Berry and Coke


Materials: 1x Lingon Berry Juice 1x Coke

Description: Ok, so I know this is not a "hack" in the traditional sense of the word, but I feel this needs to be discussed.

So when I go to Ikea, first I have my meatballs (just like I know all of you do as well, come on admit it).

But when it comes to drinks, the best drink seems to be:

2/3 Coke
1/3 Lingon Berry Juice (super Swedish)


Does anyone agree? I sure hope I'm not alone in this.........

  2. They've been out of Lingonberry the last few times we've visited :-( (At the Stoughton, MA, USA store)

  3. I just drink the Ligonberry juice straight. Taste delicious!

  4. For me it's the iced tea with lingonberry. And yes, meatballs!

  5. For me it's the Sierra Mist with Lingonberry. The berry is still the major flavor, but it lightens it up and gives it some bubbles :)

  6. WOW! Most useful post ever. Good thing the owner of the site isn't so desperate for page hits, or I'd post what the Salmon Dinner looks like after my intestines are done "hacking" it.

  7. As far as I can tell neither Lingonberry or ice is available in Stoughton, MA, USA anymore. Neither have been available for months. "Ice" is a melted bucket of water next to the drink dispenser. It looks like they're not serving the open-face shrimp sandwiches either.

  8. Yeah, Stoughton didn't have Lingonberry juice the last few times I was there, either. I guess they realized that unlimited lingonberry is not good for profits, when you can charge by the juicebox for it.

  9. Lingon Berry plus Sierra Mist is indeed a nice combo too! 1 part berry to 1-2 parts Mist tastes best to me.

  13. We have OJ and Sprite on tap at work so I make myself a "mimosa" at work :o

  14. I always have the lingonberry straight also, but may have to try this and with tea! I could live on the meatballs!

    ReplyDelete
  15. I love the Lingon-sprite combo myself.
    Never tried with coke! Will do!

    ReplyDelete
  16. I'm a Sprite and Lingonberry girl, myself. Yum!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Man, you just invented cherry coke! Erm... I mean berry coke!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Glad to see other people upset about the lack of Lingonberry in Stoughton! I assumed it was discontinued at all IKEAs. But I guess not. Letter writing campaign, anyone?

    ReplyDelete
  19. yep, but I do 3/4 Lingonberry and 1/4 Sierra Mist. The only thing I drink when I visit IKEA ^___^

    ReplyDelete
  20. I either do lingonberry with coke or mr. pibb. Very tasty! I'll have to try the Sierra Mist mixture.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I'll be trying several of these combos next time I make it to IKEA. Unfortunately the closest one is 4 hours away!

    ReplyDelete
  22. I ALWAYS MIX THESE TWO!!! GRRRRRREAT!

    ReplyDelete
  23. they aren't just "out" of lingonberry at stoughton, ma, they're discontinuing it altogether in certain markets. if you love it, better get the lingonberry while you can!

    ReplyDelete
  24. They've been out of Lingonberry juice a couple of times when I've been there. It's like when someplace that sells french fries runs out of ketchup. I sort of feel like the entire place should shut down, 'cause no one is leaving happy.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Diet Pepsi and Lingonberry every time! it's so good!

    ReplyDelete
  26. I'm suprised at how many other people here shop at the Stoughton Ikea! hey there, Ikea neighbors!

    ReplyDelete
  27. And all of us Stoughton shoppers notice the lack of Lingonberry juice. :-/

    ReplyDelete
  28. The absence of Lingnonberry at Ikea should be a Felony crime.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I always had mine with lingonberry and tea! Shall try it with coke this weekend ;)

    We get it as boxed juice here, though (IKEA Malaysia)..they don't put it in the dispensers

    ReplyDelete
  30. More details please. What kind of cup are you using? Is this the original IKEA straw?
