  Speaker 1: Indiana loves orange crush.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: I do love an orange crush. Good orange.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Now I kind of made a mistake. Uh oh, I
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: was the one person who really loved the coke with
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: coffee that they put out.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, they were like the little thin can, right.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a little thin can. Katie liked it.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Okay, is it like an energy drink?
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: It's just coke. It's just coke with coffee.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's all it was.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: And so Sue said, why don't we have a coke
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: coke with coffee, except let's use doctor pepper hmm. And
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: so I did that and I tasted it at home. Yeah,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I made it at home. Didn't quite taste right, what
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: dripped coffee or yeah, just you know, left over coffee.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Didn't quite taste right. So I thought maybe if I
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: put a little half and half in there, that might help.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Kerry, you know that's what the dirty sodas are.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it didn't help. Oh yeah, so I gotta
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: buy I gotta find a place that still. I don't
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: know if they still make the coke with coffee. They don't.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Katie says, no, you were the only one that bought it.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Apparently I was the only one that bought it.
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: Oh, you're burgeoning into content that we could post online
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: if you make it and just the most ridiculous sodas.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Well, let me give one to you. Yeah you ready,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I dare you to try this? Sure you have red
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: wine at home?
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah? I do.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Half coke half red wine.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: Oh I've heard that. Yeah, that's a great combo.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Cocoo.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it sounds really weird.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: I've heard you talk about this before, but I've never
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: tried it.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: It sounds weird, but it is delicious.
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: Coke also pairs well with tequila, but you don't mix it.
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: You use coke as the chaser. Ah okay, yeah, it's
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: like a perfect chaser.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: So with the coco veno is it? It's just straight
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: half and half half.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: And half over ice. Hmm. You'll thank me.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: You've talked about it before and I haven't dared.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: You'll try It'll go Wow, where has this been all
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: my life?
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: Let's see the hell of a drink to get like wasted?
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah right, your body doesn't know what to do, uh, Gina.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: I think the reason you enjoy coke when you feel
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: nauseous is that it hasn't adicinal effect. When I was
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: sick as a child, my doctor would prescribe us to
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: coke syrup to help with nausea. Would either chase your
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: nausea away or make you throw up, and then you're
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: gonna feel better one way or another.
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: I get terrible seasonal allergies and I love like a
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: real strength coke yea to the bubbles alleviate the throat.
• 7:21

  Speaker 1: I love squirt or bug.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Mug is my favorite.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and what do you what do you mix squirt with?
