Difference in Coke Taste

I know there’s a difference in taste between Coke produced in the U.S., and Mexico.  The U.S. Coke bottlers use High Fructose Corn Syrup, and Mexican Coke bottles use Cane Sugar.  But I’ve noticed that there are differences in taste depending in what type of package you purchase it in.  As far as the U.S. bottled Cokes go, the best tasting Cokes come from aluminum cans, and McDonald’s soda fountains (McDonald’s being the best tasting out of the two).  The worst tasting, for me, is Coke from the individual-sized plastic bottles.  For some reason it just feels like it has a bit more syrup than the Coke found in other packages.  It just tastes too damny syrup-y for me.

Carpooling

Starting Monday there’ll be a total of 3 people in the carpool.  Now I’ll be saving around $100/month, since I’ll be using less gas.  Plus: less wear-and-tear on my car; less driving; and time saved.

Today there was a high of 100 degrees farenheit.  This crazy weather got me to google the following:  “fan versus air conditioner,” which led me to this neat article on wikipedia:  Windcatcher

I found somebody to carpool with, and I can’t believe she lives a couple of blocks away from me.  All this time I’ve been driving like a sucker, wasting money on gas.

It’s almost July, which means I’ll have been at my job for a year now, and that means it will be time for my yearly review.  I hope I get a raise.
