Dear Coke,

Please take greater care to label your diet coke varietals more distinctly.  Amidst the diet cokes, diet cherry cokes, diet vanilla cokes, and diet black cherry vanilla cokes, one can make a hasty mistake.  For example, I learned today that diet black cherry vanilla coke tastes like a mixture of turpentine and cough syrup.  I'm not sure you were aware of that, but needless to say that was not the taste I was looking for.  For this product, I would recommend labeling it as such:

Dear Rock Creek Rambler,

We make $900,000,000,000,000 per year. We don't give a crap what it tastes like to you.

Love,
Coke

Yeah that black cherry stuff is foul. The Pepsi version is even worse. I had such high hopes...

There was a time when I actually could have told somebody who could tell somebody who might have something to do with that.

But my Daddy doesn't work for Coca-Cola anymore.

Dude, have you tried Pepsi Jazz? Absolutely atrocious

No, and I didn't intentionally try black cherry diet vanilla robitussin coke... but at least those odd Pepsi flavors have different cans than the normal pepsi.

That just made me laugh out loud in a deposition and everyone turned around and gave me nasty looks. Thanks.

You're reading someone's blog during a deposition?

Don't worry JB. Wayne emails the Playaz constantly during trials and depositions. He normally wins.

Plus, don't forget about the judge who used to masturbate behind the bench during trial with a penis pump.

You never know what's going on, but the system works.

It tastes like turpentine bc that's what it turns into if you leave it out in the open air long enough. drinking straight licquor is probably easier on your innards. btw is that Dave Matthews on the right a joke?
