Dark Bit Factory & Gravity

OK, well as long as this thread is "hip" again.
I prefer the darker colas for their depth and mature vigor. When aged in their fine aluminum barrels for weeks, they pick up the inherent earthiness of their respective region. A fine cola must be opened properly and it must breath a bit before drinking. Sometimes it becomes necessary to "burn" the pop for better aeration. Lighting a match and then watching it go out over a fine glass of vintage cola is the main part of the process. As said before the colas are for a more sophisticated palette. To put into barbaric terms, a cola is a sexy young woman in an expensive car, a citrus pop would be akin to a toothless redneck woman in a plastic pedal car.
The citrus pops are not without merit, however, they should only be consumed for the caffeine. One can't watch the glittering playfulness of citrus pops in the presence of a more refined and stoic cola.
The proper container comes into question with fine sodas as well. For a citrus soda, I would recommend a chilled white ceramic mug. For the cola, a clear white glass is the only way to go.
This brings Me to the final point-ice cubes. Depending on the soda's week and clarity ice cubes may subdue the flavor of your costly beverage. Again, ice cubes may compliment the sparkly spittyness of a citrus pop, but the smooth taste of a cola may be diluted via too many cubes.
In a public setting it is quite acceptable to slurp cola, aeration of the palette only makes the refined taste stronger. If the table waiter looks annoyed at your professional slurping, politely spill the drink on his dress then flip him off and leave.
Also, when trying new drinks follow these simple rules.
Slurp for aeration. The drink may gain a more robust flavor.
Color is an indicator of quality. If the color is unnatural the cola may contain traces of cancer causing substance.
Stop what you're doing. Action can cause distress and may affect the taste in a noticable fashion.
We Hope that you will continue drinking one of the most historic and important beverages in the world. It's been with us through wars, love,loss marriage and divorce. It is who we are as humans. One doesn't see chimps brewing cola, nay this wonderful gift is reserved for us and us alone.

I am enlightened!
How long would you reccomend that I let the coke go flat, erm sorry, breathe?
-
This is a very good question. Many factors such as climate zone and barometric pressure play a role. It's best to consume drink after it has breathed for 30-35 seconds. The first sip is the most important since it will be the strongest during the sitting.
It has been my pleasure to answer questions regarding this most splended drink.
-
Wow, I didn't know you knew so much about cola dude. Nice insight, sounds like one should drink it a little like wine. I like the Vanilla Coke, some reason shops dont stock it.
Whats your favourite way to drink it?
Cheers,
Clyde.
-
He says a lot about the drink but when trying to follow the guide I came unstuck as I did not know what sort of glass to drink it out of, so whilst being informative Clyde, I don't think you should see it as a Lexicon of cola drinking.

Vanilla coke can be compared to smoking quality pipe tobbaco. Few people enjoy the full depth of it and consequently some stores are hesitant to supply it to the masses.
I tend to favor drinking with my mouth. While soda is rather soothing it tends to burn if used in the ears for example. Drinking should be confined to the mouth.
-
So you would not reccomend vanilla coke for colonic irrigation?

It would seem ill advised.

Because of the burning huh?
-
Yeah, I recon that would really smart!

Pixeloutlaw,
perhaps you can add a few words about cream soda. If I remember correctly it can be used as a decongestant by forcibly ejaculating through both nostrils simultaneously under extremes of pressure.
What is your opinion on ejaculation of cream soda?

Choose your words carefully!

Good Heavens no!
One must invest in a good saline based solution and a costly minuscule squeeze bottle to cure sinus ailment. Soda is for oral consumption only. However that farse "Gamer Fuel" may both be used as garbage can decoration. Sometimes I take a small hip flask of Coke with me to work and have a nip during the work day. Other times I partake of a 44 ounce "Sodie Pop" while at college.

Here's a question that has been troubling me... I'd heard that you could get high by snorting Coke and after a depressing day I decided to try this.
Following the snippets of information I have gleaned from the internet and by listening to conversations I first tried to pour the coke into lines.
Unfortunately it just dispersed across the table. I realised that I needed to use something absorbant and I placed some kitchen towel in thick wads on the table and then poured the Coke into nice lines on the towel.
After tightly rolling a £20 note and trying to sniff up these lines, I found that the coke was locked away inside the kitchen towel and I could not snort it.
I went to bed feeling completely depressed. What did I do wrong?
-
I believe you've been misled or misinformed as to the type of coke to be used for such activity, I think this (http://img.alibaba.com/photo/10987790/SJY_Metallurgical_Coke.jpg) would be easier to arrange in lines.
-
I have a vintage can of Coca Cola from 1986 with the word "NEW" printed on it.
Given that it is 21 years old, does the word "NEW" still apply, or would it have gone off by now?
-
Ah what luck find! :D
I would not dare open such a vintage boquet. Instead let it age gracefully inside the can and refrain from any consumption.
Yes, it is still new. :whisper:
-
Open it.
-

I would advise freezing the beverage before-hand, then crushing it down into a fine powder with which to make the lines. Whilst in its liquid form, it may cause irritaition upon entering the nasal cavity as was forewarned earlier.
-
Pixel, loving the guide, trying to follow it.
I have got two bottles of cola. Both made by the Cocal Cola corporation. One is labelled as Diet Coke "With a hint of lemon", the other is similar but has lime replacing the lemon.
This has created somewaht of a problem for me.
Following your guide, I am now confused as to what to drink them out of as they are both cola and citrus sodas. Therefore, I am torn between the chilled mug and the glass.
What do I do?
-
This is a very good question. :goodpost:
I would advise a tall thin-walled clear glass. Ice may be used to preference.
I'm currently drinking Ginger Ale and am baffled by the simplicity. The proper container needs to be found. Perhaps an oaken challis?

Tried this, I didn't get high though. What am I doing wrong?
The crushed frozen Coke crystals were easy to snort though Slinks so thanks for the tip.
-
Ah, I know the feeling. I kept hearing about how great these 'E's were from everyone, but I never knew where to get them from. I read recently in the papers though that most childrens sweets had them, so i went down the shops and picked up a couple of tubes of smarties. I swallowed a whole bunch of them, but nothing happened! Advice?
-
Ah, I think you are going off topic Slinks, but the 'E' that you need are contained in tins of alphabet spaghetti.
-

My appologies, but it really was perplexing me. Alphabet spaghetti you say? I shall look into this further.
-
afaik, Along with E's, tins of alphabet spaghetti also contain L,S,D and H among other things.
-
Hmm... I tried some, but it just didn't do it for me. I've always prefered a bowl of Special K myself. That really hits the spot.
-
I find alphabeti spaghetti and special K very difficult to snort indeed.
When frozen and then smashed, there are very many cracks in the coke.
-
Actually I have a complaint about the advice on freezing the coke and shattering it before snorting.
I've noticed that lately I am getting nosebleeds (I am snorting about 2 cans a day, it's not too expensive at the moment but the problem is getting worse)..
About the nosebleeds.
In order to get the can cold enough to shatter I have been freezing it with liquid nitrogen first, and then breaking with a hammer.
Unfortunately tiny particles of metal are getting stuck inside my nostrils and it's fucking painful I can tell you.

Most users use a vaseline dipped cotton swab to remove the particles.
Also want to try some of this stuffs.

Unfortunately, nosebleeds are a common side effect of snorting too much coke. Doctors advise slowly coming off the coke dependency using other substances. Try Pepsi.
-
The Pepsi is better, the tins shatter into slightly blunter fragments and are easier to inhale.

The status of cola education transcends time, you slave to ethereal trappings!
It has come to my attention (and I was quite startled mind you) that cola may come in large transparent bottles. I've been a man of the can for many a year now and the sight of such a savory delight harshly abused within light permeable bottles almost caused a series of heart palpitations. The cola should never be disrespected in this way. The light alone may bruise the cola leading to aftertastes and pockets of lower carbonation within said drink. Like a fine woman, the cola is best taken while in full dress. The notion of a cola in a plastic transparent bottle is reminiscent of a cheap corner-waiting harlot. Flaunting her wares while the body of the product diminishes. It is immoral to contain such divinity in a transparent bottle. On display and degrading in front of the connoisseur. I try to shelter my young fellow connoisseurs and seeing the beverage in this light has caused my youngest child to start crying in a most horrid display. He had to be removed from the store. This brings me to my second thought. Diet Coke must be purchased from a fine vendor that can provide papers for production. Purchasing from a grocery store is like adopting a used animal from a shelter. You know it will be of inferior quality and have many ailments. Diet Coke purchased from the grocery vendor is akin to adopting a mixed breed giraffe with mental ailment and poor musculature out of sympathy.
One must only trust a darker cola from a private collection. Never purchase a cola without papers tracking the distillation and shipping techniques. One is investing in good health and a savory dark cola inspires the humors.
-
But the bottles are fun..
They are built to withstand really high pressures.... If you don't want to lose your fingers, don't try this...
Quarter fill the coke bottle with warm water, bend the plastic bottle (without weakening it!), keeping the water in the bottom half.
Add some crushed dry ice taking care that it does not mix with the water.
Screw the cap on, throw it away as far as you can.
Run in the opposite direction.
Booooooooooooooooooooooooom!
Some of the guys that used to work in my business used to do this, they were very powerful and probably capable of removing your hand.

Local boy loses hand, blames internet stranger continued page 2

-
Remember that your home is at risk if you set fire to it.
-
You can save hundreds of £s on your car insurance by not driving.
Also don't drink and drive - coke is best drunk using 2 hands. Unless you have lost a hand in an exploding plastic bottle accident.
In which case, you can use coke syrup to "glue" the hand back on.

Pixel, bit of help please. I have a Coke related problem.
Today, I was in a local supermarket (Tollgate Road Co-Op!!) and wanted to buy a 2 litre bottle of Coke. I've not been sleeping too well, so decided to buy Caffeine Free diet coke.
When I was on my way to the checkout, an elderly local man started pointing at me and laughing and was ridiculing me for buying it.
The crux of his argument was that Coke is nothing more than caffeine filled sugary water and by opting for caffeine free diet coke I was wasting my time!
What I need to know from you is if I was right to beat him over the head with some frozen lamb? I injured him quite badly, and I am due in court in three days time. Please help.
-
Chances are that you have injured one of the inner circle of connoisseurs.
Why is this?
1. You were purchasing this most sacred drink in a bottle.
2. He was giving you sound advice that coincides with my tips given just a few posts up.
Sadly, I cannot stand buy while this fine beverage is raped and put in a plastic bottle.
-
That's nothing!
I took the Pepsi challenge once and I didn't find it challenging at all.
I drank both cups easily.
Does this make me an expert?
-
You have soiled your body by ingesting Pepsi.
Purge yourself of this toxic poison by drinking nothing but coke for a week. :cheers:
-
Amen sir.
I must say that after 2 years of attendance I must honestly consider going to a different college. Brace yourselves my dear fellow enthusiasts. They have stopped the sale of all Coke products and have instead stated that the "other cola" shall become the only beverage available. This news has caused me to writhe in distress. I could not gain audience with the school dean. The ignorant heathen savage informed me that it was not a priority! I cannot in good mental health fund such flagrant and willful advertisement of a false elixir. The "other cola" is a false prophet who causes the children to scream, the mime to stop his playful craft and the sirens and harpies to ascend from the Depths.
How might I fight this travisty?
-
The answer is simple, but possibly wasteful.
You must fill your local swimming pool with coke. Then tie your deans hands together and push him in. Unable to swim, he will be forced to drink his way to safety, ridding him of his "other cola" urges.

Still no sign of the return of Vanilla Coke. Any inside info?

The line has been discontinued in England for some time. I however was able to pick a can up from a local grocery store.
Now it has been a good deal of time since I have quaffed this savory drink. I shall take a drink after letting the cola breath in the chilled white glass. Sadly I'm out of matches to burn the drink before sampling.
WHAT A DELIGHT!
This blend of Coke and Vanilla is a dream. This drink makes me feel as if I am aboard a sea faring vessel. I can hear the rocking and creaking of the ancient timbers around me as the sailors laugh and light fine pipe tobacco. I feel a warmth and see the lanterns burning fine whale oil. It is at this moment that I am brought back to my chain in front of this computer. The depth of the churning sea returns to my finely padded office chair. I am alone. My palette has become tacky and dry longing for a second partaking. As I have said before this cola is to be enjoyed as a fine tobacco it is as a spice cake brought from a foreign land. Good sirs, America tastes very fine tonight. I tip my hat to the late Herman Melville. The sailors light their pipes again with a dark spice, and the voyage continues in my humble white mug. The creaking of ancient timber returns the boat rocks in a most comforting way.
I only wish that you fine Englishmen could be here tonight sampeling forbidden delight from the Coke plants.
-
Have you tasted Diet Coke with Bacon yet? If so, what's it like?
(Visit the Hangar 18 picture thread if you are confused by this question)

This should get you started with your rogue dean:

What's (supposed to be) the difference between Coke Zero and Diet Coke?
Jim
-
Coke Zero is a blend of Coke (positive) and Pepsi (negative) in equal measure.
:stirrer:
-
What's (supposed to be) the difference between Coke Zero and Diet Coke?
Jim
About 40 pence per 2 litres.
-
Coke Zero is Coke without all the sugar - and still tastes the same. Diet coke would have less fats and sugars.
-
Coke Zero is basically Cokes version of Pepsi Max (Maximum taste and no sugar).
It is being marketed in this country as "Bloke Coke" (Unoffially) as Coca Cola Corp feel that Diet Coke is a bit too girly and Men are slowly drifting away from "full fat" Coke and on to healthier drinks. They hope that this will fill the void!
It's amazing what you learn when you subscribe to marketing magazines and periodicals eh!!
-
My apologies for posting a link to an eBay page with 576 bottles of coke.
I should have looked for cans instead.
-
I was quite offended. However all is forgiven.
-
If the bottles are kept in a dark room, does that help?
