Best way to drink coke?

I got the inspiration for this when I was going through all my old images when migrating to Immich.

Left-to-right: A coffee container, A Coke bottle with the label taken off, A pasta sauce jar, a coke can with the top removed with a can opener.

Everything tastes better out of a glass vessel, I think.

not to, because they have illegal bottling plants in the West Bank

Okay - how about if it were a homemade cola prepared in a sodastream style and the aluminum can in the right were sourced from a recycling center to reduce waste (and the others vessels are thrift ware)

Can you express a preference in that case? (I get the point you're making, fine; but at least answer the question they're about the aesthetic of the containers)

A) Your point? Just because a government has done evil things doesn't mean its people are evil. Unless you want to demonstrate that sodastream is under direct influence of their government, this is just guilt by association.

B) Did I say we were using a Sodastream? We're using a home made CO2 device connected to a food grade bottle that we use to fizz the drink - we just use the same screw thread size as the sodastream product because it's currently popular.

Relax. It's not that serious.

You said soda stream, so I assumed soda stream. Big whoops on my part.

If you care about things like Coke being evil, then you should care about things like money flowing into countries whose governments are evil and benefit from that flow via export taxes.

In my opinion, the original post was "some guy" reviewing their pics and asked "which of these beverage container photos is most photogenic?" - a super casual question, and @[email protected] said "Coke-Cola is evil!" - which is absolutely true.

I tried to carefully reword the question to ask it in an unbranded way - what is @[email protected]'s thoughts if we push past the corporation=bad thought stopper. However I failed - and you, @[email protected], jumped on the new thought stopper "sodastream". I can't say I believe sodastream is as evil as Coke™, but they're also certainly not angels. I'm sure you can argue that case.

But the question wasn't about really about Coke. The question definitely wasn't about SodaStream. The question @[email protected] was asking is "Which drink vessel of mine do you like?" And I don't think you two answered that part of the question. I do love the anti-capitalist messages - but would it hurt either of you to throw Armond1 a bone in your reply to address the aesthetical question they're asking?

The flavour is just not for me, I don't like the taste of apartheid and genocide

Don't.

Coke is bad for your health, and it's made by a bad company that does bad things.

Can coke is best coke.

Then 20oz bottle.

Then taps, but only if they aren't cheap with the syrup or heavy-handed with the bubbles.

Damn, just put hot water and you get tea. no need for tea bags

Is there like a cast iron pan situation going on here orrrr

Mr. Schubert? Is this you?

My first department head during my apprenticeship had a mug like that for his Coke Light. Takes me back a quarter of a century. Damn, I'm getting old.

Bottle with the label ripped off. That way, once people are used to it, I can drink used motor oil without all the questions.

My favorite method is to pour it down the drain and get something better.

Wait you’re supposed to snort it? I’ve been injecting it into my ass this whole time

2

First of all, who the hell opens a can like that?! I guess you get your lips pierced for free...

Anyways, I exclusively buy coke in 1L bottles so that I can always ask for "a liter of cola."

lemmy.world

The can. Because it’s the smallest serving size and I’m otherwise poor at moderation

Although opening it like that looks dangerous.

3

There's literally a pull tab there excitedly for this reason. I can't comprehend what kind of lunatic would cut the top off like that.

2

Almost got me, I didn’t realize which community this is. Was about say “just drink it from the bottle/can?”

Honestly that last one looks pretty dope. I gotta try that.

Not recommended, you could cut yourself on the edge.

I think the story there was that I broke off the tab by accident.

Yeah, I have to agree; if your plastic cup isn't labeled "coffee", then why are you even bothering to drink a coke?

my current dentist bill says none. But who are we kidding it’s obviously number 3.
