I keep craving coke.

The drink, not the drug.
Has to be full fat, not caffeine free etc.
I wasn’t bothered about it before really, maybe had a nice cold coke a few times a year with a pizza takeaway or McDonald’s, but generally never drank fizzy drinks, if I did it was Sprite/7 up.
I drink one coffee a day and the rest is water, fizzy flavoured waters.
I keep buying it now and thinking about it 🤷🏻‍♀️I could just drink a cold coke now..so weird.
Definitely not pregnant, have been ill (flu/cough etc) since the New year-when it started really, is it this? What the hell

When I was pregnant I craved diet cock. I never ever drink fizzy juice. Now and then I’ll crave it again and the husband gets worried.

😂

If you want it, have it, there's no major harm in it unless you're diabetic maybe.

I had Corona a couple of months ago- my response to it was to eat to try and get some energy. Grin I recovered well.

So maybe your body or mind wants that thing because you've not been well. Go for it unless there are genuine serious health reasons why not. x

OldFan · 19/01/2023 23:06

One way or another, I've had too much diet cock in my life.

SpinningOutWaitinForYa · 19/01/2023 23:20

It is addictive. I get like this about diet coke. I wake up in the night thinking about it. I don't buy it and avoid drinking it as I don't think it's normal. I'm convinced whatever is in it that has that effect contributes to its global popularity.

limerentidiot · 19/01/2023 23:26

Oh i’m dying, @OldFan

frostyfours · 19/01/2023 23:27

I had this after getting covid! Took 18 months to go off it again.

Never been a fan of cock,

You're missing out 🤭😆

This thread just keeps on giving!

Ah! So interesting to read this - I had covid late last year and since then I’ve been craving coke too and I never drink fizzy drinks.
I’ve tried to limit it to one Coke Zero a week as a treat but at least once a day, I really really want an ice cold, full fat coke!

Exactly the same thing happened to me, word for word. I'm still craving it and I have the caffeine free diet version so it's slightly better but I can't stop drinking the stuff! Help! What's going on?

SapphireSeptember · 19/01/2023 23:51

I put YABU because Dr Pepper is my drink of choice! It's like cherry Coke and vanilla Coke all mixed up, but I don't buy it very often, although I drink hot chocolate every day.

Honestly, in the context of this thread, I thought you were going to say "I had Corona beer and got addicted - it was a nice change from cock but not as sweet".

EmmaEmerald · 19/01/2023 23:57

HaroldsWilly · 19/01/2023 21:31

It felt appropriate to crash this thread. I come with ice as standard.

Blimey, Harold's Willy, you really do get about!

I hate it when I crave diet cock!

Because it's diet or because it's cock?

I'm another who only has the full throttle cock.

@EmmaEmerald Or, not as salty. Grin

My vice was different energy drinks when it was summer, they were nice and refreshing, now it's faded.

OldFan · 20/01/2023 00:19

Honestly the caffeine content in coke is fairly minimal and the sugar content is ok if you usually have a balanced diet.

2023pending · 20/01/2023 00:28

@Whatsssupppeurgh this is so weird. I had a cold last week and ever since that it’s been Barrs Limeade for me! never drank fizzy stuff but I’m obsessed with this, how has a cold got people hooked on fizzy pop 😂

If full-fat cock gets you pregnant, diet cock is probably safer. You have a very accommodating husband - definitely a keeper.

Pregnant? How off putting for me.

Quit cock blocking! 😂

It's definitely because it's diet. Diet always leaves me feeling unsatisfied later. I need a full throttle cock to get the job done right the first time!

motherofawhirlwind · 20/01/2023 08:50

kingsleysbootlicker · 19/01/2023 22:14

Also addicted to the full fat stuff, I call it my medicine because it makes my headaches and nausea so much better. I swear there's still a trace amount of cocaine in it Grin

@motherofawhirlwind Do you mind me asking what app that is? If anything is going to get me to stop, it's seeing how much money I'm wasting on it!

It's called Quitzilla :)

kingsleysbootlicker · 20/01/2023 09:13

@motherofawhirlwind Thank you, I think it will actually be really helpful for me! And well done for going this long without the coke Smile

Lordofmyflies · 19/01/2023 21:46

I ration myself to one cock a day, otherwise my habit gets out of control.

Roffle.

MermaidEyes · 20/01/2023 09:19

This thread is the funniest I've read in ages 😂

Sennelier1 · 20/01/2023 13:44

It's very addictive! I know a person who has a large bottle of Coca Cola on her nightstand and if it's empty she gets up to get a now one 😳 If you can, stop now! Or make it a rule to have one coke once a week on a fixed moment, like saturday-evening in front of the tele.
