  Speaker 4: Number one cup?

  Speaker 2: All right?

  Speaker 4: You'll find out you don't even know what that is.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: You'll find he's in the navy, of course he does.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: I already know.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Can I give my answer?
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: I think I might as well.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: But let's let's taste them both.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's number one.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: Number one, and then try number two.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: All right, I don't know they taste the same thing.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying. That's my argument.
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: If Jimmy Santangelo is here, he would insists that we
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: have a palate cleans.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I should have got yelled some water.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Oh here, I have some some Twizzlers nibs that would
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: have to be sold. Oh no, I have some some peanuts,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: but they're honey covered.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: That would interfere with the test.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you they taste They taste pretty much the same.
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: Okay, Sybilla, you're saying same thing. You don't have an
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: opinion either way, okay, Carrie.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: All right, I they do both taste the same to me.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: I don't like either of them. But I think number
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: one is diet coke.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: Okay, all right, No.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Number one is coke zero.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: That's now. When I first took when I took the
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: first sip of number one, I said, I think that's
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: coke zero. But then I took a sip of the
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: other one, and I said, taste like coke zero.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: That's see that.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: That's my argument to you, mom, is that they taste
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: the same. But you think number one is coke zero.
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: Number two is die coke? Yes, okay?
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: Is that correct? You would be correct? Okay? Yeah? Oh
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: boy is impressive.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Now we should have also done regular coke, because I
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: think they try to sell coke zero like, if you
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: like coke, have coke zero because it's just like coke
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: without the sugar, and it does not taste anything like coke.
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: Which we discussed this last night having regular coke be involved.
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: But I think that you'd be able to tell, yeah,
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: one is one is coke zero, one is zero.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: And now as I've shipped them a little bit more,
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: and now that I know what they are, the the
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: diet coke has a little bit less sweetness to it.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: It's more chemically.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: It's a little it's chemical, a little crisper. The the
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: coke zero is a little heavier, like it's trying to
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: be mimic syrup, but it's not syrup.
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: And I kind of get that now that I'm trying
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: them both, I kind of get that too.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, if I'm picking, I'll go with coke zero.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: Really that's kind of my thought it as well.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: But I don't mix that with a with a booze.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Carry would you mix a coke coke zero?
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Something sweet?
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Now, I I would say also that I think coke
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: zero the Coca Cola company, is not wrong. It is
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: closer to what coke tastes like than diet coke. Coke
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: zero approaches the taste of coke regular coke.
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: I think if it's a preferent I I do prefer
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: the coke zero.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, if I'm gonna I would rather have
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: a regular coke well zero.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: If that's what I'm going zero calories.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: Then you should have coke zero because it does taste
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: more like regular coke than diet coke.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: Diet coke taste more chemically.
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: I just I'm going back and forth between these two
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: just consistently, and coke zero wins every time.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: You know, and you've got two bottles and you're drinking
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: out of boat yea, Now now you're gonna have to
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: go pee?
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I know.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Excuse me, Andrew in the chat room.
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: My wife had to drink coke zero in Portugal because
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: they didn't have diet coke. Oh, she was fine with that.
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: As a matter of fact, I think that's correct. If
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: you go over in other countries.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: Are they have coke light, which is a.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Different Yeah, I don't know if they still I don't
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: know if they still.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: Have that, but let's see of that.
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: I tried coke zero multiple times, can't get into it.
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: But all the other zero sugar pops I like, I.
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: Like, they have an orange cream flavor of coke zero. Yeah,
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: that's actually pretty good.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: Is it like a orange crush kind of yeah? Yeah,
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: and still same thing, zero calories.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Is it coke mixed with cream orange cream?
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: It's like the you know those those machines that you
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: can you know, the touch screen ones, you can get
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: whatever flavors you want.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: Oh, the freestyle you.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Better, you better try those out right now, because I
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: bet they don't have those on Diego Garcia.

  Speaker 4: I bet they're both. I bet they're both. Yeah, they
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: I mean actually coke.
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: I feel like I've seen more in like the the
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: dining facilities.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: I feel like it's mostly coke.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: Okay, good, well it's but but when do you ever
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: see when do you ever see pepsi cans around or
• 6:25

• 6:30
  Speaker 1: that the only thing you can get is pepsi.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Broughtuct I know that, but I don't know how pepsi
