Taste test


We had to try out some new drinks at work today that are being considered for addition to the soft drinks collection in our fridges.  One of them was a well-known brand of cola that have now released a ‘no sugar’ version that has added ginger flavouring. Three of us had to sample it and tell Head Office what we thought of it. My response was - “It’s like a dozen different artificial flavourings competing for space on my taste buds.”
I have once again been called uncooperative and unprofessional.
But I don’t care - it tasted bloody awful. Give me the full-fat, heavily-sugared version and stop pissing about with ‘healthier’ options that are actually crammed full of chemicals that are far worse for you than sugar and probably give you a tongue tumour.
If nothing else today though, I’ve learnt that the word “uncooperative” doesn’t have a hyphen in it. For the first time in my life, spellchecker has taught me something useful instead of making me want to punch the screen in.
