Blak is....

I'll avoid the obvious "Blak is blech" here . I don't think it really is blech anyway. I was convinced to try it on the premise that it was something to be experienced.

I don't think I need to experience it again.

It's supposed to be a fusion of coffee and cola - a blend of two favorites. It's not terrible, it's just not good. I can't envision myself wanting a 'cool, refreshing blak.' It pains me to even write it, let alone say it. Never mind drinking it.

What is it exactly like? It's like flat cola that you poured in a coffee cup you forgot to rinse out. Tasty, hmmm? Not enough carbonation, not enough coffee-ness.

Maybe it's the cold coffee part. That should never be. I'm not a fan of iced coffee drinks, but at least those have the milk or whatever additive that makes them taste alright. I like my coffee hot and strong and some would say bitter, and this is .... coked down coffee for lack of a better term.

And yeah - for some reason I drank the whole thing. As if it was going to change by the time I got to the bottom. It didn't.

{sigh} Some things shouldn't be messed with.

Note: Spellchecker did not like Blak (heh) and some of the recommended replacements were bleak and blase. :)

It was fun to watch you drink it though. I think it was after, what, the second sip, that you summed it all up with:
"This is just wrong."

Funny.

Not so much wrong as... not right. What did I say "It wasn't what it could be, though I wasn't sure what it was supposed to be, but it couldnt' be that it was supposed to be what it was." Or something equally unintelligible. ;)
