Personally, I don't like cola drinks that much.
The only exception being, with fried rice.
I guess that has to do with my very first job. I was a delivery boy and dishwasher at a Chinese restaurant.
I always had a bottle of Coke with my plate of chicken fried rice. Now, it has to be either Coke, or A&W with that fried rice.
Students - never underestimate the impact of your first job.
My first was as a lowly dishwasher, and delivery boy.
Yet, I learned how to prepare a meal of simple fried-rice that has everyone coming back for more.
