I dong drink CO2 drinks…

Maybe if you drank them the regular way they would be gas-less?

@llangley Yes I know I mistyped it! But you knew what I meant! hehehe. I always had to drink them slow. By the late 1970’s I started weaning myself off them, So by 1980 I was CO2 free. if I was ever to try one now it would not be pretty, I would be passing gas all over the place & my tummy would be hurting Big time! So I don’t do it.

@shahnm It took me a minute …

@Kyeh @shahnm, can you explain it?

@kittykat9180 @Kyeh
RC Cola ~~> Arancini Cola

Arancini are a Sicilian street food that are made from rice balls that are stuffed, coated with breadcrumbs, and deep-fried. The name translates to “little oranges”.

@Kyeh @shahnm, thanks.

@shahnm Surely you mean Starry Night of the Living Bread? Or is this a Twitter/X situation?

@shahnm @Weboh Why not both?

Starry Night of the Living Bread featuring Sierra Mist-ery Meat! It would be like those bougie pizzas that include some locally famous special ingredient.

(Oh, crap, I can actually see how the Sorted Food people would do that if put to the challenge. Let us not suggest it to them.)

@shahnm @werehatrack No, see, that was a joke because Sierra Mist has been discontinued and replaced with the near-identical Starry.

Unless… are you from a future where Pepsi has TWO lemon line sodas???!? How many of these other soda recipes are accurate predictions? More importantly, do you still need to store your batteries in the fridge?

@Weboh @werehatrack Well now I know you’re just trolling, because of that ridiculous question about putting batteries in the fridge. As if any reasonable Mehtizen wouldn’t… Sheesh!

Or mehbe Red Bullillabaisse?

@Kyeh I believe they may have done that flavor.

@werehatrack I wouldn’t put it past them.

@Kyeh And until I looked it up, I thought Big Red was only a brand of chewing gum…

@Kyeh @shahnm Here in Texas, it’s a staple of the carpet stain removal business.

@Kyeh @shahnm There’s also Code Red (a subflavor of Mountain Dew)

@pakopako @shahnm Huh, I’ve never had either of them.

@Kyeh Irn-Bru soda… Who knew??

@shahnm I first learned about it reading a mystery series set in Scotland!

@Kyeh, interesting soda but I decided trying it once was enough for me.

@Kyeh @shahnm I’ve actually had it more than twice.

@shahnm @werehatrack @kittykat9180 What’s it like?

@Kyeh, I wouldn’t even know how to describe it, it’s not comparable to any other carbonated beverage. I found it mediocre but I also don’t like any soda.

@kittykat9180 I’ve read that it’s kind of orangey? I’d try it but I’m not a big fan of sugared sodas either.

@kittykat9180 @Kyeh The color is sort of orangey, the flavor is weirdly metallic-herbal-sweetish. When they call it IrnBru, they mean that it sort of tastes like licking a piece of lightly-sugar-frosted cast iron. (Yes, I know, this doesn’t help either.)

@kittykat9180 @werehatrack Well, THAT sounds gross! Thanks … not sure I will try it after all.

@Kyeh, as the other person said, it’s only orange in color, not flavor.

@kittykat9180 I see.

@Kyeh I had to look up Nehi soda - never heard of it before. Nice one!

@Kyeh @shahnm Wasn’t grape Nehi Radar’s favorite?

@blaineg @shahnm I didn’t remember that, but you’re right!

@phendrick
Yep… Definitely a great way to trash a great dish!

@shahnm

@Wookee w/o CO2 I might try it!

@Pavlov @shahnm

@mschuette Huh, I’d never heard of that one!
