Cokes in restaurants are a lot bubblier than the ones I drink at home, where I can sip them slowly and they can get melty ice and go flat and stuff like that. Yes, the over-carbonated ones can still burn a bit ... but it is still better than some of the other stuff I lost. Though all those Coke Your Way machines make them all taste like too much lemon has been added ... sigh ... but better than nothing. I hope there's some combination that works for you.
(I'd probably suffer it some anyway, because of the migraines ... the caffeine helps. I drink caffeine free most of the time, but during a migraine I need the caffeine and I don't drink tea or coffee. I know, what kind of American doesn't drink coffee? LOL.)
