The only reason I never tried Coke as a kid was because it was too expensive. That was back during the days of leisure suits, gold chains and all that crap.
By the time crack had arrived on the scene, I was living in Japan, had developed Conservative values and wasn’t interested.
But if I had the money back then? Sure.
We all do things as kids we wouldn’t do later in life. This kind of crap annoys the hell out of me.
I would never try it. Too dangerous, & too expensive- like flushing money down the toilet. Rather save it and buy a great pair of shoes, jewelry, or give it to charity.
