posted too soon - I took my DH, DD, DS and niece and was really excited. We got there all the kids shouted "is that it?" It was literally a truck we lights on the side and you queue for a picture and are given a mini can of Coke. I got my DS a Coca Cola truck oranament for a tenner on eBay and that's much better and we we are happy to just look at that now

A Very big shit in a car park.
Promoting sugar and ignoring obesity is awful.

Iamagreyhoundhearmeroar · 30/11/2017 15:46

It's a delivery lorry. I'd barely look out of the window if it passed down our street, tbh. Do people really make great expeditions to see it?
And they don't even hand out free coke?? Confused

HildaZelda · 30/11/2017 15:46

It's been in my city for the past few years and is coming again (this weekend I think?) Yup, it's shit. What I really can't understand is my 39 year old friend, her 40 something sister and 20 something niece seem to think it's the best thing ever. She posted pics on facebook last year about how excited she was to see it. Mind you, she's not the sharpest knife in the drawer at the best of times.

I wouldn't even bother to open my curtains if I knew the Coco-Cola truck was driving past.

This thread is brilliant!

m0therofdragons · 30/11/2017 16:15

It came to my town last Christmas which is a 10 minute drive. I didn't go because it's a lorry and nothing to do with Christmas and I don't intend to let dc drink coke so what's the point? I don't get it at all.

Commuterface · 30/11/2017 16:21

I love Christmas related things but yes, this looks really shit

joangray38 · 30/11/2017 16:28

daisypond · 30/11/2017 16:40

I've got no idea what this is. I've never heard of it.

MargotsDevil · 30/11/2017 16:42

Over 2 hours to escape the car park when it visited Glasgow a few weeks ago... I wouldn't bother Confused

Amanduh · 30/11/2017 16:50

We went last year in London and it was great! There were bins of free cans, people dressed up, christmas music blaring and people dancing, it was all lit up. It spread some festive cheer! But I wouldn't go just for the truck.. it is just a truck after all. It just happened to be there as we were shopping

eddiemairswife · 30/11/2017 16:59

I don't like coca cola.
