An Interesting Drink Pass A Park Employee Offered Me Today

While I was at the Chicken Shack, an employee offered me a deal on a drink "pass" for my souvenir cup. He said that I could pay $8. Then, he would put my bar code into the system for the day. After that, my drinks would be unlimited for the day. Has anyone else been offered this deal?

I just telephone Kings Island. This is what I was told. This drink "plan" was very recently initiated. The cost is $6.99 + tax. The total would be $7.46. Although all of the vendors are supposed to be able to reset your code, not all of them know about the plan yet. She said that if you ask for the plan, and the vendor doesn't know what you're talking about, you need to tell them to call the front desk.

(my thoughts) Or, to be on the safe side, just go to The Chicken Shack first. We know that they know about it.

I often go to Kings Island with several of my children. We often share the drinks in the drink cups. Also, I will sometimes only drink half before I throw the drink away. On a hot day, the ice melts so fast that it gets watered-down quite quickly.

I'm not a big fan of the refillable up (great deal, I just don't like to carry it around) but I do have one. Have you noticed how Coke is particularly delicious out of it? I do agree that the ice melts and it makes it too watered down, but you get about 10 minutes of bliss.

Of course, I'm weird when it comes to soft drinks...

Fountain: Coke Classic only

20 oz bottle: Diet Pepsi or Coke Zero

2 liter : Diet Coke

For some reason the container makes a big difference for me. I can't do Coke Zero from a fountain. It's undrinkable for me... but out of a 20oz it's my favorite. On the other hand, Coke Classic is way to sticky for me when in 20oz form, but has a bolder flavor than Diet from a fountain. Am I alone on this?

I also think Coke Zero is nearly undrinkable from the fountain. I love it in cans, so much so that Cherry Coke Zero was what finally got me to entirely give up sugared soft drinks. I was ok with diet fruit-flavored sodas, but diet cola just tasted nasty to me, so I occasionally would still drink Coca-Cola Classic. Once I found the Cherry Zero I switched to it. I was so excited the first time I saw Zero instead of Diet at a fountain, until I tasted it.

I don't mind diet colas from the fountain these days. I refuse to get Zero from a fountain again though, it just tastes awful. I haven't noticed much difference between 20 oz bottles or cans. It is rare I get 20 oz bottles though.

I've become so used to diet and Zero drinks at this point that regular corn syrup or sugar soda tastes weird to me, whether in cans, bottles, or from the fountain.

I miss returnable bottles.

Particularly the 6.5 ounce Coca-Cola returnables. yes, they tasted different. Very different. Sweeter, stronger.

7 oz. bottles of 7Up. Hospitals served them.

Then again, 7Up had lithium in it til 1950. My parents would have been overjoyed had that been available when I was a kid.

So fascinating (it gets MUCH better after the intro--note the come on down to the plant invitation):

It was also made with real sugar, not corn syrup back then. Much better taste.

Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.

Just don't get too reminiscent like this guy did. Lol
