    That’s ok, still same effect when I sit there drinking the whole bottle on a Friday night, wallowing in self pity, wondering where it all went wrong.

    • That 4% wouldve resulted in more wallowing tho. Be prepared, you may have to boost with a shot is all I'm saying.

    But you drink it with milk anyway. It's still 'adult coffee'

  • What should we switch to?

    Shrinkflation. 25% inflation. Be thankful you're not drinking home brand facial tissues. Up 30%.

        Maybe Black & Gold warm apple pie??

  • Along with the new bottle design, Kahlúa Original has reduced its ABV to 16% to address “evolving” consumer trends towards conscious drinking and lower-alcohol options, whilst offering “the same rich and distinct flavour the coffee liqueur brand is known for”. https://www.talkingretail.com/products-news/alcohol/kahlua-u…

    I guess your tastes are less "evolved" than most Kahlúa drinkers…

        Obviously did some research, testing and crunched some figures and worked this out. I love the way it's twisted into a "your peers think this is better and if you don't you're a numnut" (yes, I said numnut, st 5am I'm allowed).

      They surveyed the same group of people who said bonus interest should only be paid to ING Savings Maximiser customers who increased their balances every month.
