It's all just sugar water with caffeine and fake flavour. Unless you are in the US. Then it's all just caffeinated and fake flavoured water mixed with high-fructose corn syrup.

 

[Wood Man]

This sounds like an episode of Seinfeld.

 

[psyfi]

I just don't drink things I don't want to drink. I would never ever ever be insulted if someone turned down a drink because they don't like the flavor.

 

[Lkr]

*at a restaurant"

waiter: what would you like to drink?
me: can i get a sprite?
waiter: oh we have sierra mist, is that okay?

NO. NO IT IS NOT. store brand "twist up" or whatever is a better experience than sierra mist

 

[BibiMaghoo]

These days I'll take anything that has actual sugar in it and not some nasty sweetener. They have ruined pretty much every drink because of this. Lilt is the worst offender, but only proper Coke remains unchanged.

 

[Griss]

When they offer you a coke but bring you a Fentiman's Curiosity Cola instead...

"Excuse me, can I move in here? I'll pay rent..."

I just don't drink things I don't want to drink. I would never ever ever be insulted if someone turned down a drink because they don't like the flavor.

Yeah, in Ireland I feel rude sometimes because offering tea or coffee is just the de facto 'welcome to my place' greeting, it's a ritual. But I don't drink any hot drinks so I always say no. Which is usually 'I don't plan on staying in your shitty gaff for more than 5 minutes' but for me is just the truth. I'm not drinking shit I don't like just to fulfil a silly social ritual.

 

[Certinty]

Somehow during all my life this has never happened to me.

Thankfully so too, that cheap stuff tastes so damn nasty.

 

[disappeared]

Idk there's some pretty good store-brand coke out there.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I'm drinking Water, breh

 

[Oxn]

Somehow during all my life this has never happened to me.

i would never ask for a soda either. I would just say "Let me see whats in your fridge"

 

[Kayhan]

OP is an ingrate.

 

[pillowtalk]

Just be grateful they didn't give you warm tap water instead. Damn.

 

[The Lone Courier]

So many social situations I didn't know existed before joining GAF.

Seriously.

 

[LinkAndEpona]

Was it Dr Thunder or RC Cola? Lol

Anyway once you guys discover alcohol, you won't care what they give unless its gross Tecate.

 

[CharminUltra]

I'm mostly OK unless it's RC cola. In that case i'ts "adios, friendo."

 

[Earthbound64]

i would never ask for a soda either. I would just say "Let me see whats in your fridge"

"Let me see whats in your fridge"?
Do you want to try out their bed while you're there too?

 

[Oxn]

"Let me see whats in your fridge"?
Do you want to try out their bed while you're there too?

i do.

 

[Earthbound64]

i do.

Alright then, carry on.

 

[Kayhan]

"Let me see whats in your fridge"?
Do you want to try out their bed while you're there too?

"Your wife is kinda cute"

 

[Maximus.]

Drink water and be grateful they offered you something.

[Earthbound64]

"Your wife is kinda cute"

Now we're getting somewhere.

 

[TheJerit]

I offer you the worm from my beak and you look at me like I fucked your mom?!

 

[meppi]

Just wait till this happens and he/she shakes the bottle in front of you to let the gass out because "it tastes much better that way" and then serves it to you.

Now that's yummy off brand coke. :-/

 

[Admiral Woofington]

This sounds like an episode of Seinfeld.

"so I'm sitting there and I start to get thirsty"

"Yeah?"

"and I figure to myself 'what would really hit the spot right now?'

"as any man should"

"and I realize I want. A coke. A delicious drink past down from our ancestors down the line since time immemorial. But here lies the problem George "

" what happened Jerry? "

" what they brought out wasn't coke. It was a CO. KNOCK OFF."

"didnt have a coke?!"

"didn't. Have. A. Coke"

"what kind of savages were they"

"thats what I thought!"

 

[meppi]

Haha, I'm actually hearing the music playing in my head now.

 

[Monochromaticx]

i do.

"Your wife is kinda cute"

Oh! I think I saw this one!

 

[Nameless]

Not a soda drinker so I'll usually grab a Gatorade or something when I'm hanging out at someone's house.

 

[toneroni]

Smh. Gaf awkwardness will never stop making me cringe and laugh at the same time

lol I immediately thought of that party gif with the loud music and feet hurting

 

[Mimosa97]

Perfect.

 

[Man God]

If they bring you Sam's American Choice, that's RC.

And RC is a-ok.



Why would you be mad at being brought a clearly superior product?

Yep it's like breaking a dollar bill and getting six quarters back.

 

[mhayes86]

Just be that guy who takes his own drinks (case of soda/alcohol) to parties, drinks only that, and then takes whatever is left home.

Or drink more of that H2O.

 

[Takuan]

I dunno, the only bad Coke copy I'll pass on is Pepsi. I like plenty of other independent brand colas.

 

[Earthbound64]

Oh! I think I saw this one!

Cokes and cocks.

 

[PInk Tape]

Uh... Just ask for water next time then.

This isn't that difficult.

 

[Surface of Me]

This sounds like an episode of Seinfeld.

"I gotta break up with her George! I can't date someone who doesn't have access to the name brands I'm accustomed to!"

"I dated a girl once who tried to slip me a Pepsi when I asked for a Coke. There wasn't a second date"

"The worst part is she lives in a nice apartment, has a nice car, nice clothes. She CAN afford Coke! She chooses to live in squalor! It's like a mental disorder!"

 

[Astral Dog]

You sound like a fun, non judgmental dude

 

[crimsondynamics]

Drinking 39g of sugar.

Per can.

Consciously and willingly.

If I were you, I'd be worried about more important things than the taste of the beverage or its brand.

 

[PlayALLtheGames]

OP like

When they gave it to you why didn't you just say make a face and ask, "What the fuck is this?"

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

Only ones I can taste the difference in are mountain dew knockoffs.

 

[Hermii]

I would get a little disappointed, but it wouldn't be a big deal.

 

[paperboywriter]

Op is a big baby

 

[rocketskates]

I hate this in restaurants.

"Can I have a coke, please?"

"Sure"

(Bring you a Pepsi)

I would rather enjoy the fact of being invited than worry about what kind of beverage I'm served.


I had some fish and chips at a restaurant a while ago and explicitly asked for a Pepsi. They didn't have Pepsi so I got a Coke instead.

They're competitors. 99.9% of the time a restaurant will only have one brand. Coca Cola. Or Pepsi.

 

[takriel]

Fucking Coca Cola fanboys. Jesus.

 

[oneils]

"You want to come over and watch the fights? We are going to BBQ and everything!"

You arrive only to realize they are planning on watching the fight via a shitty, stuttery Kodi stream.

Holy shit I'd be pissed. Funking hell, hahah.

 

[Orthogonal]

That is awful OP, I completely understand. It's even worse when the Soda isn't pre-chilled. Serving warm soda on ice is a cardinal sin.

 

[One Eyed Willy]

I've never had a cola I didn't like.

*shrug*

I paused and was ready to retort, but then I thought about this and well, shit.. me to. As long as that shit is icey cold, it's from valhalla. Also note, I drink soda like 5 times a year so I'm probably invalid I guess. Shit is really sugary and bad for you.

 

[notaskwid]

It's shit all the same.

 

[mrklaw]

Coke is a very generic term here in the UK, tends to be 50/50 if somewhere will tell you its pepsi

Yeah coke is probably more used than 'cola'

Although when I worked a summer job at McDonalds many years ago, if someone asked for coke we had to reply with the canned 'we have McDonalds own cola, is that OK?' to avoid issues with people complaining when they didn't get actual coke
