Meanwhile in Russian supermarket in Germany there are so many fine sodas like Tarkhun, Kvas, Buratino...
Well I hope one of those new cool sodas at least gives you 98.420% protection from the new monkey thingy. I'm sure "Fancy" would sell big in the west, since everyones obsessed with blue-yellow color schemes now.
Well, I stand corrected. The laughs offered by this hilarious article were well worth the risk to your life and the minor dental corrosion I suspect you sustained by entering into this foolhardy experiment.
Hmmm.... my national pride has kicked in :) the knockoff sodas of my childhood were yummy (and potentially much healthier than Coca Cola and Pepsi... which, to be fair, is not difficult. From what I remember, collectors of coins used Pepsi as a sure way to clean old coins from built-up whatever... but I could also be confusing things... but i do remember the sodas allegedly (vague memory) made from herbs and spring water.... they were in fact tasty (not so vague memory), and I am just going to assume they were really made from herbs and spring water. just going to assume that. :)))
Seriously, when was the last time you had a coke? Are you trying to compare shit with shit? Fanta only applies as an alternative in case you were forced to drink aftershave or hair lotion, provided then that it is cold. And Sprite is acceptable for making panachés in case you don't have 7Up, or for mixing with Soju. Are you sure all the marbles are in place for you?
“Street”? Bad choice. they should’ve named it “Spirit.” It’s got the “sp” at the beginning and a sprite is a spirit. As in, a fairy. Did these guys even hire a marketing company before branding their knock-off swill? 😀

Cela fait des années que je n'ai pas autant ri!
Un vrai fou rire!
Vous devriez vous faire humoriste, vous auriez un réél succès... mais vous nous apporteriez moins!
J'ai vu que "rynok" est une place. Je n'ai pas compris. Il y a peut-être un jeu de mots? J'aurais voulu déguster le texte jusqu"à la fin !
mother in laws, what would you do without em?
Well done! Your mother-in-law gave you a great ending. Your ability to see it and put it to words is a gift.
Your recent pieces on the WHO are spot on but this is my favorite read of the month.
I tell my wife of the amazing things going on in the world and she replies; "That's interesting. Did you take out the trash?"
Another talent of Edward's discovered. Perhaps as a sidetrack career he can start a "Beverage Rating Institute"! I'm only kinda joking)))

Well played, Edward!
Well played.
Thank you for this post, it had me in stitches :)
so beautifully written. "existential dread" induced by cola. I guffawed in solidarity.
Saved and indexed.
Made me smile.
Marvellous, thank you. Cheered me up no end.

In the Roman alphabet I note.
Oh wow. I think I'll stick to making import-substitution sodas at home. Using 100% natural ingredients of course.
Russia have replaced U.S made cancer in a bottle with home made cancer in a bottle how clever of them.
