Bye Bye Vanilla Coke!

I saw the thread yesterday, read through it, and was thrilled to hear Vanilla Coke is back... now the question is just whether the local stores will start carrying it again... hopefully I won't need to do anything drastic to figure out if it still tastes as good as I remember it...
I mean if you want something that tastes good, get it. if you want something that's healthy have that. But diet coke, that's just neither here nor there, it doesn't taste good, and your are lying to yourself if you think just cos it's diet it's some how good for you. i don't get it.
Sounds like you haven't tried Diet Coke Plus yet.
It's handy stuff if you fancy some pop but can't drink regular Coke if you're diabetic then all that sugar isn't going to do you much good at all. Suar-free Diet Coke, however, is quite safe for the discerning sugar dodger to sup.
I hated the stuff! I LOVEEEE Cherry Coke but I tried Cherry Diet and I was nearly sick I hated it as much as the Vanilla Coke!
i'm sure i can make an exception for diabetics. but other than that is still stand behind me position.
how do you feel about black cherry vanilla coke? now that's a conundrum.
and i think that's worse than actual sugar...diet stuff usually has some sort of chemical additives to make the flavor the same. that's why i canned splenda and most so called sugar-free products after i found out what those chemicals can really do...it's horrible.
and this coming from someone that hasn't drunk any soda in months, and rarely drinks soda (i usually drink plain old water).

does anyone have the same frustrations as me...i loved lime and vanilla coca cola and they phased them both out which was a shame as i cant stand tinned coa cola.
i see they have brough out orange coke now which is noticeable because its in a pure orange bottle in the uk.
i have tasted it and its not bad but you have to drink a few bottles first to see if you get the habit like i did with good old vanilla and the lime replacement.
i like coke out the glass bottles with a slice of lemon in on a hot day but cant stand the lemon flavoured bottled stuff.
any one got any comments on my view or a similar view....would be interested folks.
sparky marky.

I wouldn't worry so much. The original post was 1.5 years ago, and diet vanilla coke is still around. It think the more pressing concern is that this THREAD may never die.
Guess I'll have to resort to Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper
Don't know why everyone wants them to go away.
If you don't like them, just don't buy/drink them.
I like the variety and choices.
Woof, Woof - Dawg
I am -=severely=- addicted to Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper. It's almost a force of habit going into a gas station, fill up my car with gas, then my tummy with DCVDP
I can't believe it took them this long to get rid of coke w/ lemon *shudders*
personally, i think they should stop making all pop.
the **** is disgustingly bad for you.
Want the same rush? take 10 spoonfuls of sugar, add it to some water...stir until dissolved and drink it.
it's the same crap.
no wonder there are so many lard-arse sized kids these days....

I never tried it, I don't drink Coke. I used to drink "Pepsi Max", but I don't even drink that anymore. The closest I get to soft drinks is Lemonade and "Feel Good" Orange and Pasionfruit.
Vanilla coke was available over her for just a couple of years but I liked it very much. I hope they bring it back to Europe (and Belgium) soon.
Exactly, I'm not exactly a major fan of the taste but my sugar levels spike badly several times a day, if I can cut them down drastically just by drinking a diet version then I'd rather take that option...
I'm used to love Vanilla Coke, this now gives me a good excuse to drink myself sick on this stuff....
It's back? Yay! I adore it! However, it's really bad for you.... but... ah well. I'll drink it anyway, I only have two sodas a week anyway.
Could all the poseur health nuts relax with the "oh its so bad for you" comments? Come back when you have evidence that diet sodas are any worse for you than beer/wine, concentrated juices, or tea/coffee. Stop spreading FUD. I for one would welcome the return of diet vanilla coke.
i don't think vanilla coke ever left in australia. I'm not that sure because my school has converted to the crap diet stuff, although the diet coke with vanilla isn't that bad...
Hated it. Also hated lemon diet coke. The lime was tolerable, and the cherry diet coke I buy about once every month or so. But plain ol' diet coke is my poison.
