Greens with Mexican Coke

Having realized I had no broth on hand to cook some greens, I used what was left from a half-empty bottle of Mexican coke (the kind with the real cane sugar). I usually add sugar to offset the bitterness of greens such as turnip or collard, but this actually added a wonderful flavor component to the dish. Offset with some cider vinegar, it was better than weird.
I tried this with chard too (to which I don't usually add vinegar), and while it was good, some bits were sweet beyond pleasantry--you'd need something like vinagar (or at least something like crushed red pepper) to offset it.

Woops--I put this in the wrong forum. Can someone move it?

Mod edit: Moved from Something to Drink to Shopping & Cooking.

Forgive me, but I can't even begin to fathom how to conjugate this into anything within the realm of meaning. Care to elaborate?

There's a posting on words that have outworn their welcome in describing cuisinage -- double yum, to die for along with other RR locutions among them -- eg I was being ironic

Oh, I can't believe I missed a shot at Rach(a)el Ray.
I guess I'm too busy awaiting the moment when Paula Deen does a shoot for FHM.
The Hills have eyes, indeed.
