End of an era

Cokezone points are stopping in mid-October. For the last couple of years, every time I've had a Coke I've peeled the label off the bottle or pried the tab from the can to enter a 12-digit code into a website. For 150 points (50x2-litre bottles, or 150 cans) I get a Cineworld ticket. I've just ordered what is probably my last ticket, given the amount of Coke I'd have to get through by 15 October. I'll still enter the rest of the codes I get - one point is equivalent to 5p if you donate it to charity so that's 15p per bottle.

I wonder if I will suddenly stop drinking so much Coke, or switch brands now?

I'm trying to decide what to spend my last 200 points on - probably polar bears.

Cokezone helped reduce the amount of Coke I drink -- in general I reckon that any brand that has that extensive a reward program is Not Representing Good Value for Money. Which I realised about Coke, but still I drink it.

I still have two -- Cravendale milk, which (in the skimmed form) is genuinely nicer than any other milk out there, and Andrex Aloe Vera (ditto but for bottoms). But mostly I eschew brands that do this; I assume there's Something They're Not Telling Us.

We know what it is Cravondale isn't telling us.

Possibly even more worrying (and very, very Dr Whoesque)
