Live music!
(big surprise, huh?) Especially, live New Orleans music. Most especially, the enduring and ongoing 30 years of The World's Best Live Rock N Roll by The Radiators. |

Grand Theft Auto III*. Silly, isn't it. I have Vice City but that froze on my PS2 (still going through withdraw on that). I tried San Andreas, but they changed the driving controls and that ended whatever they do with the franchise.
But on a night where I have nothing else to do, I pop in GTA III, crank up my iTunes and play within the virtual sandbox. I have a few other games, but this one is completely unlocked, fully loaded and always a great time killer. The usual, already mentioned addictions; coffee, books and here's a new one...Raisinets. *I can't believe that guy beat them all with that POS Kuruma! "I always question the received reality.

Sloppy Joes. And not even special, gourmet Sloppy Joes, just browned hamburger meat and a can of, Jesus forgive me, Manwich, on white buns. It's my secret shame.
It's not like I have a horrible diet or eat a lot of junk food, or anything. It's just that every once and a while I get a craving, and once I make em up I cannot stop eating them. I mean, eat till I'm actually kinda sick can't stop. Something about white bread and meat and tomato sauce is like heroin to me. My only solution is to make them infrequently. That which doesn't kill you weakens you slightly and makes you less able to cope until you're completely incapacitated |

I have a similar guilty pleasure to addabox's, in that I crave the crappy frozen pizza. Tony's to be precise. They're awful, obviously, but sooo delicious in a if-anybody-ever-catches-me-I'll-be-mortified sort of way. They're so terrible that one can usually find them on sale for 5/$10. Of course I never just buy 1/$2, I'll go whole-hog every time and pick up all 5 of the damn things, and eat them in a matter of a couple days before anyone finds them in my freezer. The way-too-sweet tomato sauce and fake cheese on a cardboard crust is SO GOOD.
And so nasty. So it goes. |

Publix cream soda. Haven't found a brand cream soda that is as good yet, but I can't get the Publix soda in NJ, therefore when I am home in Florida I drink nothing but cream soda.

I've become addicted to Klondike bars, and seem to have little or no control over the craving. If I buy them, I eat them 'all' in a fairly short period of time. Yumyumyumyummmmmm..... So, I have to avoid buying them as the only measure of self-control I can manage. Sheesh! I think I've mentioned earlier in the thread that I feel pretty certain that garlic is addictive, at least for 'some' people. I wonder if that Manwich stuff has garlic in it. I bet it does. |

So lol for quoting myself, but come Friday I'll be at 8 weeks without pop or caffeine. That withdrawal sucked. 13-day migraine. But it's over, and I'm beyond it now. I've lost 12 pounds in 2 months.

I have tried it...
...I've heard the French version is better. Oh, and it's discontinued in the US. I don't understand why Coca-Cola doesn't bring their Georgia canned coffee brand to the US, though. It's named after a state, for crying out loud! It is my right as an American to be able to buy conveniently heated (in winter)/chilled (in summer) cans of coffee from a vending machine. and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong |

Never heard of it. Pretty sure it is god-awful coffee. I would still drink it. But wouldn't drinking it hot be kind of difficult? As in painful? artesc all the way! |

I still have the occasional cup but that's not too often anymore. Ironically I might be working at a Starbucks this summer though, so who knows what's gonna happen. |

Haha, well, Coke's headquarters are in (the state of) Georgia, so I think that's where they got the name.

I mean, there is an art to making a fine coffee but unless you go to an independent coffeehouse you're not going to get that anyway. How would a bottler making coffee be any different than the Starbucks barista making it with a push-button machine from a premade "beverage base"? It wouldn't - the only thing that's different is the image, the illusion. And everybody knows that. When you go to Starbucks you aren't paying five bucks for a Vivanno, you're paying five bucks for going to Starbucks - the comfy seats, the jazzy music, the friendly people, the quaint image of a small-town cafe with chalkboard menus. The image of it all, that "third place" between home and work, that's what you're paying for. And everybody knows this because nobody in their right mind would pay five bucks for Starbucks's actual coffee, let's be real. But it's a recession, and even though Starbucks is a small luxury, even that has to go sometimes, and maybe there's a market for people who don't give a shit about the illusion and just want their damn coffee. I'm sure canned coffee isn't going to be the most gourmet blend or whatever, but it doesn't have to be. It would just have to be convenient, inexpensive, and "good enough." And it's good enough for millions of Japanese people - Japan is the only region Coca-Cola operates in where Coke is not their best-selling beverage, and Georgia sells twice as much. Given all the above economic factors - plus the growing popularity of energy drinks and the growing health concerns with sugary sodas - why wouldn't Coke try to emulate that success over here? Like you said, even if it was godawful coffee, you'd still drink it. I would too. I mean, even Starbucks - upmarket, image-selling Starbucks - sells a canned Doubleshot "energy drink" here. Quote:

Roboman: it could be Coca-Cola doesn't sell Georgia here because they're the American distributor for Illy Issimo.
