BUDGET BEEFS

Barb joins the cola war

hen [| was a kid I’m sure I drank my
weight in Coke a week.

Later, like so many Alber-
tans, | took to drinking rye
and Coke. Awful. It's been
years since I've had a Coke,
with or without rye, but the
taste is something no one
forgets.

Yesterday, | bought a can
of new-flavor Coke, just for
curiosity. Sure glad I didn't
waste any rye in it! Someone
should have told the Coke
people the old saying, ‘if it
ain’t broke, don't fix it’* be-
fore they jumped in and
turned ‘‘the Real Thing” in-
to something else.

It's crossed my mind that
they may have had a reason
that they don't care to
discuss. Could it be that they
discovered that some ingre-
<.-+ in the old formula isn’t
healthy? is the new flavor a
trade-off against some bad
publicity? As long as th: old
formula stays locked in a
vault we'll never know.

The kids and 1 were
reminiscing about the kiddy
birthday parties they had in
the years gune by - those
marvellous occasions when
ten or (twelve little gremiins
bearing gifts converged in
the living room and ended
the day smearing the icing
on the walls.

The one standard guest at
every party was a ‘Bunny
Rabbit Cake’’ - I found the
instructions in a magazine
about twenty years ago and
haven’t seen them since.
Kids love this creation and
it’s a very practical cake for
a birthday party since it's
easy to cut into manageable
pieces for small children.

You'll need a big piece of
wood to use as a cake plate -
I used to use my chopping
