Probably from back in the days when it actually did contain coke. That'd probably account the stress-relieving properties!

Hmmm would you rather have the coke or the aspartame/artificial flavour/colour version?

To be honest, I never drink the stuff anyway - except the very occasional craving for it, usually the morning after a night out, which, I suppose, kind of harkens bark to its original concept as a tonic. It's almost as bad as that odious stuff Fanta.

I don't drink coke either except when we go to the North and buy fish and chips (we don't have a chip shop here) and then I like to round it off with some teethrotting brown beverage, maybe if it did have real coke in it ..........

Hehe my cousin has an addiction to the stuff - 2ltrs a day - and is wondering why shes fat *sigh*

I do like it with my jack but have found dandelion and burdock just as delicious!

Its so hard to avoid those artificial sweeteners though
