Possible cure for the common cold: Hot Coke with ginger. I will definitely make this the next time I’m under the weather. Here’s a pic. [Via superlocal]

Leche de Pantera: a drink of milk, gin, rum, Cointreau, peppermint and cinnamon, served from some sort of stalacTEAT. If I didn’t know better I would swear Josh invented this. [Thanks, E!]

I need a soda train in my house, ASAP. I would update this site much more frequently if a train was constantly bringing me new beverages to try.

The Morning News has some recommendations on bottled drinks. Fuck them if they think they can horn in on our territory. We’ve reviewed many of those beverages here, so definitely compare the K4T review before running off to the store. Remember who your bevperts are.

Portable alcoholic beverages?!?!? What the fuck next, I wonder.

Neat collection of mp3s from pop stars of yesteryear singing variations on the Coke theme song.

This ad makes me never want to drink Coke again. Seriously the part where the furry things climb up the bottle makes my skin crawl. Gross! They would totally get their hair all over the bottle. No bugs near my soda please ever. UGH God fuck this ad.

Slate on sweet tea. I think I’ve only had lame imitations and never the real thing. Or at least I hope they were lame imitations because they were NAST.

Proof that internet top 10 lists are such a bunch of crap: this one includes Tab Cola.

Cheerwine has suddenly come out of nowhere to take over the internet. They’ve got the very zeitgeist-y fake news website, a street team blog favoring pictures of Cheerwine-drinking teens in bikinis, and Youtube turns up a bunch of fan-made commercials. Sad times when a 90-year-old soda is making me feel old.
