Free Product!

Ok, I’ve mentioned it before – I’m a member on pureprofile.com – a market research site where you go and answer questionnaires every so often and they’ll credit your account, or do stuff for you. I’ve been a member for quite a while, and have built up a not-too-bad balance which I might draw out sometime soon.

Recently I was offered to receive “a new product from a soft drink company” and of course, free stuff, why not? So I filled in my details, telling them where to send it, not expecting for it to happen. But it did! Today I received a big black package in the mail, and opening it I found a carton of a new product by Coca-Cola Amatil, “Coke Zero.” Twenty-four 390ml bottles, just for me. Ooh, and I got one of those weird rubber wristband things that says “the zero movement”. Here’s some photos (and one of the PimpMobile post-doofage).

    I was going to comment, anyway, seeing as I was reading this as you gave me the link…lol. So what’s with the coke zero? Is it one of those no sugar things?

  • It’s supposedly zero-sugar. It’s also full-nasty. Too much nutra-sweet, tastes like Pepsi Max.

    Take that back!
    Coke Zero tastes no where near as good as Pepsi Max
    Trust Coke to try and copy a good thing and stuff even that up!

    I work @ Woolies HQ, we got dumped with so much Zero, most people didn’t like it (People hate the guys who work @ Coke anyway – arrogant) so we chucked it out.

    It flopped in America, probably will here. Coke should go back to what they are good at – killing Columbians! I know this is the extreme site but it was all over the news the other day… check it out : http://www.killercoke.org

    Cool blog!

  • Ok. You’re a complete random, but you took the time to register and post, so I thought it would be funny to approve the comment. Free speech and all that.

    All cola products are pretty nasty, only good for their caffeine content – oh, and Pepsi sucks.

  • Woolies HQ has a mole! Now i know why i can never work for coke here in Australia, I am not arrogant and I have not killed one single columbian.

    You could boycott zero in favour of Columbian Cola, check out this great australian company at http://www.columbiancola.com

  • Bruno, love your site dude – anything that goes into my bookmarks pretty much straight away has to be a good thing. Keep it up!

    Oh, and I used to be a hardcore drinker of Columbian while I was in high school at the arse end of the 90’s – can’t find it as easily anymore.
