Coke to phase out Vanilla Coke in U.S

Whirly is becoming the P Diddy of the forumn. Next time we have to throw him a name changing ceremony.

DR PEPPER

meh to Vanilla Coke, actually, MEH to coke in general, i drink way to much of that shit at work. pepsi's horrible too, but i dont mind Pepsi Max

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 😘

Back then I worked on a gas station (I'm a student 😖mart: ), 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.

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.

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

Damn.

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

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

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.

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?
