The Coke product Sparkel smells like urine. I thought i was just hallunicating until i bought another bottle last night to convince myself. It really does smell like urine fresh from the urinals. Smell it from the bottle and you'll know what i mean. Reminds me of another product, Humpy Dumpy, where it smells like poop. How about a Sparkel and Humpy Dumpy for a snack? lol!

OMG Modstar! Of all my friends on mylot,you come up with the most,ahem,"interesting" subjects.:) Wow! Hmmm. I don't know wtf "Humpty Dumpty" is and why anyone would want to eat it,whatever it is. And maybe "Sparkel" has not been brought to the US yet.Maybe they are test marketing it in your country. LoL!My sister brought back some "Inca Cola" from her trip to Peru. It looks like urine, but tastes like bubble gum. I have since seen it at Publix grocery stores for sale, but it used to be you couldn't buy it in the US. Inca Cola is made by the Coca-Cola company. I suffer from acid reflux, so usually do not drink carbonated beverages. Even vitamin water bothers me sometimes with the fruit juices. But next time I'm at the store i will look for "Sparkel." I wonder,with a name like that,if it's also good for scrubbing floors. Maybe I'll throw some in the dishwasher and do an experiment.:) Keep making me laugh modstar. It's 7am and this post in my email gave me a chuckle.

Hehe, I'm glad you consider my discussions "interesting" lol! Well i'd rather drink something whichs looks like urine but tastes like bubble gum than something which looks and smells like urine. Well it's lemon so i guess you can use it for scrubbing floors lol! I'm worried about how they're going to smell afterwards lol! Hehe, I'm glad to make you smile! Have a nice day! Oh yeah, Humpy Dumpy is a locally made Corn snack.

I'm laughing so hard. When you wrote back about the snack, you left out a "t" and spelled it,"Humpy Dumpy." which made me bust out laughing. It just made me thing of someone wanting to hump and dump simultaneously. Ahahahha! I got to know who makes this snack. You should make a blog of all the strange snacks you find in the Philippines. I have never seen this snack. A corn snack you say. Does it taste OK? What gave you the courage to eat it? Was it a double dog dare? A bar bet? We have a snack called "Corn Nuts." Not only does corn NOT have nuts, but the corn nuts are roasted corn that is crunchy and sprinkled with salt and spices. These are also great for busting a filling if you're not careful. Do they sell this snack at the movie theatre? I'll take 2 tickets for "Australia" a Humpty Dumpty and a 2 Sparkels please. "O hell, throw in some floor wax while you're at it."

I haven't tried it though but I do agree with the Humpy Dumpy. Corn snack right? Uh-huh, smells like cat poop. But I don't know, I sort of liked it before when I knew it as CORN snack and not the-chips-which-smelled-like-poop. Now, I think I'd go for the safer-smelling ones. Ummm...how about Chippy?

I think they solved the cat-poop smell of humpy dumpy. If you buy a pack, it's not as cat-poop smelling as before now. I'd buy Taquitos instead lol! I don't know but i feel that Chippy's becoming ultra salty. Oh yeah Sparkle. I just assumed it's spelled Sparkel because i thought Coke made some changes to make it kind of unique. The smell is unique enough. I'm sure it's not Pepsi because i've worked in that stupid company before and their cream of the crop is Mountain Dew. Oh i forgot about Lift! So i guess it's from Pop. Lol! Never pass the gas chamber again.

Well Mr.Chips is too hard. It's crunchy but it's hard. Break instead of crumble.

so humpy-dumpy's safe now? Great! Uh-huh, Chippy's gone too salty, and the chips look curly now. It tends to scratch the ceiling of my mouth sometimes. Right, first there was Sparkle then we're talking about Chippy. And I'm about to comment on Taquitos too. Watch out! Here it comes. Taquitos is great, it tastes the same. But My very fave is Mr. Chips. Shouldn't we be starting a new discussion instead? One which features the chips kingdom?Lol. Back to Sparkle. It's affordable that's why i settle for it. It's like a poor man's soda. Heck, but even some poor men don't really choose Sparkle. But I do, and it does't really taste awful if it's super cold! Brain freeze!

Huh I knew it wasn't cheap for nothing. Looking at it discouraged me from having anything to do with it, let alone smelling it. I couldn't believe or understand how Coke came up with this product. At least we had fun laughing about the corn snack while we were snacking on it...

Haha yeah! Some people were in denial or oblivious to the foul smell it generates. I just bought it last night and see if what i felt about it before will not manifest, but it did so it will be the last time it's going to touch my lips.

Hello modstar! Oh my! Are you serious? Honestly, I did not notice it. I rarely drink sparkle but I don't smell anything. Well thanks for this discussion, maybe I won't drink sparkle anymore.

Eeeewwww.....that's horrible! I'm not a huge soda drinker, but if I see that one in a store, I'm NOT buying it! Hmmmmm...although keeping one on hand (and a Humpy Dumpy) to serve unwanted and unexpected company has it's merits......lol

hi there modstar! hmm... i wonder why that product smells weird there. in my case, when i took a vacation last month in cebu, i got hold of that soft drink. and it doesn't smell like urine. it smells a bit like mountain dew and tastes almost like mountain dew, only less sour. that's why i was hooked on that urine, i mean drink (LOL!) while i was in cebu. if i may ask, where are you right now? maybe that would provide a clue as to why your version of that soft drink smells like wee... =) anyways, thanks for reading and happy mylotting!

I'm here in Zamboanga City. Hopefully, the urine's not from the salesmen. lol! Did you drink Sparkle lately? Maybe global warming has something to do with it. lol!

"Tinkle Sparkle" (reminding me of Charlottes Web music) I had a nursing instructer tell me that fresh urine is very aromatic... it is only the bacteria that makes it smell... I think the bacteria effects it immediately upon leaving the body! I do not know about sparkle, I have never even seen the product let alone smell it - but I am not in any hurry to test the accuracy of your nasal sensibilities.

Sparkel is a budget soda. Way cheaper than a bottle of Coke so i guess the one responsible for the fermentation er... carbonation of Sparkel, whch is Coke, happen to compromise the taste (...and preservation?).

Wow, I've never liked that product but this is the first time I've come across someone having this kind of complaint about Sparkle. I might try and open one tomorrow. I drink only Mountain Dew if I crave for lemon drinks, however. Cheers!

I hope you don't mistake Sparkle for Red Horse lol! Jk! Yeah i guess you should try it out and test for yourself. Mountain Dew is way way better.

I live in the U.S. and have not heard of either of these coke products. I only drink colas so I would not know if we have a coke product that is similar or not. I know that I would not interested in a product like this.
