I love Vanilla Coke....

Damn.

Alpha Centauri
Hahaha, I laugh. Might go drink some Vanilla Coke.

Lana
Shut up stick out tongue

Meh, not like I drink it very much anyway. I do like it though. Oh well. So long as they don't get rid of Cherry Coke.

Mr _Whirlysplat
Its a shame I love it

Capt_Fantastic
I never had it. I don't drink dark sodas. It's like drinking tar, in my opinion. And Vanilla Coke certainly never sounded tempting enough to make me reconsider my stance.

Jedi Priestess
eh no biggie since I drink Pepsi! wink

Lana
As do I, but Vanilla Pepsi's not as good as Vanilla Coke, I find. Same with Cherry Coke and Cherry Pepsi.

Deano
vanilla coke is horrible, what were they thinking

Imaginary
Have I mentioned how much I love Australia?

BackFire
Good, Vanilla Coke is awful.

WindDancer
As long as they leave Cherry Coke alone, I have no problem.

Deano
cherry coke is nice

coke with lemon is ridiculous

Mr _Whirlysplat
I like regular and diet best of cokes - but with lime and cherry are good. Dr Pepper is still better tasting than all of them. shifty Actually the kind of coke you cut has been fun in the past wink

Arachnoidfreak
Noooooo, my vanilla flavored cocaine!

Oh. Not that coke? Nevermind.

KidRock
Coke is for sissys.

Pepsi is where its at.

Deano
both are great

I wonder what the coke executives were thinking "Our unpleasant soft drink is alread the most popular in the world, but I want more.... what do we do?"

"Uh... why don't with mix it with flavours that don't work well together? Coke with.... Vanilla! Coke with.... LIME! Coke with.... CHERRY!!!!"

"Genius Roger, get on it right away, well make millions! To go with the billions we already have!"

Then of course the Pepsi people panic and go "What can we do to deal with this threat? I know, instead of changing the taste, we'll change the colour!!! Blue pepsi! Clear Pepsi! God I'm good."

I took one zip from the bottle then threw it away for good sick

Back then I worked on a gas station (I'm a student smart ), and we sold away all the bottles at a price of 1NOK,the normal price in gas stations here in Norway is 15NOK. You needn't be a genious to understand that vanilla coke wasn't much of a success in Norway...

Personally I only drink the real deal when it comes to black beverages, and that's Coke, tastes much better than Pepsi.

I did however enjoy Crystal Pepsi

Edit: Oops way too many smileys in one short post, four in the count.

Makes me wish I were an executive at one of the major cola companies.

You got a hand it to them though..they've managed to market an abundant natural resource(water), just by adding sugar and carbonizing it. This process probably costs them less then a penny per can. They then proceed to sell each canned soda at 300% markup. If that ain't marketing genius, I don't know what else is.

whobdamandog
They've become even more slick now a days..rather then go the extra mile and add sugar/carbination...they now just bottle the water by itself(ie Aquafina, Dasani..etc) and sell it at 400% markup. Marketing genius I tell ya.

Capt_Fantastic
Actually, bottled water is the higest selling beverage, it out sells colas something like three to one if I remember the numbers correctly.

Mountain Dew is so-so. I'd prefer Mist over the Dew.

btw-do you guys have those "Do the Dew" commercials in Germany?

Since we don't have Mountain Dew...jsut how high are the chances for that?

Mist is just like Sprite, right? No difference at all....Mist means Crap in german by the way. Wonder why they don't produce it for the german market.


If Mountain Dew was a woman I'd love to have sex with her....I'd have to betray her with Dr. Pepper though.....that sounded gayer than it was supposed to.

WrathfulDwarf
Oh, you don't have Mountain Dew in Germany. I see...and yes Sprite and Mist are pretty similar.

Does Mist taste better for some odd reason?

That is a good question. I guess it has to do with lemon-lime theory of fountain drinks.

Mine was a joke too...although I have to admit that I didn't see that it doesn't take anything fro the greatness of my humour.

You, Homer Simpson, seem to have a good kind of humour.

vanilla coke is nasty as hell sick

§cooter
I loved Vanilla Coke with a passion.

Anyways, Black Cherry Vanilla is ok smile

WrathfulDwarf
Vanilla Coke wasn't selling enough. So the guys at Coke decided to mix in the formula with Cherry Coke. And Cherry Coke has been a suscess for more than a decade. They figured that it would spark interest on the fans of Cherry Coke....and it does.

Arachnoidfreak
Dr. Pepper already had a cherry vanilla soda before coke even cut its vanilla coke line.

Wow. What a pun. If you caught the pun, it was totally intended. If you didn't, then no it wasnt.
