I went to that place when I was in the ATL for 3 months a few years back. I can also vouch for how foul Beverly was good lord! I think a reasonable fair few of the EU Coke products were horrendous tasting.

Did you get your little souviner glass coke bottle at the end? I still have mine here next to my desk.

If you are still in ATL or going back again any time soon check out the sweet water brewery that's a cool place and you get beer tokens for many delicious beverages and a cool glass to keep :)

i've always liked off-brand pineapple soda...   fanta's good, but off-brand is also pretty great, they probably buy the flavoring from the same guys...

it makes my teeth hurt if I drink alot of it... so clearly it's highly acidic..  but deliciously so...

If you're old like me, you may remember there also used to be 1.5l glass bottles (thick glass, with a large metal screw top) and 500ml glass "stumpies" (with a thin "foam" plastic wrapping). Man, brings back fond memories thinking about those. Ah, "Have a Coke and a smile", "Things go better with Coke", etc.. Always had Coke when eating "things", which was often back when I was young.

The glass bottles with metal caps tasted best to me, with 2 liter plastic tasting worst. Cans tasted a little "sharper", if that makes sense, with a bit too much fizz. Hehe, sound rather like a cork sniffer.
Yea I just talked to a friend and he says that we had 1.5L glass with metal cap, so I was wrong about them being 1L. I remember them being the best as well and the 2L plastic ones are still the worst.

Slightly off topic. Has anyone tried Fanta Mandarin, I have tried it couple of times in Greece and its easy my favorite orange soda :p
This sucks more than anything that has ever sucked before.

Orange soda was my fav until pineapple soda..

I've been meaning to retry grape..  I remember stopping on grape, because all the ones i've tried made my tongue numb as an after taste/status effect..

Hmm, I remember Pepsi Blue, but I've never heard of blue coke! What is this magic?

i once had a half frozen blue coke. it looked and tasted very... funny.
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.
