complawyer Posted August 16, 2022 #126 Share Posted August 16, 2022 in order to avoid this, merely ask for the soda with "no ice" and then ask for just a cup/glass of ice. problem solved. personally, i like pepsi with my ice (lol), or you can ask for a can of soda. i believe they are about $3.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, I heard a few weeks ago this might be happening. Oh say it IS so! You can't have a Capt. & Coke without the Coca-Cola....and I sure hope they get on Getaway before my cruise in 20 days! I want to see the faces of all "Coke Lovers" when they find out that the news are fake or it would take NCL forEVER to switch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's just schadenfreude...I'm not expecting it to be on the Getaway in September. It'll be a happy surprise, but I'm expecting Pepsi.

Rare tetleytea Posted August 17, 2022 #132 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Now for the million-dollar question we need to know: what if you have the soda package and try to smuggle on board Pepsi? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know why but I love Diet Pepsi and hate Diet Coke. On a cruise though I only drink soda to calm an upset stomach so it won't matter to me much. Hilarious. I'm the same way. Coke is better than Pepsi. Diet Pepsi is better than Diet Coke. But Coke Zero is better than both! Someone said they didn't think NCL was going to offer Coke Zero though. What a bummer. Maybe it's just my perception, but I think Coke Zero is more popular than Diet Coke now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'd be shocked if Coca Cola didn't have them carrying Coke Zero. If you read their annual report, the zero brands since the relaunch are driving a significant amount of the carbonated beverage growth. They probably want to introduce as many people to the reformulation through as many channels as possible 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be on Bliss mid November. Okay either way. Diet coke vs diet pepsi. Would like to know what they are planning for their diet lemon lime option when they make the change over from coke to pepsi products. The diet sierra mist offered before make a nice mixer.

Or is that just an urban legend? Truth.. An early Coca-Cola advertisement When launched, Coca-Cola's two key ingredients were cocaine and caffeine. The cocaine was derived from the coca leaf and the caffeine from kola nut (also spelled "cola nut" at the time), leading to the name Coca-Cola.[69][70] Coca leaf Pemberton called for five ounces of coca leaf per gallon of syrup (approximately 37 g/L), a significant dose; in 1891, Candler claimed his formula (altered extensively from Pemberton's original) contained only a tenth of this amount. Coca-Cola once contained an estimated nine milligrams of cocaine per glass. (For comparison, a typical dose or "line" of cocaine is 50–75 mg.[71]) In 1903, it was removed.[72 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember my trips to Mexico during the 60's and 70's and going to the agenceas to buy it by the case. Today, you can still get that original, bottled cases at Sam's Club. I also read where you can buy kosher coke during Passover. It has a yellow bottle cap on it. No chemicals, additives, etc. Sadly, I couldn't find it anywhere in the area where I live. Has anyone else seen it where you live? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
