Coke Blech

A random item for Monday: If you're thinking about trying the newest offering from the folks at Coca-Cola, Coke Blak... don't bother. Or better yet, take one of the three remaining bottles from the four-pack I bought yesterday, which are otherwise destined for the landfill. I managed to finish the first bottle, and found it to be almost, but not quite, entirely unpleasant. Mixing an overroasted, burnt coffee taste with a hint of Coca-Cola aftertaste is one of their less-brilliant moves of the last few years.
