Coke


Hi, my name is Traci and I'm addicted to coke, soda pop, that is. Have yet to find any meetings I can attend to help this addiction. Not only am I addicted because of the caffeine, great taste and the burn "goin down", now I'm obsessed with collecting the caps. If your familiar with coke rewards .com you'll understand of which I speak. If not, let me clue you in. The caps have a code and all codes equal a certain amount of points and the points get you rewards. I think I've been doing this at least 3 years, but it's all a blur. The rewards used to be pretty good, you could get enough points for movie tickets, gift cards, movie rentals. As the reward program continues, it seems the point values continue to increase. So as you become addicted, you are less and less able to cash in points for what you want, but as they have hooked you into this "reward insanity" you continue to punch in your codes online in hopes of a valuable payback. At some point you may (at least I did) find your self digging in trash cans for caps and stopping on the side of the road for bottles that other people have deemed as trash. At this point you have reached a very embarrassing existence. I suppose there are worse things in life to get hung up on but these are not some of my proudest moments.
