I wonder if it's going to be as terrible as all other non-farmer's union iced coffees are?

Guess I'll give it a go but I doubt it'll beat what I call heroin in a milk drink.

I see Coke failing...

When has Coke not failed? They feel the need to tarnish something else now?

Others have tried, and failed, to match Farmers' Union Iced Coffee multiple times. Those who drink it are pretty pedantic about what it is that makes them like it and not other brands. I tend to drink Classic Iced Coffee, instead, because it tastes less like liquid Weetbix to me.... 8)

Hmm, reading this just makes me want some Farmer's Union. Might buy a couple 3L bottles tomorrow.

I noticed, I think none would beat farmers union either but I'm willing to try anything new even if its just once

Coke are going to fail. The number of people who are tightarses about everything else but buy Farmers' Union iced coffee even when other brands are on sale is a good indicator in this case.

Interestingly, at work we have a half-regular customer (a regular who's only around half the year, the other half he's in Darwin) who buys Paul's Iced Coffee because it's the NT equivalent of Farmers' Union.

actually NT now has Farmer's union aswell as Paul's, Dave... You shouldve asked me! :lol: My aunt used to live in NT until this year, for your information, and I went up to see her last year... hence that knowledge... Paul's were pretty decent though!

Of course. I meant that a lot of people in Darwin will drink nothing if Paul's is not available.

Well Lay's failed when they took over and tried to shut down Thins.
