Re: Tried the new Coke Blak?
I agree with you 100%. I hate drinking Coca-Cola (or Pepsi or RC) straight from the can or bottle. I find the best way to enjoy Coca-Cola is to pour it into a glass (I have my favorite glass for drinking my beverages from) over plenty of ice..preferably the crystal clear cubes one gets from an ice maker, not the cloudy homemade cubes from a tray. It's almost as if one needs to pour a Coke to let off some of the carbonation in the same way a beer or ale needs to be poured in order to develop a frothy head.
The absolute best Coca-Cola is the kind that is dispensed from fountain dispenser, like at 7-11. It's an added bonus when the dispenser is calibrated a tad off in the syrup department, and one gets a Coke with a little extra Coke syrup.
BTW, where I went to college (Southern Illinois Univ.) one could find straight Coca-Cola syrup for sale in half-pint bottles at many area drug stores. It was sold as relief for children's upset stomachs and nausea. One would give a kid who had a tummyache a teaspoon of Coke syrup in order to alleviate it. I myself would often buy it just to add an extra shot of syrup to my morning Coca-Cola....sort of along lines of a double shot expresso at Starbuck's.
