Bye Bye Vanilla Coke!

[Whyren]

Yes! Bring back Crystal Pepsi and its crystal goodness!

I think Crystal Gravy pretty much killed it.

Mmm...now you can see your meat!

There's always eBay.

Haha, Vanilla Coke was never that good anyways, to me. When I read this, it reminded me of McDonald's discontinuing it's Chicken Strips due to poor sales as-well. Oh well, I guess that's how the game is played ... ?

Yes! Bring back Crystal Pepsi and its crystal goodness!

Ah, that takes me back... good old Crystal Pepsi...

Can you post a pic of the UK version? I am fascinated by subtle nuances between countries like this.

Here you go... I can see it's my duty to post this:

Diet Coke with Bacon

To quote Emeril, Pork fat rules! Regular Coke (Classic) works as a pretty good marinade/tenderizer for pork chops.

Unfortunately Diet Coke w/Bacon would probably just be flavored with the same junk they use to make BacOs. They're Kosher, so you know they don't have any real pig in them.

Well I just bought a 2 liter bottle of Vanilla Coke for my last drinking use. When I can find the 6 pack of 12-20 oz bottles of Vanilla Coke I will buy some and join my collection of Coke sodas.

 

[AmericanIdiot12]

vanilla coke was the best...

 

[jiv3turkey748]

I like vanilla in my ice cream, not in my soda. Having never drunk vc, I think it be gross.

its delicous vanilla coke and cherry coke are the best soft drinks (next to jones soda)

 

[wdlove]

I tried the Vanilla flavor and it didn't do anything for me. Prefer the real thing. The only flavor that I really like added is cherry.

 

[Sirus The Virus]

Oh well. I can still get them at Sonic. There better there anyway.

Bac-Os =

The worst stomach pain I've experienced in my life came early in the morning after eating a bunch of Bac-Os at dinner. It didn't help that I was eating them by the spoonful, but I've learned my lesson with fake bacon products. One has to wonder: if it's not bacon, WTF is it?

If you want some nasty soda flavors, look no further than the the revolting offerings of Jones Soda Co.

I used to be addicted to Vanilla Coke. Still like them. Too bad they're being phased out.

Oh well, at least there's Cherry Coke and Coke with Lime.

 

[mac-er]

Me too! Whenever I go abroad I spend half the time saying "ooh, look - their road signs/chocolate wrappers/metro tickets/bottles of toilet cleaner look different.

As I hate the vanilla stuff, I don't have a bottle of it and can't find a picture on the net. But, here is a bottle and a can of British Diet Coke, recently bought on a excursion to the corner shop to buy the Sunday papers.

That looks just like how our Diet Coke labels look. Except ours don't have the "Sugar Free" banner on them. And your plastic bottles appear to be thinner.

We need a thread of various products that both countries have to discuss the differences.

 

[Laser47]

Im gonna miss vanilla coke, I always loved the way it left a vanilla aftertaste in my mouth after drinking it.
I also missed Pepsi Blue, its been so long I dont even know why I liked it so much, Probably because it looked so darn cool.

 

[solvs]

Ah, that takes me back... good old Crystal Pepsi...

Glad I'm not the only one who misses Crystal Pepsi.

 

[BakedBeans]

Do you know how much this will effect my life?

not fricken much

 

[Nermal]

I found "Citra Coke" (or something similar) today

OK, curiosity got the better of me and I bought some. It's very subtle, but it's a nice change

 

[iGav]

I am rather partial to Cherry Coke.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Cherry Coke....

 

[wdlove]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Cherry Coke....

Yes, awesome delicious. A nice change once in a while. I remember growing up getting Cherry Coke made fresh from the fountain, even better.

My hometown still has a soda fountain inside the local pharmacy that does that...actually, I think our bakery still does that as well. Small towns can be nice.

 

[iAlan]

So, the UK has Diet Coke then. I'll have to remember that...never liked the ambiguous taste of Coke Light in Denmark and Germany.

Great 'tar Whyren, I love it when he blinks (and he looks like a Japanese guy I dated)

Yeah, here in Japan it was Coke Lite 'caus the government is refered to as 'Diet'

Also, I think Japan was the first country to have cola and lemon in one bottle/can and it was Pepsi that did it a while back. Still got Pepsi/Diet Pepsi Twist here and not a bad drop. The Coke w/Lime wasn't very good and didn't last long in Japan. Vanilla Coke and Vanilla Pepsi went away quickly too.

I am Australian and we have a drink called Cream(y) Soda, it is not all that different to Root Beer, although Sarsbarela (sp?) is the closest thing I think, but anyway Cream(y) Soda is by far my favourite non-alcoholic bubbly beverage, but very hard to come by in Tokyo. Also like A&W Root Beer but can't get it readily here either.

Oh well, guess I should start drinking one of the 4,856 varieties of 'tea' available in bottles/cans in Japan, not to mention the 7,678 varieties of 'coffee' as well...
