Everybody wants a piece of the action

ventaThis is a fairly pointless post, made in order to see what the score with the new posting form is. Everyone seems to be moaning about it, but beyond it being different, and a little ugly-ly laid out, I've yet to work out why it's so heinous.
If you know, you're welcome to tell me.

Date: 2004-09-23 05:34 am (UTC)Honest, I'm not making these ones up :)
Malevon sounds like a proprietary skincare product, I'm sticking with malefit.
(To be pronounced mal-a-fit, of course, or it'd be silly.)

Date: 2004-09-23 05:35 am (UTC)The vanilla is also less minging if you have massive cravings and can't wait for the bottle to cool down in the fridge before you have some.

...unless its that, obviously.
Re: Touch on the causes of coke ?
Date: 2004-09-23 05:43 am (UTC)Just because I've been surprised at the number of people who do drink coke who don't like it, and was wondering how widespread dislike was. But mostly, since I like it, I just wanted to know if there was anyone else out there who liked it at all, since I'd kind of like the stuff to stay on the market. Among people who don't like it, I'm not so bothered about why, and shall assume it's malice on their part.
I still remember the bitter disappointment when Hooch's Ginger Brew stopped being made simply because "no one bought it". I did! Ditto the sausagemeat pasties that Nash's in the covered market (Oxford) used to sell - then discontinued because apparently only I bought them.
To be honest, I think I probably assumed that people who didn't like coke wouldn't have bothered trying the vanilla one, so wouldn't actually know for sure.

Date: 2004-09-23 04:36 am (UTC)Apart from that, yeah. Different layout. who cares? Though I am now a little confused that I can't seem to see any difference between the simple and full pages for posting. :)

Date: 2004-09-23 04:51 am (UTC)What I do notice is that
a) the options fields are now properly immediately below the content field, instead of having a big gap between the two.
b) the preview options works! Although the spell checker still checks HTML.

Date: 2004-09-23 05:50 am (UTC)You're right about strawberries. Banana flavour, however, is quite nice - bugger all like bananas, but enjoyable in its own right if you don't make the comparison.

Date: 2004-09-23 05:57 am (UTC)I have. As I remember I got ver confused by it, because my brain knows that drinks with banananana in should be thicker consistency (like smoothies) and very I was fairly surprised by the banana flavour every mouthful :)

Date: 2004-09-23 06:56 am (UTC)Definitive answers.
Date: 2004-09-23 06:55 am (UTC)I prefer sugar-free drinks, but Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi aren't very nice either. Pepsi Max is my cola of choice!
Re: Definitive answers.
Date: 2004-09-23 06:58 am (UTC)I've been having a bit of a disappointment on this score recently.
I like vanilla, it's the finest of the flavours. However, vanilla flavouring is often nasty (qv. strawberries, above (http://www.livejournal.com/users/venta/111091.html?thread=1430771#t1430771)).
In particular - vanilla milkshakes clearly should be nice. However, the two I've tried (Nesquik and Frijj) have both been vile, sickly, overpowering monstrosities. These have left me doubly disappointed - both because they were nasty, and because they should have been so great.
