Since Covid, Coke quality has gotten so bad here in Australia.

Is it the same across the globe as well these days?

Is it the Cartel cutting it themselves or vendors?


Don't touch the stuff much, however I was told this.

I stopped having any and all soft drinks - I only drink water and naturally feel blissed out.

I feel so bad for the poor saps who still rely on coke to freshen up their day whilst I'm naturally blissed out and refreshed on life.

I stocked up on a few boxes of Coke pre covid so I cannot say about the quality nowadays. I only crack one open every now and again to celebrate something

I was a total Pepsi head around the time it transitioned here in northern California... I remember my dealers having two kinds: "number one" which was highly stepped on real pepsi (a friend had it tested) that smelled/tasted like it was half acetone, and "number two" which was something entirely different and tested as basically a mix of breaking bad and George Floyd. Did not feel like the real thing at all but both sucked tbh. So embarrassed I was addicted to that chit but like all addictions it came down to me not wanting to face my problems. Once I located my balls and owned my chit I was able to put the Pepsi down and walk away.

I was getting some water at Wal Mart the other day I just get the great value bottles(ded srs)

and there was a Pepsi vendor, and he said "You don't want to get any Pepsi products???" In a Jamaican accent.

That was hilarious.

Honestly, most cola since around 2012 has actually been synthetic cathinones. The stuff just keeps getting dirtier because the first couple generations have been banned everywhere, so they are in about the 4th gen of analogues.

I remember it being strong like gasoline & would last a good 30min pre covid. No since it's something I quite quite describe & quite frank it made me paranoid.

It's all about cost efficiency. If there's a cheap synthetic analogue that is a believable substitute, you can bet a lot of it is being faked. There were a couple of legal "bath salts" that definitely were being pitched as damn near everything before being banned. There was one specific bath salt being sold as other things that contained fluorine- meaning you were basically signing up for a neurotoxin that causes cancer.

My only point: don't do drugs, because in 2023, you have no idea what the fuk you're even taking. It's not your parents world anymore.

i would have to repeat this advice, as a medbrah, it's not worth it. A liver transplant because you took the wrong cut stuff? Not worth it. Ever. Honestly the hospital would probably say too bad so sad and you'd be fuked.

I went off hard drugs in like 07

But man around 04/05 I knew some guys in Hawaii who would pick up like lbs from some multimillion dollar mansion out in the mountains. That’s what I first got hooked on, everything on the mainland seemed disgusting and dirty and weak and muted or methed out and buzzy.

Was pretty easy to drop after some meth issues, I dunno how easy it woulda been to drop that chit I was getting in Hawaii tho.
