Modern parents are so cruel: you could easily take one litre with you for each day out of the country. Such deprivation! He will never appreciate the cow bells if he doesn't get his regular Rivella!
I forget, was it the yellow that tasted something like Ginger-ale, or is it the green? That's the only one I even come close to liking, whichever it is.
It doesn't help that I don't care for the flavor of regular bottled water here anyhow, tastes very mineral-y. On the other hand, I do like the Volvic raspberry and other flavors, as well as the Henniez fruity water, most especially the Mango-Yuzu. That is very tasty!
Can it be less appealing than something containing the folloing ingredients: high fructuose corn syrup, caramel colour, caffeine, phosphoric acid, coca extract, kola nut extract, lime extract, vanilla and glycerine?
Can I clean my toilet with it? That is the only thing Coca Cola is good for...
(note from this Hausfrau... if you have calcium build up in your toilet bowl then pour a litre or so of Coca Cola in... leave overnight and give a scrub in the morning... hey presto it is like new) (and no it is not as effective if you let your body be the filter beforehand)
I disagree - Coke is an awesome ingredient in my BBQ sauce AND I just came upon (and tried) a cake recipe calling for Cherry Coke which was very very nice too.
I bet Rivella would be a good addition to pancake batter, the carbonation helping to make them lighter and fluffier while adding less sugar and other nasties compared to 7-UP or Sprite.
Of course, that's true for just plain carbonated water. It works because the carbonation produces carbonic acid in the water which lowers the pH to about about 3-4....the same as any carbonated beverage. The fact that you are using Coke versus any other carbonated beverage is irrelevant.
My god, I think you have discovered the secret of free energy - kids drink rivella, use empty bottle instead of facilities, drink 'rivella', use empty bottle, drink 'rivella'...
I tried Rivella when I first moved here, but the taste was a bit funky. So I read the label and discovered that it's made from Cheese Water.... I decided to stick with diet Coke.
You did not expect it. Alright. But exactly THIS is the unique idea about it. I still remember the family meeting when my brother took the ugly bitter Pepita but they did not have either Orangina or Sinalco, and I was not exactly up for a Cola, and so, my Godmother (mentioned above) advocated Rivella which then was still relatively new on the market. And stated that it was an amazing mix of healthy milk with a fizzy mineral water and some spices added. Dad found it interesting and turned to his beer and mum (out of a family of wine-growers) turned to a glass of red wine and big brother (the personified opposition) uttered something like "we have to do with milk-drinks and the antiques have the real things"
