Coke Launch New Product In Argentina Only!

[trennod]

Argentines do love to oversalt and oversweeten. And oversauce. I still can´t believe the lack of physical exercise here and how people (especially the girls) imagine to stay so much thinner than their Anglo Saxon counterparts. Its obviously the genes but still...
Anyhoo, re the new coke to me it tastes pretty similar to coke zero. Diet coke/Coke Zero arent too popular here so its an odd choice for a new product line.

Speaking of oversweeting and oversalting and over saucing and thin Argentines here's the latest statistic of most obese countries. US dropped to number 2 and Argentina is now number 8.

If people can drink and love Fernet they can drink anything!!

Oh lord have mercy on me and my Fernet hating soul. My Argie friends keep trying to force me to drink Fernet and Coke and my response is always the same:

I've been tempted to try the new coke, just for the sake of doing so, but I'm more interested in the ice bottle coke they have only in Colombia: http://www.coca-colacompany.com/stories/equator-cool-down-colombians-melt-for-cokes-ice-bottle

I'd settle for cherry coke which was apparently available here once but vanished in 1996 and apparently Bilz used to be available here in 1905!

CCU who make bilz and pap in Chile are apparently the second largest brewer in Argentina. I wonder if they can be convinced to launch them here. :lol:
