They may bottle up dark brown liquid but it is not Coca Cola, I drink it every day and I could blind test it with any Cola drink and get it right.

Your mates full of crap and it still begs the question as to why Coke would sell the same product with inferior packaging for less money?

I'm sure thats how they made their billions

I'm a fan of that! If at a bar they have Pepsi, I have lemonade

You mean truck drivers aren't the sharpest tools in the box?

So you think woolies make all their own brand stuff do you?

Of course they don't, someone makes it for them.

I once worked in a factory making fridges and freezers, they made Electrolux ones, Zanussi ones and also ones for comet and dixons. Comet and dixons ones were cheaper than Electrolux and zanussi. And believe me there was no difference whatsoever.

You may roll your pretty little eyes as much as you like, i'm telling you its coke, whether you choose to believe me is another matter

It might be made by Coke but it's a different recipe. I have drank a glass of coke and a glass of cola and they taste different, they even smell different and as everyone knows the smell is what you taste.

I'm not saying this just to wind you up or anything, I'm telling you they are two different drinks.

jazzys

Fair enough but it definately comes from the coke factory. You've probably never been to a coke factory but they have different lines that do different drinks. There is one line that does coke in bottles and one line that does coke in cans, others do thinks like mount franklin water, powerade, Jim beam nad coke, kirks lemonade etc. But only two lines do coke, one bottled and one canned. And as far as i know all they do is change the bottle it goes in and it doesn't get a label

I think that’s what is probably happening. Because the Aldi coke is “Regal Coke” and I think “Regal” the soft drink company is owned by Coke a Cola in Australia. But it definitely doesn’t taste the same as the real thing. Also, I've only seen the cans in aldi not the bottles, also wouldn't the bottle be different as Coke actually have rights to their specific bottle shape, only for coke a cola?

So maybe a different recipe.

Actually, Aldi do sell brand stuff under their own brand. Not sure about Coke, but the baby food jars are made by Heinz for Aldi here in Oz.

Sometimes the packaging is similar, other times it's different, but you will find that many of Aldi's products are actually made by brands you know.

Check here
and here
So it certainly would not surprise me that Jazzys's mate was telling the truth. I do believe that people's attitude to food brands is a lot in the mind...

I've just had a Happy Shopper flashback ... ahhh ...

LouiseR

Interesting about the Heinz baby food I used to buy Nutricia over here which is Cow And Gate just renamed but I did pour the Cola and Coke in two identical glasses and honestly didn't know which was which but they both smelt and tasted differently.

jazzys

I just wonder why people think my mate might be telling me lies.

Not like he's gunna gain much from it.

Nobody at the factory even knows what the recipe is.

No one is saying he is lying, maybe he just doesn’t know.

It might come from the same factory and made by the same company, but it doesn’t mean it’s the same drink.

elice_in_oz

TBH, I'm not a Coke fan and I can't even tell the difference between Coke and Pepsi so I'll leave the tasting to you

canadaeh

You should be shot!

LouiseR

Agreed! Also the people who think Coke Zero tastes like Full Fat Coke should be shot too. And men who drink Diet Coke.
