SNJCruisers Posted March 4, 2018 #251 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Do you remember what happened shortly after April 23, 1985, or what happened on July 11, 1985?Two days later, on July 13, 1985 was when Live Aid occurred in London and Philadelphia. Anyone remember who sang at both venues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meatball_nyc Posted March 4, 2018 #253 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Two days later, on July 13, 1985 was when Live Aid occurred in London and Philadelphia. Anyone remember who sang at both venues? Phil Collins. Not sure if he had a Rum n Coke though. P.S. Sorry. Rum n Pepsi. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inspiration100 Posted March 4, 2018 #255 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I don't care that much about Coke vs. Pepsi (my preference is Coke at the moment), but what I do care about is having other options. Why doesn't NCL have Root Beer or Mr.Pibb? Very limited selection! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FucusVesiculosus Posted March 4, 2018 #258 Share Posted March 4, 2018 As a newbie, I've been amazed this thread is one of the busiest. I was considering started my own thread... Does the Jade provide English Breakfast Tea, or PG Tips? ;);) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the Jade provide English Breakfast Tea, or PG Tips? ;);) They have quite a good selection of teas in the buffet. I drink iced tea for breakfast and lunch and make my own. My preference is Earl Grey. They have green tea and several herbals offered. You can ask for your preference in any of the dining rooms when ordering. They bring you a tea pot and however many bags you ask for. Vic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexddd Posted March 4, 2018 #261 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Yeah, they have Mug root beer and even an orange soda, maybe orange slice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Presto2 Posted March 4, 2018 #263 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Am not sure if this has been answered but sorry if it has - Do they do decaf Coke / Pepsi. Have to stick to decaf due to medical reasons. It isn't a big issue but am just curious Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNJCruisers Posted March 4, 2018 #264 Share Posted March 4, 2018 My bad, I thought Mr. Pibb was also Pepsi, I knew Mug was.If I'm not mistaken, Mr Pibb is a regionalized poor man's version of Dr Pepper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inspiration100 Posted March 4, 2018 #265 Share Posted March 4, 2018 If I'm not mistaken, Mr Pibb is a regionalized poor man's version of Dr Pepper. After buying the soda pass I became a poor man, so Mr. Pibb would fit me well if it were a Pepsi product. Bought my soda pass for a our 18 day cruise, quite pricey.

Highway robbery compared to their competitors, but of course most get it as a perk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuizer2 Posted March 4, 2018 #267 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Is that when Michael Jackson's hair caught on fire filming the Pepsi commercial? Nope. Here is a hint ... "We're not that dumb and we're not that smart." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inspiration100 Posted March 5, 2018 #268 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Didn't they try to reformulate coke (after blind taste tests results showed the new formula tasted better) and it caused a major public backlash? I remember reading about this at the World of Coke in Atlanta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geneticfreak Posted March 5, 2018 #269 Share Posted March 5, 2018 If I'm not mistaken, Mr Pibb is a regionalized poor man's version of Dr Pepper. Mr Pibb is a coke product, but usually only found in areas where coke doesn’t have the rights to distribute Dr Pepper. Dr Pepper is a Cadbury/Swheppes item that is surprisingly not distributed by the Dr Pepper/Snapple Group which handles Canada Dry and 7UP, instead it is contracted out to regional coke or Pepsi bottlers. It gets even stranger in some areas where Coke might have the fountain rights, but Pepsi has the bottling rights. Is that enough to make your head spin? Try working for a retailer that sees these different scenarios play out not just across state line, but can vary from county to county.

That would be Sierra Mist or Diet Sierra Mist. You also have to watch the various root beers and orange as some have contain caffeine. I'd have to check if Mug and Orange Slice fall into that category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakesnana Posted March 5, 2018 #275 Share Posted March 5, 2018 While my DH is a diehard diet Dr. Pepper drinker, he managed while we were on the Dawn by getting diet Pepsi with a squirt of grenadine in it. Gave it just enough of a cherry taste to be passable for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
