Vanilla Coke. That actually sounds interesting. I'll definitely give it a chance. I mean, it can't be any worse that New Coke.

Jones released a Vanilla Cola, oh, three or four years ago. My tastebuds were not that receptive to it, though many of my friends developed a liking for it.
Fufu Berry, on the other hand, is without question the greatest artificial fruit ever created. In Vancouver, no less.

I've ordered vanilla Pepsi at a local drive-in for, oh, years and years now. Delicious. Who knows whether they would be able to catch the taste via mass manufacturing. Assuming they decided to follow Coke's lead, of course.

Wonder if we'll get it over in the UK? Cherry Coke never really took off here... we certainly never got diet coke with lemon....

I used to put vanilla ice cream in both pepsi and coke, depending on what we had. Pepsi was vest in the begining, when I was little, but they changed it so much over the years that you can't recognize it anymore.
Tea, Coffee and Beer make up 98% of what I drink now. That'as two cups of coffee, a pitcher of tea most days, and the occational beer.

Geez, I tried New Coke and you know what it taasted like? Pepsi, pure Pepsi. What happened in reality was that most did not like Pepsi...New Coke was because it was too different from the original. Trust me, find a Coke factory somewhere and compare it to Pepsi and you will find a very strong similarity.
Vanilla Coke intrigues me, no more, no less. I don't hold a brand loyalty but I will drink Coke over Pepsi if given the choice.
They also said that they will try to tinker with Cherry Coke, which is bad for my bro since he seems to be addicted to it. (actually for some reason he will only buy it for his dorking out sessions)

I'm an avowed Diet Pepsi drinker. "Standard" formulas are too sweet for me & Diet Coke dries out my mouth (thanks, Nutrasweet A!). But when I went to Atlanta to see my ex-girlfriend in July, she introduced me to the vanilla Coke...& I really, really enjoyed it. The ONLY thing I enjoyed about that trip.

I don't consider myself a 'Pepsi man'.. i hate Pepsi, as colas go, I find Coke superior. However, my favorite soda is Mountain Dew.. unfortunately my recent ill health prevents me from drinking caffeine, so I'm shit out of luck. I just think that Crystal Pepsi was fun. Fun! Actually, any new soda is usually fun since its basically liquid candy. I'll be sure to give this one a try.
Artificial sweeteners arent worth the side effects.. dont be stupid, just work off the extra calories.
BTW, thanks for the thread title.

My capacity for caffeine blew out early this year in a rather sad, sad manner. Analagous to Shane MacGowan's liver shattering after another glass of Jameson's, I imagine. I used to literally be capable of drinking coffee by the pot. Now, any more than two mugs of black gold (or hell, two strong cups of tea) and I get all rumbly and ucky down there.
A terrible thing for a college student, to be honest. But I tell you, this unexplanable malaise will bear the brunt of the blame for this years marks. Absolutely.

Tea: I can drink quarts of iced tea (assuming it's sweetened properly) with no ill effects except the need to pee a lot. I once used a two-quart mix of cold earl grey to get me through an all nighter... then went two more days on it. Not jittery, just hyperkinetic. Everything seemed to move faster, thought and body.
Coffee: I have one drink of coffee, and I get ill. I just can't drink the stuff. I love the smell, though.
Pop: I'm indifferent to most pop. I'm supposed to drink only the 'clear' colas, (something to do with my allergies) which means I eventually developed a loathing for Sprite and 7-Up. I like Mountain Dew. I only tried Jolt once, and it coincided with a case of food poisoning, so I don't know if I like it.
