aren't we witty. Go you! :rolleyes:

Rawr!

Theres no place in this world for anything other than Diet Coke :-P

Firetrap

It was a limited edition Coke as far as I know. Same as the lemon coke and the lime coke. Shame - I liked it

The cherry coke is around all the time but harder to get. It's more freely available in the UK. I had me some of it recently

Coca Cola editions are like whores. Good going down, you'll waste money that could be better spent on better things, and just when you start to like 'em they're gone. I believe in the Coca Cola, the almighty coke, maker of happiness and sanity... mmmm,sacrilicious.

Great minds OP.....:)
I raised this a few times

Twas the coca cola of the gods but I've not seen it since 2004
Why did they pull it??? I wouldn't say it was a poor seller but obviously I don't have the market data

I know they introduced Coke with Lime in 2005 but that's gone too.
So cmon, what are the executives playing at?

It's like those evil bods in McDonalds who occasionally make nice things that are bad for you. Unfortunately they're always limited edition

galwayrush

Didn't they bring out a green version of Coke some time back? or was that just a bad dream i had.

Maybe we should start a big campaign to bring it back like they did with wispas!

Firetrap

I must get myself a little bottle of vanilla essence sometime and mix it with coke. I'm sure the end result wouldn't be much different.

We really should! Vanilla Coke was the nicest drink I've ever tasted! I'd love to have a taste of it again!

craiginireland

sounds like a plan

Oh god... it was soooooooooooo good.

I was going to get a few cans sent over from the states it was so good.

I'm practically a Coca Cola addict for... <oh my god, a very long time> and nothing does it for me but the original Coca Cola. Diet Coke tastes horrible and all the experimental cokes like cherry & vanilla were a failure. Don't get me started on Pepsi and the likes.

But strangely enough I do like Red Bull Cola. It's like Coca Cola with a bit of fresh lime juice in it. Fruity but still coke. Not a replacement but likable.

I hate Coke but love Pepsi.

I would however drink Coke Tab if it came back simply because it felt so weird drinking Cola that was clear!

jester77

I'm not a cola drinker but I have to say there is only 1 cola and that's the original coca cola!
Why do they try and better perfection, it's pointless. Some of the products the cola companies come up with are crazy...

rhapsody!

coke tabs?
you what?
i'm intrigued.

Lol @ cucumber pepsi.

Not a dream. Green Coke was on sale here in Australia to celebrate St. Patricks Day.

I don't get it...

Whats with people hatin Diet Coke???

WoollyRedHat

Aspartame is evil dontchaknow.

What made me laugh was releasing Coke with Vitamins! Please, don't even try to make it healthy

dSTAR

You can still get vanilla coke here but unfortunately not cherry coke :-(

For some reason I always crave a glass of vanilla coke with lots of ice when I am hungover.

On aspartame ...

The Pentagon once listed it in an inventory of prospective biochemical warfare weapons

likely_lass

all flavoured coke is horrible, why mess with something thats not broken?

Can't explain properly. To me it just doesn't taste like Coke at all. That artificial sweetener or whatever it is ruins it comletely. If diet Coke was the only Coke I could get I would never drink Coke again I really dislike it.

Red Bull Cola is quite nice tho and apparently a lot healthier less unhealthy than Coke.

Diet coke is absolutely repulsive.

Where do you get Vanilla coke?

I love the taste of Diet Coke.....

YUM

Can't drink normal coke cos of all that sugar piled into it :-P

But I've tried Coke Zero but I have a habit of vomiting in my mouth after drinking it....

Does anyone remember Diet Coke with lemon, or as I called it, Zeus's Elixir? That's all I remember from doing my Junior cert, zipping through the exams so I could get the hell out of there to drink lemon-flavoured, brown-coloured, carbonated sugar water.

Well then you're not really drinking it, are you?
