      Now just add some rum and you've got a decent drink - The Cuba Libre.

        Is this Diet Coke with Lime? Or is it Classic? We only have the Diet one here...I think.
        Thanks,

            They passed it out on the train two days ago as a promotion for Coca Cola and NJ Transit. Pretty good stuff.

                  I think so too, no regular lemon or lime coke here.

                  The Diet Lemon and Lime flavours are pretty good though.

                    Good idea, I will remeber to take along this small flask of rum when I'll fly AirTran

                    On a more serious note, Coca Cola gets with AirTran a sound partnership they probably never managed to materialize with Delta,
