>> Yes, I'd say the caramel is the aftertaste I find so distasteful. << Apparently Coke radically differentiates the formula depending on what region of the world you're in. For instance, Coke in Egypt is somewhat thick and barely carbonated (they have samples of all the different types at the World of Coke museum here in Atlanta). Have you ever had 'American' coke? Is it the same as Australian? Just wondering, because I'm an avid Coke drinker (grew up here...) and I've never really tasted any sort of caramel aftertaste in fresh Coke.

I don't know, but I did find out tonight that Mountain Dew used to be caffeinated and now is not in Australia. Christian #include "std_disclaimer.h" The careful application of terror is also a form of communication. Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.

I can't imagine a decaffinated Dew. It just wouldn't work for me. When religion and politics help drive the same cart, they tend to drive faster and faster until it is too late to stop when they see the cliff ahead -- Frank Herbert.

Remember "New" Coke? I worked out at Stone Mountain Park when they introduced it. We stockpiled about 50 gallons of the original. (Actually we forgot that it was there). :-O After they re-introduced the "Classic" formula, we found the "original" and had a taste test. It's just not the same, but loads better than "New" X|

Yes, I know it doesn't spread very easy, but if you mix it with enough butter it works fine :) I only had Vegemite once, but that was years ago, imported directly from Australia. I always thought of it as a cheap imitation of Marmite :rolleyes: maXallion

Well, now that is a different thread altogether... I like: Cadbury white chocolate milk, Lindt Lindor chocolate balls (dark preferred), Tasmanian made Blackberry cheesecake ice cream, lemon tart with lots of King Island double cream, double brie turkey and onion toasted foccacia, any of my wife's fine curries, Fruit Loops, creme brulee, Burger King, chinese food, big juicy steaks (medium rare). So next time I come to the mainland, if I come to your house for dinner, you know what to serve ;0) Christian #include "std_disclaimer.h" The careful application of terror is also a form of communication.

Good choice with the medium rare.... Best place for a steak in Sydney is the Coogee Bay Hotel.... *drooool* :) Senior Test Engineer GLI Australia www.gli.com.au

The good thing about Promite is that they make it by mixing Vegemite with cat urine and the two amazing things are 1/ this process does not make it any more vile, and 2/ it makes it spread easier so it's quicker to feed the kids, close the jar and let the madness come to an end. My wife insists they taste different, but they all look and smell the same to me. Christian #include "std_disclaimer.h" The careful application of terror is also a form of communication.

We have a place here called the Ball & Chain that has amazing steak, but the best I ever had was in a small restaurant that got theirs from King Island. Now THAT was a piece of meat...

I'll put in a vote for the lilac city steakhouse in Goulburn... go there, order the king rump and watch 1.2 kilos of prime rump be delivered to your plate.... :eek: It may be smaller now, but it was great then! Senior Test Engineer GLI Australia www.gli.com.au
