Are Coca Cola really so fecking stupid that they think that people will be worried about this? Like they give a shit about fat kids anyway. I hope their vending machines dispense bottles up their corporate arses tbh.

Thats great. then all we'd have to drink in the common room is slightly cooled water.

'Doomy' you sound especially bitter and twisted this evening,
are you the end product of this;

educationestablishedbeverageaquisition program,

I had to actually WALK to nearest shop in playtimes,
which is the secret of my superbly svelte outline.

Thats ok, we can just walk over the road to the metro shop and see Cheery Dave

Ah, the wonders of 6th form

ETA: So what about vending machines? We have a coffee bar and tuck shop as well

Yeah hang on, I used to have to sneak out of school and walk about half a mile to the nearest shop for sweets and soft drinks. No wonder there are so many little porkers nowadays!

Of course

Actually, now you mention it, we have one tuck shop, a coffee bar, two vending machines, a little metro shop just over the road....

Within about 500 yards of my school was 4 chip shops, a McDonalds, a Burger King, an ASDA store, a Halfords to keep it car related, 2 sweet shops, a bakers, a taxi rank and 2 pubs. Suffice to say we always found something appropriate

At my school they were free if you could find a vacant caretakers cupboard.

I see your 500 yards, and I raise you a 2 minute walk to Newcastle city centre, filled with Maccy D's, buger king, KFC, Greggs, Subways, milligans, pizza hut... etc etc

Beat that

Hmm. we got a Lidl nearby...

Ok, ok, i give up.

Any of you lot had the coffee flavoured coke yet?

[Parrot of Doom]

I used to walk about 1.5 miles up the road during lunchtime, to the 'chip muffin shop'. This was 1986, and you could buy a chip muffin for 12p. Yep, 12p. I used to get 3

The point is, nobody at school really stuffed 10 teaspoons of sugar down their neck with each bottle of coke, because you couldn't buy them.

I say that removing vending machines is a good idea.

Are you really from the Northwest? I assume you are referring to a chip barm? I asked for a chip barm in Yorkshire and the weirdos asked me if I wanted a chip teacake! Chips! With currants?! No thank you sir.

I think schools should be removing CCSB vending machines from all sites bar Sixth form- kids are old enough to be making up their own mind then.
Stuff the company, they make enough money from selling to all other areas of business- they have a varied customer base... supermarkets, pubs, canteens, shops, vending machines etc.

Reminds me of that episode of the simpsons where a certtain large brand of cola sponsered the state educatiob system.
