–>Milk and Cola. See above. More proof that Root Beer is superior to Cola.
Au contraire Mr Martin – If I am at a place with a ‘beverage bar’, my all time favorite mixture is Coca-Cola with a splash of either Fanta orange of Hi-C orange. This goes back to the book Big Secrets, in which the author William Poundstone delves into all sorts of Big Food’s (and other institutions) Big Mysteries – including the all so secret Coke Formula. Poundstone found out of the main ‘background’ flavors Coke uses is…ta da…orange. So a splash of orange helps emphasize this a bit more..and it is DEE-lish! You can taste the orange in the Coca Cola Slurpee sometimes too…
(Poopsie, btw uses lemon as opposed to orange -which is why Poopsie Light w/lemon was big for a while)
