Right then, at work, we’ve got this table of drinks. It’s a sort of self-service refreshment station, if you will, and today, it fell to me to do the restocking. Now, before anyone points it out, yes, the arrangement is a bit wonky. But it’s been a long day, and frankly, I couldn’t care less about symmetry at this point.
Anyway, this got me pondering something rather important: which of these beverages will be the first to run out? Here’s what we’re working with:
Proper Coca-Cola (the real deal).
Coke Zero (the one without the sugar).
Fanta Zero Sugar (an orange fizzy drink trying very hard).
Diet Coke (self-explanatory).
Smart Water (for the hydration purists).
Sprite (the low-calorie version).
Sprite Zero Sugar (for those who enjoy lemon-lime vapour).
Now, there’s a vital footnote here: the water isn’t just for drinking—it also gets pressed into service for the kettle. This is, of course, for making tea and coffee, because we’re British, and if tea doesn’t flow, society collapses.
So, what do we think? Which drink will be the first to disappear into the void?
