Coke appears to have a winner with its Vanilla Coke label. It’s a massive seller so far, and the soft drink maker is now introducing Diet Vanilla Coke.
(Given the way the cans evaporate around here whenever we have a game, I can well believe this story.)

I don’t care for it. The aftertaste takes some getting used to. I’ll stick with Dr. Pepper and 7-Up.
Yeah, like Dr. Pepper’s aftertaste doesn’t take getting use to …
I do prefer “real” vanilla Coke (Coke with a good vanilla syrup mixed in), and VC is sometimes a bit sweeter than what I’m looking for, but it’s an nice alternative to have in the Fridge of Many Drinks.
Lou hates it, but I can tolerate it. He prefers the original Coke with the traditional shot of vanilla, though.
Wellll… you gotta have something in there to take the edge off the Coke taste.
Now, Pepsi…. Pepsi goes down jusstttt right.
Pepsi is too sweet.
Coke has a nice bite.
(And Barq’s has more.)
What Dave said. Pepsi is too sweet, and Diet Pepsi is too harsh.
Reed’s Apple Spice…mmm. Now I’ve got to go out and get some, darn.
I bought a liter on sale a few weeks ago. It wasn’t bad. It tasted just like Coke with vanilla mixed in — or at least, with vanillin (the imitation) mixed in. If vanilla-flavored coke is your thing, I’d say this is a pretty good substitute for not having a good quality extract on hand. (Me, I go in and out of liking vanilla.)
Well, Dave, now that you’ve reminded me, I must confess that I did not like Dr. Pepper at first. I was 16, and visting my best friend for a month (his family had relocated to Boulder, CO). After we exhausted the supply of 7-Up, it was either DP or tap water. I quickly developed a taste for DP.
Frankly, I’ve never been a cola man, but I do prefer coke to the too-sweet Pepsi.
Okay, some whining….when are they coming out with chocolate coke? Ever have a chocolate coke from Sonic?? Mui yummy. Chocolate makes everything better.
Chocolate, as a flavor, best goes with milk. I’ve yet to find a chocolate non-milk drink that I cared for.
Of course, YMMV.
And I thought a renaissance man like yourself would enjoy the smooth chocolate goodness of a YooHoo. A chocolate coke is very much like YooHoo, except with a wonderful fizz.
Blech. Give me regular Coke any day. Or either of the top Colas as a diet drink with the Lemon. !Twist!
Is it a taste bud thing?
How many out there hate the Vanilla but like/and or love/ the Lemon?
