Bye Bye Coca Cola Post

This is my Coca Cola love/Dear John story.

I met you on a Friday. It was 1985 and I was 13. I remember it like it was yesterday...

There you were tall, dark and ice cold. I knew you were forbidden, but my mother was in town and I was alone. I knew I had to have you!

The sound of the bottle top popping off of the glass bottle was so enticing....how could I resist you?

I smelled you first, caramel and sugar. Then I went for the taste. Oh my goodness...I was hooked immediately. You and I have had a love/hate relationship.

Sometimes I have cheated on you with Diet Coke, once with Pepsi, but honestly....just too sweet for me, I like a swarthy soda...I have enjoyed you with spanish peanuts, and popcorn at the movies, in the bathtub and even on the road tucked next to my hip. You have never been too far from me.

I almost left you once before when you changed, but you have so much flavor I was drawn back when you went back to your old self....

Coke, we need to talk....I have changed....really it isn't you....it is me. We want different things in life. I want my freedom back, and my waist...

I will always love you, please don't cry.....But water has my heart now....

No, no don't beg. I am through.

So buh bye Coke. It was fun while it lasted!
