Grabbed these today. Fifteen minutes in the Air Fryer and had Steak and Fries for dinner.

Bought these on your rec. They also have a Cracked Pepper version I’ll grab next time. 

 

Didn’t notice the Spurs’ logo on the ice cream above, that shit ain’t available here in FW.

I drink soda about 3x per week and I’ve noticed the H‑E‑B brand sodas have gotten quite shitty. I bought an overpriced name brand Coca-Cola 12-pack in a pinch and I was shocked at how much better it tasted than the H‑E‑B ones I’ve been drinking for years. I’m not a brand snob but it was noticeably better and the carbonation did not mess up my stomach the way the H‑E‑B sodas do. 

[jimmyjazz 45,888]

I rarely drink soda, but on the rare occasion I've had HEB's pure cane sugar varieties, I thought they were pretty good.  They don't seem to be as readily available, though.

Charles Butt stepped back a couple of years ago and the family member that took over is doing his best to steer the ship into an iceberg.  The quality of products is going down and pricing isn't any cheaper than any other store.

I'm sorry but this is a hysterical comment.

"Local shopper discovers quaint beverage called coca-cola"

Coke is the best. I will admit though as someone that drinks maybe 1 or 2 sodas a month I'm frequently reminded at how good it is when I reach for one. Even diet coke is really good.

Dr Pepper > Coke

Diet Dr Pepper >>> Diet Coke

Since I hit my 30s I've probably averaged one soda per year, and this was after a childhood of drinking more Cokes than water.  But whenever I was on a road trip and needed a dose of caffeine that wasn't coffee, I'd always get a Diet Dr. Pepper.  Every time.

You're entitled to your incorrect opinion.

[Texzilla58 4,731]

As a 64 year old that still drinks lots of “cokes”. Of all types. I try to drink real sugar varieties these days.

I mostly drink real sugar ones these days as I hate HFCS and it’s impact on my diabetes numbers vs the real thing. Mostly drink real sugar Pepsi, real sugar Dr Pepper, ibc root beer, Mexican Fanta orange and coke if I see a deal.

I always buy a shitload of Canada Dry Tahitian Treat if I can find it. That’s a drink from childhood that is perfection to me in a alternative flavor.

[deft 6,839]

I like Coke Zero; prefer it over the leaded version. I no longer buy the heb version of cola zero. It’s just not as good.

[SimonBolivar 10,957]

Dr Pepper Zero > Coke Zero > Diet Dr Pepper > Diet Coke

 

I drink quite a bit of HEB's Zero Sugar Orange Burst, that shit is great.

 

[Deej 76,755]

Coke Zero tastes like a flat Coke. It was better when it first came out, then they changed something. 

[Js1 85,276]

There is a FB page called HEB Obsessed where folks post HEB brand products and the in store made stuff and this was posted.    Should I post this on the “Fuck the Big 12 Refs” thread because we know the screw job is coming from  the Rig 12 office.

I can’t afford the HEB brand personal lubricant. I have to roll with the Hill Country Fare version.

I hear the Mi Tienda version has a bit of a kick to it.

[Blotto 23,488]

about the only time I drink sodas anymore is when I'm roadtripping 4+ hours. And more often than not, when I pullover to gas-up/piss I'll roll with a cherry coke (or cherry coke zero if they have it) and possibly a bag of funyuns. I don't think I've ever purchased a bag of funyuns anywhere else than off an interstate. 

[jimmyjazz 45,888]

Good God, you're ingesting Cherry Coke and Funyuns?  I hope you're going solo, that's inhumane.

Real sugar Pepsi tastes more like Mexican Coke than hfcs coke. That Coke won’t put out a real sugar throwback Coke pisses me off. It’s getting hard to find real sugar DP as Schweppes fucks with Dublin fans. When you see it buy it.

What do you mean? What is the difference between the Mexican Coke with cane sugar and a real sugar throwback Coke? Is there some other form that I'm missing?

Cane sugar Coke aka Mexican Coke is only made in Mexico and exported to the. U.S.

Coke in the US and Mexico use HFCS. The majority of the rest of the world uses cane sugar. Mexico still bottles coke with real sugar for export to the US. Careful in Mexico locally as their govt, with likely lucrative bribes from the corn industry, allows HFCs to be labeled as “sugar”.

Real sugar drinks taste different than HFCS. I avoid HFCS for health reasons as well. I’d like a domestic throwback real sugar Coke as it would be priced like regular drinks instead of a big premium for Mexican.

Do you own taste comparison, blind. Have someone help you. Do it with Dr Pepper, Pepsi, Coke, Sprite. So I know some folks prefer the HFCS versions because that’s what they grew up with; I grew up with real sugar. The fake shit is sweeter .
