    Not entirely sure if there's a thread for this already, but I know I pure loved the stuff and still do, should coca cola bring it back? I know tesco does their own brand of it, but it's not the same!

    Vanilla coke is muck

    You can get vanilla coke in lots of places. There are three shops fairly local to me that I can think of off the top of my head, and I hate the stuff so wouldn't be looking out for it.

    Aye old candy shops. But it's imported so the price is awful

    Two of the shops I'm thinking of are a newsagent and a discount shop.

    1.60 in wexford! If you like it there's an online store candyland.ie that sells 12 packs for 12 quid. Not bad in fairness!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,445 ✭✭✭✭gammygils


    Yes. They should. I loved it. Haven't seen it anywhere in a while. Candyland
    shops in Galway stocked it. Around €1.50 a can
    And there was a thread about this a while ago.....

    I'm just going to ring coca cola and demand it back. Or at least bloody sell me some bottles. I hate the cans can't stand cans of coke, regular cherry vanilla any of them, I WANT BOTTLES OF THE SHTUFF LAHDS BOTTLES


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,812 ✭✭✭thelad95


    In Kilkenny City I know of at least 3 places that sell it. There is a pound shop which sells it for 60c a can and there's mr simms which sells it for €1.85. They are worlds apart though. The Mr Simms one comes in a larger can with a slightly different cover. It also tastes rank. The pound shop on the other hand is lovely.

    My local garage sells cans of vanilla coke and cans of cherry coke for 1e (also bottles but cant recall the price). They also have a savage selection of energy drinks. Needless to say I'm a happy man.

    Take the worst soft drink ever and add the blandest ice cream flavour ever to it.

    WTF were they thinking?

    Ah squeeze a fecking lime in there. Daycent vanilla costs 3 times the price of the coke


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 72 ✭✭Roguee


    I saw it somewhere the other day.... cant remember were though :L


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,812 ✭✭✭thelad95


    What I find with cherry and vanilla coke is that once you get past the first 3-4 sips it just tastes like normal coke anyway :( . My sister was in the states a few years ago and bought home coke orange and diet coke with lime. Both poison.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 744 ✭✭✭dpofloinn

    That dont work its no where near synthetic enough the only thing you can change with a wedge of lime is the taste of pissy beer


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 944 ✭✭✭BetterThanThou


    I've found every Boots and Superdrug shop stocks both cherry and vanilla coke, they even stock diet cherry coke. In Dublin, anyway. I've found cherry coke is slowly creeping back in to normal shops, I've found a few Centra's that sell it. Not a huge fan of cherry coke, hopefully vanilla coke follows suit and becomes widely available.

    Vanilla Coke used to make me get sick. Hated the stuff.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,835 ✭✭✭✭cloud493


    3 cans of vanilla coke for a euro in Dublin. 1 euro for a bottle.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,510 ✭✭✭nikpmup


    Throw a drop of vanilla extract into a can of normal coke. It's all sh!te anyway, wouldn't do it any harm.


  • Posts: 26,052 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Both Vanilla and Cherry Coke disgust me, but there used to be a Coke with Lime in the States about ten years ago and it was absolutely the best drink ever manufactured. Ever.

    No interest in having vanilla coke again. Euhh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,749 ✭✭✭✭wes


    They sell Vanilla coke at one of the local shops near me. Can't stand the stuff personally, but its readily available it seems.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 535 ✭✭✭Mugatuu


    I can't get coke with lemon anywhere! I used to love it. Tried Mr. Simms, Kittys cabin and all the poundshops. Does anyone know if the Candyland shop in Galway sell it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,921 ✭✭✭Hande hoche!


    Well the Irish branch of Coke have started producing Cherry coke so hopefully the Vanilla version will be made soon. You can get the Uk version of Vanilla Coke in Boots and Superdrug.

    Vanilla is actually one of the most complex flavours.

    I love vanilla flavour and scent very much but it's easy to get wrong and when it is, it makes ya want to throw up
    Be curious to try vanilla coke and see anyway

    The Joyces chain of shops i Galway sell them at the same price as normall cola, i buy it by the bucket load when im up


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,451 ✭✭✭blastman


    My local Tescos are selling cherry Coke again, and at least one of the local garages has been selling it and vanilla Coke at a Euro a can for a couple of months, I'd say. I have to say I like it every now and again (fnarr!)
