    I refuse to buy it even though its so cheap.

    There must be something wrong with it in my opinion.
    Missing alot of ingredient's that make coke coke
    Diluted with water or worse
    It's pepsi


    Whats your say?

    Its cheap and tastes crap


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,130 ✭✭✭✭Kiera


    I clean my jewlery/oil from my driveway in cola. Thats how rank all cola is.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,563 ✭✭✭karlog


    Is there any tesco value item thats worth buying

    Even the tesco vodka is killer
    I could run my car on it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,322 ✭✭✭✭MrStuffins


    I used to really like Tesco Cola, even the Value one for 29c. But i bought a bottle last week and there was this weird taste right after drinking it. It was like Cigarette Ash or something.

    I gave my GF some to make sure i wasn't going crazy and she tasted it too.

    But up until then i always liked it. Have you ever tried it? You'll find alot of Tesco brand stuff is just as tasty as any

    Cheap cola is extremely good for making ribs though, boil them in it before covering in BBQ sauce and roasting. They become really tender and have a lot more flavour. I think it's because it's even more sickly sweet to drink than coke or pepsi that it gives flavour to the meat.

    Yeh i tried loads didn't mind the orange juice and i can cope with the toilet paper although theres been many occasion where my arse has been cut to bits:(

    And you can get banned from arguing:confused: i just got a warning

    Tesco Kick is good.

    It's basically the same as Red Bull but a mere fraction of the price.
    You can buy 1litre of Tesco Kick for about the same price as a Red Bull can, and they are very small cans!

    Every student who has ever sat exams and pulled an all-nighter knows of Tesco Kick ;)

    Ties into this thread if people want Vodka & Red Bull at a house-party.
    I wouldn't touch Tesco Value Vodka though. I'm not saying it's bad but it's just a few euro more for Smirnoff or other good brand.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,322 ✭✭✭✭MrStuffins


    Maybe not for arguing. I got an infraction for caling you an idiot and today found i was banned for "trolling"

    Anyway, Tesco Kick is a great shout. I've pulled loadsa all nighters before exams on that stuff.

    You can get 1L bottles of Diet Kick for 89c or something. So i can stay awake And watch my figure :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,732 ✭✭✭Reganio 2


    Tesco cheap biscuits are alright.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,986 ✭✭✭✭mikemac


    Yeah, was 89c for years.

    In the last few months, it's gone to 1.27!
    Such much for Tesco dropping prices.......

    I'd still pay it though

    Still a great price.

    BEST EVER are the Tesco Onion Rings, big bag for just 72c (they've gone up recently but the bag is bigger)

    NICEST SNACKS EVER!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,563 ✭✭✭karlog


    tesco value eggs

    cant understand why there cheaper then any other eggs. They came out of the same type of hen i hope
    unless there bird eggs


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,322 ✭✭✭✭MrStuffins


    Its the same thing with Milk

    I know a guy who worked packaging Milk. Apparently, Avonmore, Premier Dairies and Tesco are all the EXACT same milk.

    And Avonmore and PD are owned by the same company, they charge 15c more for a Litre of Avonmore

    I totally agree, they are much nicer than any of the other brands which more expensive.

    Indeed!

    They're about €1.20 now but the bag is bigger.

    They recently got rid of the "Prawn Cocktail Shells" from the Multi Packs, the Tecso rip off of Skips.

    But last week i noticed they have giant packs of those now, and for like €70.

    I love Tesco :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 527 ✭✭✭joeperry


    There crunchy peanut butter is nice too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,754 ✭✭✭✭Princess Consuela Bananahammock


    IIRC correctly, it's about 40c for 2 litres. Drastcially overpriced.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    I hate all fizzy drinks, and would never have them in my house. Carbonated shyte. Considering how cheap the Tesco cola is, its probably watered down to fcuk and barely carbonated. It's probably better for you than the dearer ones :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    I got addicted to that during my exams last month


    feels good man

    Tesco 75c pizza.
    The sauce is really nice.

    Just use it as a base and throw on a bit more cheese and your own toppings.
    Even on its own it makes a half decent snack.

    There's a tesco "premium" brand, and that's all my dogs will eat, along with aldi food that seems to never be in stock.

    They make a good frisby too !

    I hear the trick to tesco vodka is to pass it through a Brita filter first

    Tesco vodka has fueled about 90% of my nights out. It's all the same, just alcohol and water. Yeah, there might be some impurities in it, but nowhere near the amount of funky **** you find in any beer, cider or wine.

    I used to be a fan of tesco kick untill i found out about boots caffeine pills.


    also, 29c swiss rolls ftw!

    Truly excellent value indeed :D


    Also: I really like Tesco Diet Cola. Not the Tesco Value stuff (29c), the Tesco Value stuff is vile vile vile, but the not Tesco Value stuff (49c) is fine.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,442 ✭✭✭Firetrap


    It's fine if it's ice cold and you're thirsty. The Spar own brand cola is way way worse than the Tesco one. I'd say it would be good for cleaning toilets.

    Well when I worked in supervalu one day there was avonmore milk a packet with supervalu milk! and another time a few supervalu milks had the avnomore lids on them, different colour to the supervalu ones so yeah we reckon they're the same

    Tesco's lemonade tastes like water with an old damp rag thrown in...

    i can tell you now that avonmore and premier daries are both the same . they both owned by glanbia . only the labels change. the milk is the same. same goes for tesco and supervalu branded milk, both of these are avonmore milk too just own branded labels.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,992 ✭✭✭✭partyatmygaff


    Yeah but the reason they're cheaper is because they put lower grade milk(For lack of a better phrase) to lowerr the costs usually.
    Same way computer makers have one chip for 3 types of CPU and the higher quality ones are used for top-end premium products.


    For the record, Tesco Value cola for 29 cent is disgusting beyond belief, its terrible, their own brand 49c cola is also disgusting but drinkable, their other Sun Spray Brand for 49c is pretty nice though. Tesco Premium Cola tastes rank though and it costs €1.20, it tastes nothing like actual cola.

    Their Value stuff is usually sh1te, pure sh1te really. Their finest stuff are usually much better than other brand name things besides the cola
