Who else prefers Pepsi over Coke?
I do.
Not sure if it's still around but Diet Pepsi was the best of the lot.
I can only drink coke out of glass bottles.
USA Foods has a few old favs that I liked, Bought a can of RC Cola and a bottle of Mexican come which both were nice.
Now just need to find some TAB
Probably the closest you'll find to TAB is Elle Macphersons daily secretion.

Coke is beautiful for about the first half a can, no good after that, and no good if not chilled.
Pepsi is 'orrible.
Schweppes Cola trumped 'em both when it was around.
Used to mix Coke & Raspberry back in the day at the 7/11 when they had the Big Gulp machines. :)

I always wondered how they made TAB clear when I was a kid. Elle?? :lol: :lol:

And definitely Snakes over Jelly Beans.



He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, or, Flash Gordon and the Defenders of the Earth????

Flash Gordon, the movie.

Ouzo and raspberry in the 80's

Tocumwal Cordials cola was the best of the lot. As a kid, put 2 straws in a 750ml bottle and read hardy boys books for an hour.

Can't stand Pepsi. Drink a can of Coke once a week and maybe 2 during a marathon.
Remember when soft drinks were only for parties & the largest you could get was 1 litre?

Watching Happy Days as a kid I always wanted to try root beer. Got to the states in 2010 and ordered one with a burger, now that is some disgusting shit!

Why don't HJs make a yumbo comeback? How good were they!?

Nailed it first time, HAL!

Been stuck here in Reality for a while now. Coping OK with it but I wouldn't recommend it for everyone, Certainly not vulnerable people or kids. It's a pretty weird place.

They will probably let me out on a day release schene sooner or later.

What's the best option for communication when overseas for 5 weeks? Buy an overseas phone/sim? Or buy one of those 'travel package' things from Telstra or Post Office etc. I would prefer to have my own number while away but not interested in a $2000+ bill to come home to.

The Telstra one that would suit the length of time I'm away is $250, not sure of any others.

Any suggestions most appreciated :)

Dunno. For the 2 weeks I'm away I'm just going to use the travel package from telstra. I can do it online from the phone from LAX while I'm waiting for my transfer flight.

I like the idea of having my own phone number too, otherwise those cheap travel prepaid Sims look good.
