I still find Diet Vanilla Pepsi in Los Angeles grocery stores, no problem.

I tried Vanilla Coke, and I thought it was too sweet. I prefer Coke over Pepsi by far, but I prefer Vanilla Pepsi over Vanilla Coke by far. I buy about a case (12 cans) of Diet Vanilla Pepsi once a month.

Diet Vanilla Cherry Dr. Pepper is the best by far, though.

Given your screen name, I'd hope you appreciate withdrawing more refined sugars from the masses...

Vanilla Coke + Vodka = GOOD!

I wont be sad when it finally goes though. It wasn't a great drink by itself, to say the least.

I like vanilla coke, about 70/30 with Jack.

Cherry coke is good too, but not with whiskey. Personally the only pop I really like drinking on it's own is root beer, and even then it should be flat. Other than that water and juice all the way.

Chew on this for a bit.

Thank you for contacting The Coca-Cola Company, Mr. MidNiteMysT. We appreciate your interest in Vanilla Coke and Diet Vanilla Coke.

We will be launching Black Cherry Vanilla Coke and Diet Black Cherry Vanilla Coke in January of 2006.

Vanilla Coke and Diet Vanilla Coke have been solid contributors for the Coca-Cola brand over the past three years. What we are demonstrating is the ability to create and market profitable line extensions for our core brands and the flexibility to capitalize on new opportunities when we see them. Consumers still like vanilla and we think Coca-Cola Black Cherry Vanilla will appeal to them. We believe that Coca-Cola Black Cherry Vanilla gives us the best opportunity to further develop our Coca-Cola flavors at this time.

Vanilla Coke and Diet Vanilla Coke will go on hiatus at year?s end, but may be made available again in the future. Please be assured that your comments have been shared appropriately.

We hope this information is helpful. If you have any additional questions or comments, please visit our website again.
