  - You just need more Szechuan sauce. -- nm - B'nai B'ron Dec 6, 15:43
- No joke: I have about three Frozen Cokes a week. Now that I'm off meat, it's the least healthy thing in my diet. -- nm - David Dec 6, 15:26 9
  - I wonder what the calories are (I mean, I assume the McD’s website will tell me). I only drink Coke Zero, but gimme a Frozen Coke any day. -- nm - Mop🧹 Dec 6, 15:27 8
