Coke Taste Test

I had the opportunity to see first-hand how the different Coke formulations vary from region to region. A friend who travels a lot brought several different cans back for us to try out.
Tested were Japanese, Chinese, American (low-sodium), and Canadian.
Here’s what I found:
– The Japanese-style Coke tasted light, and not too sweet, but without much body.
– The Chinese-style was sweeter, and fruity. It tasted almost like Pepsi.
– The U.S. style was a little oily-tasting, and reminded me a little of Dr. Pepper.
– The Canadian Coke was sweet and full of flavour, perhaps the most flavourful of the four. Almost cloying, and rich like fountain syrup.
I’m not 100% sure, but I seem to remember something about the types of sugar used in the Canadian and U.S. Cokes being different, though it could just be the quantities that are different.
For my part, I think I liked the Chinese Coke the best. Fruity and not too sweet.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
