Shiver Me Timbers, Mrs. HM Turned Into A Limey

Let the record show that Mrs. Hillbilly Mom will not be coming down with a case of scurvy any time soon. She has a new addition to her daily 44 oz Diet Coke, and that is...
LIME JUICE.

Okay, not just the juice. The whole thing. Sometimes two!

Back when Farmer H was wanting to make himself a Montana Mule adult beverage, after having one at the steakhouse during our visit with The Pony on BirthdayPalooza... I used the leftover half of his lime for my evening sipping of the remaining 22 oz of Diet Coke. It was delicious.

Then I started using a whole lime just for myself! Farmer H didn't mind. He's not the one who does the lime shopping around here. In fact, he hasn't made another Montana Mule, and has no need for limes. I, however, am on my third bag!

Just between you and me... I've been putting TWO WHOLE LIMES in the evening half of my 44 oz Diet Coke! I cut them in fourths, squeeze them, then drop the wedge in my cup. I also add a little bottle of Diet Coke to my cup in the evening, to strengthen the watered-down fountain soda. First I add one lime. Then after drinking down more room in the cup, I'll add the other one, followed by the last half of the mini bottled Diet Coke.


Doesn't that look refreshing? Pardon the pulp. Pulp happens. I swear that I won't graduate to three limes per night. That would be crazy!

Don't judge. I could have worse vices.

(cockney accent) Cor bLIMEy Guv'nor, that's a lotta LIMEs.
I'm glad you've found something to liven up your cokes, we had coke with lime in bottles here for a while but it didn't take off so it's gone from the shelves. I don't drink coke, so didn't try it.

River,
I don't recall having Coke with lime here, but for a while there was Diet Coke with Lemon, I think. Seems like I tried it and liked it. Or maybe I was just adding lemons to it myself. That was during the busy working years, when the boys were more needy of my time. One of the memories I deleted to make more room in my head.
