Cans of coke handed out for free.

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.

hasn't taken off here but i do like and buy it....and heh a day or two of Los Angeles weather isn't all bad, i live about twenty miles inland from downtown and this summer it's been hot, a dry heat, like a blow torch, but i can't complain there's always Phoenix

Well my wife is not sold on it ,She has said she is going to stick with her diet coke.
 As far as the heat in the UK I see on FOX new they said the subway'sTemp. was over 100 degrees and Pavement was melting  and they were dumping crush rock on it to help it.
Sound to warm for me .
