The Coca cola therapy.
Yesterday in the CBC (Content Builders Club) Telegram, i was into a discussion with [](https://coil.com/p/PatriciaC/The-most-international-Portuguese-Pastry-/mKlRZcdLF) Miss Patty (well known pastry chef that Buddy Valastro got right out front) and Srdan [](https://coil.com/p/Bauhauswerk/Brew-ALE-pt-3/VAsG8mkc6) (Top expert of beers throughout the galaxy) about our tastes in matter of drinks.
That reminded me about a specific episode in my life that I use to call: “The Coca Cola therapy”.
I was very young, going at primary school. Can’t remember the exact age but I think I was like 7 or 8 years old. In the late 80’s Coca Cola in Italy was a MUST drink.
Maybe one of the first status symbol from the far America, entering the daily life of every Italian family…entering THE TABLES of every Italian family.
Always remember “The table” is a very important topic for us….make jokes on everything but don't touch the family and the table, meaning “kitchen” and all the things related to it.
This was just to give you the context.
So…as I was saying I was a youngster and because I had a park with the football court in it (ah…sorry. No jokes on football too with Italians 😂😂😂), the deal with my parents was : :STUDY NOW, LOVE LATER”….................until that day….....😱
I remember like it was yesterday: My mom off from home. I was studying while my dad probably was doing some of his businesses at home:
As I end my homework, I take my ball, go to greet my dad and as I am approaching the door:
“Ehi son! Wait a minute!”
“What do you want dad?”
He lives the table. Go to the fridge…and what he pull off from it? Coca cola.
Inside me: NOOOOOOOOOO😝😝😝”But dad….I don’t like Coke!!”
He resolutely: “Son! All the kids of your age drinks Coke and you have to drink Coke too!!”.
He takes a BIG from the kitchen and fill it with this fucking Coke. “DRINK IT!”.
What was I supposed to do at that point people..? I was in a rush because I knew my friends were already at the park, my dad would never have let me out before drinking, so with a very low level of enthusiasm I drank all that shit.
One of the worst experiences of my life. I remember as I went to the park I puked all off.
And so from that day….No more Coke to me….yeeeeeeeee!!!!
But not only Coke, I include all the fizzy drinks and drinks with unnatural colors.😂😂😂
Can I still say I hate Coke? Not really. I am always open to re evaluate my tastes but fizzy drinks never met them...not this time.
In any case I have to thank my father too for this I guess. Not bad…I have gained in health.
