As Newsweek reported when this month began:
U.S. ALCOHOL SALES INCREASE 55 PERCENT IN ONE WEEK AMID CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC
Yes. I get that. I’ve had a few pints. But it’s not the pints I’m jonesing for.
What I want is Coke. A frosty Coke and then a refill of frosty Coke immediately afterward.
Both of their bottles.
Don’t I deserve to be “really refreshed?”
Coke is everywhere. It taunts me in the pages of my magazines and from the walls of the antique stores. Is that Jane Wyman? I don’t know. All I want is her Coke.
I don’t need two liters of Coke. That’s too big, and it loses carbonation the second you open it up.
Then again, it can’t be too small.
Now this one is just right.
I Don't Get It 
Is there a Coke shortage in Texas? I know what you mean though. There is just something about Coke that really hits the “spot”.

LOL no. I’m just slowly rationing what we have so as not to overload on sugar. But it’s hard when you want a comforting drink.

It’s the little luxuries I miss too, Kerbey. Did you ever venture off the classic path and try New Coke?

I too am missing small treats and agree that an ice cold soda (my preference is Dr Pepper) would be just the ticket right now. My grocery costs have jumped up since we went into lockdown. Apart from eggs (which now appear to cost more per weight than gold) I don’t think prices have gone up so much as scarcity on the shelves is forcing me to buy brand name when previously I would have bought generic and, of course, there are no special offers right now. Anyway, that means I am only buying proper ingredients that will make meals and keep us eating nutritiously so I have resisted buying junk treats and empty calories. We are only at the end of month one of lockdown, however. I may break down and have to buy junk treats at some point.

Right? We had just paid for a weight loss app and were doing pretty well in February but now the lockdown is making it more difficult. We can’t go to the store twice a week and get produce so there are a lot more canned things in our diet. It’s easy to be disciplined in the beginning. My hubby is enjoying a Dr Pepper so I’ll have him toast you as the only estrogen in your lock down.

I’ll take those “pints” that are going to waste while you crave the Cokes.

Oh, I’ll drink them before they get skunky. I have to have one if I’m cooking. Or two.
