A few years back, they changed it to "feisty cherry" for a bit. That was, hands down, the worst soda I've ever tasted in my life. Why they did it, I don't know, but it was really hard to find the normal cherry for a while.
I tried it and didn't like it, but obviously that's just a personal opinion - several other people in this thread have said it's good. I like Coke and I like orange cream soda, but the two together just didn't work for me.
I'm team Vanilla Coke. I hated that during the pandemic I usually couldn't get it; and even now, the grocery store might only have one or two 12-packs in stock when we need it. But cherry (and cherry vanilla) is also pretty good, and I like to mix it up sometimes.
They ran cherry diet in my area for a while, it was so f'ing good. then they stopped. I went on vacation to Florida and it was everywhere. region locking sucks :)
It was kinda gross and reminded me of a cleaning fluid, but I haven't had Lime Coke for a while. I could go for one of those right now (and might instantly regret it, but, nostalgia...).
I remember the first time I had the vanilla flavor
It was early june in high school when I saw a patch of white lilies that started opening. Those used to be my grandmas favorite, she passed that year… So with semi-teary eyes I checked my wallet and I remember just having enough pocket money for a can of coke (my folks were very strict about soda, but gran had a coke addiction)! So I went to the corner store, I must have been very wistful as I didn’t notice that the coke was flavored. Aaand I threw that shit out, it was fucking disgusting!
If you read this comment in the style of, "this is an ad for Coke trying to yank at your heartstrings," the ending is both hilarious and really satisfying. So thanks for that!
I don't know why but I imagined you throwing it away while saying, "Gran wouldn't stand for this!"
If the company could stop making new Coke flavours then killing off popular ones more often than Netflix series or Google chat apps, it would be appreciated.
I fuckin loved spiced coke. I had a flat of the mini cans I got from Sam's Club (don't judge me, we don't have a Costco or a Trader Joes where I live) and every day after I got home from the gym I'd have a can of spiced coke and it was the fuckin best.
But now it's gone and I'm quite upset about it. The orange cream is fine but it's not the spiced. AGH! They made a coke with all my favorite flavors and then ditched it!
I want Coke to do a mango flavor. Pepsi do a mango flavor Pepsi Max and it's delicious. The problem is that over the past year or so, Pepsi changed something in the recipe and now whenever I drink it, I get migraines and dizzy spells. Coke doesn't, but they only have the lemon flavor near me and that's not as nice as the mango Pepsi.
I don't know if they sell that in the UK. Every flavored coke and pepsi I've seen here has been "With Lemon" or "With Peach" or "With Mango". They didn't give it a specific name. The same with the Coke Peach you get in Japan which is delicious and I'm upset I can't find it being sold here.
Coke has a flavor called Twisted Mango. I haven't tried it nor seen it bottled anywhere, but I bet those touchscreen dispenser machines at some restaurants would have it.
Oreo-flavored Coke Zero was diabolically delicious. I don’t know what’s in it, but the fact that they were able to artificially synthesize the flavor of Oreos without any cookie ingredients makes me scared to eat Oreo cookies ever again.
I’ll wait until then and then one more where they remove the cola. I want a coke machine that dispenses grams from all the cocaine regions. I’m talking cocaine terroir. I fucking love that smell.
