minus-squareazimir@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up22·3 months agoI’ve been trying the cheaper stuff. Some of it is great. Don’t be afraid to try the bottom shelf items these days.
minus-squarecosmicrookie@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·3 months agoIn many cases, although not with coca cola, the bottom shelf products are made in the same place where the top brands are made. Some times they even have the same product but different packaging

minus-squareA_norny_mousse@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·3 months agoDidn’t know that was an actual brand; in my youth it was a colloquial name for a 50/50 mix of coke and orange lemonade. Another name was diesel.
