Vanilla Coke

[ZaneNBK]

A 12 oz. can of coke is 150 calories, almost 100% from pure sugar.

Anyway, a lot of us (myself included) drink diets because regular drinks are waaaay too sweet, not because of health issues. Personally I like mixing diet Pepsi and regular Coke 50/50 some times. About the only time I like drinking regular coke or Pepsi is when I'm eating pizza.

on the news it stated that some places were pre-choosen to get the vanilla coke. so some places might already have it, and some might not.

also, maybe the person you called did not know if they had it or not. i used to work in a super market type store and i couldnt tell you if i answered the phone if we had gotten in the newest type of coke as of today. i would've had to have seen it in order to say yes. hehe.

so true. i can't stomach the regular stuff anymore...esp. since i received that email saying things like "if you leave a T-bone steak in Coke for 3 days, it will erode it to the bone." wow!

(not that diet's any better, but whatever...)

I drink Diet coke. I use to drink reg. Coke but now that I am use to the fake sugar, Reg. Coke tastes weird.

Diet taste just like Reg. use to taste like to me. Its just because when you were a kid no would give a kid Diet coke, so people get use to reg. sugar and then when you try the fake stuff it taste weird. I drank diet coke for 3-4weeks before I got use to it. Now its all I drink.
Of course a lot of people don't know that diet coke almost sells as much as Pepsi. If I remember correct Coke is 1, pepsi is 2 and Diet coke is 3, but Diet coke is a lot closer to Pepsi than pepsi is to coke.

Coke will disolve a stainless steel screw in abotu a week!

Why can't it disolve me!

I live in Phoenix and got some Vanilla Coke at the grocery store last night. Haven't tried it yet though. I'll post again when I do.

 

[ElFenix]

coke can't even disolve the can its in...

(now someone is going to say something about carbonic acid, solutions, and high pressure or something)


and the vanilla coke at denny's, waffle house, or any other place up to now is a shot of vanilla syrup with regular coke. 7-11 has that with that fountain (awesome fountain). i should try the vanilla vodka method. hadn't thought of that.

 

[MarkW]

for some reason, the vanilla coke tastes like an icee... maybe its just me, but i dunno

Never seen it, but would like to try it. Was it regular or diet Jerboy?

Regular. Diet is just gross. Coke made a huge mistake by releasing Lemon Coke only in diet. I haven't even tried the lemon stuff, because drinking diet simply sucks.

Jerboy while I'm not the biggest fan of Lemon diet Coke, if this new Coke flavor isn't released in a "diet" version, I for one won't drink it. An no, I'm not overweight I just prefer diet soda over regular. Personal preference

You do realize, however, that the "diet" versions of carbonated soft drinks are much less healthy than the originals, right? The chemicals used to make it "diet" are worse for you than the 20 extra calories (or however much) there are in the original...

Yeah nik, I do know that diet Coke isn't as healthy, but I don't do it for health reasons, I just prefer diet over regular when it comes to taste

not true, and its the 120-150 calories and thats for every 12oz, a supersize soda is like 36-48oz

Bleh. The Diet Lemon Coke tastes like window washing fluid. Nastiest stuff ever. Too bad, too, cause I like the regular Lemon Pepsi. I could be completely wrong, but haven't I heard of Vanilla Coke before? And I mean years ago. If I asked I would have said it was already a flavor.

you shouldn't drink widow washing fluid, I think that is the stuff that corrodes your insides...

I knew someone would mention that; believe me, it's more of a smell thing. You know, like someone saying "this tastes like piss"; well, unless you're some kind of freak, you don't REALLY know what piss tastes like, but you can make an inference by the smell.

That being said, window washing fluid does hell on the intestines.

My friend had a bottle of Vanilla Coke today at school. He said his mom got it at the PX.

 

[erub]

I got my hands on a few 20 oz bottles after my Mavericks lost to the Kings on Saturday afternoon. They had carted it in with a huge tube full of ice, and were giving them away for free. I really like it

 

[Platypus]

I had one, it was ok.

The problem with it, like most flavoured colas, is that you just cannot put enough flavouring into it to make it worth it. For example, I have been getting vanilla coke at malt shoppes forever, and you can totally taste it. This seemed like watered down orginial coke that was just a little bit sweeter. Much like Pepsi Twist doesn't really taste lemon flavoured at all.. nice try coca-cola, you should stick to what you know.

Nik, you're waaaaaaay off on the calorie count. Diet soda has 0 calories, while a regular coke or pepsi has anywhere from 150-180. You are correct about the diet ingredients, after prolonged and heavy exposure (like my 12-14 cans of diet a day), it is possible to take on some of the same characteristics as a stroke, I believe.

May be wrong about the illness, but It does have some damaging effects.

 

[GooberPHX420]

Oh yeah, and Vanilla Coke sucks balls. I had one last night..nothin to write home about...

According to the Coke site, distribution begins Wednesday, May 15. Of course, those of us that frequent Waffle House have had Vanilla Coke for quite a while now....

I had some today. They had it in a vending machine at school. IMO, it sucks. It's like coke with a vanilla after-taste.

 

[N8Magic]

I wish they would release it up here in Canada already!

/me loves Vanilla Coke.

 

[rpc64]

You nerds! Vanilla Coke is awesome and you can totally taste the vanilla. I don't usually drink much of any kind of cola, but I'm gonna keep buying this stuff.

And diet Coke is awful. Nutrasweet(and all the other fake sugar substitutes) gives you cancer. You would be better off drinking regular but just in moderation.

FYI, why don't you try putting a t-bone in coke for 3 days..... you will end up with a soggy t-bone and meat-flavored coke. the email that was sent around was BS..

Haven't seen Vanilla coke anywhere yet, but i will try it.

kmart corporate has an agreement where we HAVE to purchase at least 5 pallets of vanilla coke at our store. This stuff better sell b/c we don't have the room to keep 5 pallets lying around forever.

-=bmacd=-

 

[randomlinh]

you know, they took that nutrasweet causes cancer label off... and now it's aspertane (equal) that causes it. and so do cooked potatoes. and i'm sure celery somehow will eventually be found to cause cancer. a couple diet soda's every so often won't kill ya (and if you drink a lot.. a lot of ANY soda ain't good anyway).

but, getting back to the point... i called up giant to see if they had any in yet .. and the lady had no clue to what i was talking about.. put me on hold, came back after 5 minutes and put me on hold again. I asked for vanilla coke, and she asked "who makes it" yeah, i know lotta ppl refer to any soda as "coke" sometimes.. but it was funny still.
