Title: Cans of coke handed out for free.
Post by: davethebirdman on July 19, 2006, 07:22:20 am
Hi Guys..

Thought I'd let you know that we are going through a mini heat wave at the moment. Temp here is hotter than Los Angeles. In fact today could be the hottest ever day on record for the UK.

On the Tube (underground train, Subway I think you boys call it) The average temp in the carriages, according to one London Newspaper was 55 metric. Not sure exactly what that translate to. Well over 100 and bloody hot.

Coke Zero has just been launched here and as a marketing ploy they were handing out thousands of cans of the stuff at all the railway stations last night on my way home from work.

I'm not sure if I like it?? Had it in the US last year. My wife loves it. How has it taken off over there??

In my area it really hasn't taken off just yet. I still see folks drinking Diet Coke but haven't seen any Coke Zero's. We'll see.
