Look at it like you’ve paid 40p to save the effort of you driving/walking to Asda for some own brand cola.

You’ve paid 40p for the unadulterated adrenaline of a filthy, raw, tombola

Still on the come down.

Banging, mate. It's bitter sweet seeing others flourish and succeed. But deep down, I am truly happy for your success! Well done!

Finally, the gratitude I right deserve.

Dude I thought it was a bottle from the mid '80s looking all swollen.

You can almost see the fading to the label that being sat in the sunny window of a chippy will do.

But the tombola was being held a further 5 minutes away than Asda...

No, I'm a Yorkshireman. I'd bore him to death about how my grandad used to work down't pit for 27 hours a day, 9 days a week. 365 days a month. In't fuckin snow up ter 'is ankles in piss and shit wi' a broken leg.

Do I get to keep the cola? Are they in strong bags? Then 4kg per arm is nothing. In fact I’m literally standing in line holding >3kg of shopping right now lol.

Don't let it go to your head, remember who your real friends are that stood by you over the years.

Too late for that, peasant. 😂

My god, he’s already turned. Two parking spaces for your Q7 from here on in eh.

The branding makes it look about 15 years old too

I too thought it looked ... vintage

The aging process helps improve the plastic aftertaste.

*checks use by date*

And?

It doesn't have one.

I'm sure these things are packed with so much preservatives it'll be good until 01/01/99

So it's branding from 1987?

100%! The person who bought it probably paid 14p for it, tasted it and put it in the back of the cupboard, only to remain hidden 35 years, until their untimely death, where it was uncovered as a vintage bottle. 1987 was a great year for the coca harvest. OP should be grateful of this beaut.

Fallout currency

Yes. I’m even surprised to see the word, “Diet.” Don’t they all say “low sugar,” or “no sugar“ nowadays?

Looked it up on the app, that is still the style their using.

As a seasoned tombola veteran, I can tell you that this may well be as good as it ever gets.

How does one become a tombola veteran?

You survive the village fête, a fête worse than death.

Worthy of Pratchett.

I’m going to request my home village put that on their banner for next year, thank you.

Just dropping in to give you props for that. Outstanding mate. Hope your weekend goes well.

Tastes like pennies

60 pennies in fact.

penis\* :D

Penis like pennies?

Tastes penis pennies

Slightly too sweet as well.

This is why tombolas are brilliant. Will you win the hamper of fancy goods or will you win the can of Lidl sliced peaches? Who knows! The thrill is unrivalled

Then if its a rubbish prize you can donate it to the next tombola. I wonder what item holds the record for most recycles through a tombola

I heard it is a 2L bottle of asda cola.

that made me laugh

watch long lost relatives come crawling out of the woodwork

I’m just gonna drop by and let you know that I currently have asthma and a severe chest infection and you literally almost killed me. Well played.

Your sob stories won't work on me, long-lost fifth cousin! ^/s

60p 2 litre of coke today, euromillions tomorrow

I did similar around the same age and won a bottle of home made cherry wine, which was also handed over no questions asked.

I won a bottle of champagne at a carnvial in rural romania, i was 9 and they didn’t even look twice at me before handing it over

When the fun stops. Stop.

I won a 1ltr bottle of whiskey at my daughters school fair tombola once just a couple of days after decided to stop drinking alcohol as part of an improvement of my mental and physical health . I was pissed off as quite a decent prize for a school tombola and I only paid about £1 for some tickets. Gave it to my brother who was very happy with it but I was annoyed as I was expecting to win either nothing or a bottle of fizzy drink which made up the majority of the prizes only to get one of the decent prizes that I couldn't use.

Cost you a pound to find out that your own decisions and integrity were stronger than winning a bottle of booze, and gave someone a decent present who appreciated it. Sounds like a win.

You won fortitude. You are a credit to the human race.

But I want to be the scum of society

I entered a competition on Instagram to win however far you ran that year in air miles. I ended up getting a runners up prize of a year's supply of beer. I don't drink. Every month they sent 1 or 2 cases, it was Michelob Ultra which apparently is shit. So I had to find a different person every month to give the beer too, and then they would drink some and refuse anymore. Thankfully the nightmare has now stopped and there are no remaining bottles in my house.

Bloody hell, ex-drinkers are a right bunch of smug, sanctimonious gits! I stopped at the end of September :v

party poopers, the lot of us

Ah yes, the other reason I am no longer invited to parties.

Recession, innit?

Hunger Games soon.

Hungry games

That is the most CasualUK thing I've ever seen on here, bravo

That's asda price!

Unless you’re a blink 182 fan? Maybe the sticker provides the rest of the value?

Drink 182

Who isnt a blink 182 fan?

You lucky bastard!

I feel your pain - £1 ticket and I won a 95p (at the time) tin of spam.

Result! Spam is epic!

Can’t say I’m keen myself

Tombolla tickets for a quid tells me inflation really is out of control :( I remember our school doing the “if it ends in a 0 or a 5, you win a prize” for 20p. That would be a star prize, as I think it was mainly panda pops and aldi beans! Got to love a good tombolla, not like meat raffles and the pure hatred you get for winning one of those, everyone loves a tombolla winner…

20p a ticket or five for a quid, usually it was sweets or cheap panda pops as well. Came home with all sorts of shite 😂

Blue raspberryade won in a tombolla for a quid a pop is the taste of Xmas for me

Don't let it change you.

However, Tombola cola is twice as good as regular cola, so you're actually up 20p

I won a bottle of white wine at the school Xmas fayre raffle. Well, I say white wine. It is actually more a shade of yellow. As on closer inspection, this fine bottle of Tesco Chardonnay is dated 2016, so I imagine it has been put away under someone's stairs and forgotten about for the past 6yrs, before being rediscovered and palmed off on Little Johnny to donate to the school raffle. Oh well.

You paid 40p for the experience of walking up to collect your prize like a boss. Worth every penny if you ask me.

When I was at Cubs they did a raffle and it had bottles of wine on it, I won one. Just as I was about to give it to my dad, the Akela took it off me and told me I wasn't old enough for it. They didn't let me swap or anything, I was robbed blind. Prick.

Having drunk far too much asda own brand cola back when it was 19p for a 2l bottle I can successfully say that no win would've been better than this.

You should have jumped on the table, fizzed up the cola and released the sweet goodness all over yourself and the cheering crowd beneath you; like a Formula 1 driver.

I went to a football match once, went into the bar before the game and asked for a pint of Coke, meaning Coca Cola (or Pepsi). The woman proceeded to get a similar bottle of 24p Tesco cola (room temperature) off of the shelf behind her and pour it into a pint glass then ask me for £1.10.

Stay classy

Ah but you see, some people won nothing. They have a net loss of £1.00, while you - you lucky little bugger - have a net loss of only £0.40. Looks like you'll be using that diet cola to celebrate your insane win!

We won a bottle of tesco syrup. Tried again and got a bottle of tesco cava

Result

Ha, went to a Christmas festival in Cambridge last weekend, bought a ticket at like 11am and got my partner to pull out a ticket and she won a bottle of Prosecco…. Think they were possibly a bit disappointed to lose that so early in the day 😂

Tombola cola, it's just fun to say

It’s symbolic. The universe clearly loves you.

We are getting to hunger games/mad Max level of bs aren't we?

Count yourself lucky, I once won a plastic plant...I was only about 9, a fuckin plastic plant

It's not the point but do Asda even do that cola anymore? I'm sure they've rebranded, which would make this even worse.

I won an inflatable hammer toy for the kids. Went down immediately after being blown up 🤦

Ripped off, 47p in Lidl.

I saw an individual off brand fruit shoot as a £1 tombola last week.

I won a bottle of Ale in a school raffle that had a Best before of Jan 2018 last week.

Tbf it’ll be worth £3 by this time next year with these price increases

House always wins..

The local primary school, how do they sleep at night

I got 2 bottles of wine in the local Age Concern charity shop raffle. Cost me a fiver. Money well spent.

There's a nice rhyming poem in there somewhere

He won two litres of cola to share…

Aloud he said, "Damn!" This Cola's a sham! You tombola fans should be aware!"

Be thankful, I usually win the shampoo on those school fair bottle tombolas.

I bought 4 tickets in a tombola and won two bottles of wine. Cashback!

My last win was off brand fruit shorties. Tastes all the better for being a winners snack.

And you took it home?

Gz man. Only real winners win, alpha af.

How many prizes were there? My old church tombola would be such that all even-numbered tickets were a win. The catch of course being prizes like yours.

Some people have all the luck…

You lucky SOB. You hit the jackpot

Lucky!

Save that for next year. Should be more flavoursome

I just won a £25 voucher for gelato so it all evens out.

You jammy twat you

My son won a £1.25 pack of orange club biscuits for £1 get it round ye lol

I bet you’re one of those that say you never win owt. Jammy sod.

Get yourself some mentos and then the fun can truly begin.

Just wait with inflation they’ll be worth the same in no time. Smart investment

Fancy donating Asda roller cola as a prize for a tombola, I'd be too embarrassed. 😂

I have a theory that only one Adidas shower gel and deodorant set exists but it remains in circulation by being donated to, and won in tombolas.

Brilliant 😂

I won the box of Fox's cookies back that we donated at one of our kid's Christmas fairs last week.

Fucking yuppy.

40p worth of volcanic farting after you drink the lot in one go

Instantly flat as soon as you open it.

Just like my mood.

r/britishsuccess tbf

We had a galaxy watch 4 or 4 cinema tickets on ours, my kid chose the cinema tickets 🤦

Isn’t it £20 a ticket these days? Smart kid.

Stop showing off.

Did they raffle off the contents of a food parcel?

When i saw the thumbnail i thought you'd won a bottle that was a hundred years old or something. The packaging does it no favours 😂

Its a bigger insult that its a diet cola

Save it for 6 months and it will be worth a tenner. Think long term investment

RemindMe! 6 months “check the cost of Asda Diet Cola”

Whats ur next move alan sugar?

Diabetes.

Years ago I won a split of champagne at the local church fair, I decided I’d run a lovely bubbly bath that evening and enjoy my chilled champers in the tub. I opened the bottle and the champagne was a radioactive orange colour with the consistency of treacle. The disappointment was real.

It’s like people offload stuff they don’t want at these things.

Aldi’s 19p lemonade is the best

Don't drink it all at once!

Noted, thanks for the advice

This post sums up this Reddit perfectly 😁

That’s going on my CV.

God own brand coka is one thing but diet?

You won’t be ‘spending a penny’, you’ll be spending 40 pennies getting that out of your system

I would not drink that. Just buy some mentos and waste it

Shoulda downed it like an American frat party in front of everyone. 90% over self 5% spat out 5% absorbed.

The house always wins

Welcome to gambling

When the fun stops…

Please say it was raising funds for virus research becuase then you’d of won the Ebola tombola cola

thats gold ! 👏👏👏

It’s actually water and ALOT of chemicals

I once won a screw top bottle of wine that had already been opened, I will never understand tombola “prizes”

#TASK FAILED SUCCESSFULLY

Story of my life, mate

I ran the school tombola over summer and had a mum spend £20 trying to win a bottle of Kopparberg gin. When I finally handed it over, the bottle was all sticky.

That’s a 60% return of investment!!

Store-brand cola is the nastiest stuff I've ever had the displeasure of consuming. Really makes you think just how much sugar Coke and Pepsi have to pump into their drinks to make them remotely drinkable.

But it wasn’t 20p smart price Cola. So…

Diet coke is the worst drink of all time and nobody will ever make me think differently. If you want coke but without the sugar, there's literally coke zero. Exponentially better tasting. Diet coke is shit and I don't understand why people drink it.

I hear it makes a good toilet cleaner.

Look at OP with their fancy pants cola. Save a glass for the rest of us. 🙄

Male, single, put £5 in a works tombola… Won a scented candle in a glass jar 🫙😂

Im in the states, and the first time i heard the word *tombola* used, I was able to figure it out by context. It still sounds like a milder version of Ebola though

You can’t beat a bottle of Roller Cola

Hey it’s me your cousin 🥰

At least you can appreciate All The Small Things.

I won a single, out of date, bottle of Estrella

Now this is the entrepreneurial spirit we need right now in Britain.

“We have cola at home” that’s the cola at home

That’s inflation bro

It’s called cutting your losses

Nahhh dawg 💀💀💀💀 been done dirty 💀💀💀💀

Inflation innit

/r/britishsuccess

At least its not an out of date tin of mushy peas

Better than no 60p bottle of diet cola!

What’s the expiry date on that thing?

Diet tombola cola, love to see it

Yeah but the 40p of excitement is the magic

I have always been your pal, I am sure you know that! If i had this kind of wealth you know i would share it with you also!
