I always wished Canada Dry would bring back Wild Cherry. That shit rocked.

I thought it was just a diet coke? Is there a normal one too?

Also, they need to start adding some flavors to Coke Zero now. I drink that most of the time.

I drink Canada Dry Wild Cherry all the time (unless they stopped making it within the last month or so).

[Dutch]

I don't think I've had a Canada Dry Wild Cherry in 20 years! Maybe they don't sell it in the shady grocery stores that I go too. :confused:

[sabotai]

Probably not. I've only seen it in 2 liter bottles at the supermarket.

[Grammaticus]

I think it tastes pretty good. Pretty much seems like a cola option for the cherry vanilla dr. pepper. I'm guessing the dr. pepper version must be doing well.

[QuikSand]

I think it could use a twist of lime, maybe a touch of honey, and should be sweetened with stevia. And it should be French vanilla.

Why "French" vanilla, because it surrenders to your taste buds?

And then Pepsi would come out with it's own version two weeks later:

Black Cherry French Vanilla Lime Honey Stevia Diet Crystal Pepsi One

[oliegirl]

Honey? That just sounds disgusting... I am a huge fan of the "flavored" soda - with Diet Pepsi with Lime being my favorite, I love Diet Coke with Lime also, but for some reason the Pepsi version tastes "limier" if that is a word. I want to taste the Black Cherry Vanilla flavor, but haven't found it in the stores yet.

[gottimd]

This was just announced on the local TV news, pepsi just released their new Black Cherry French Vanilla Lime Honey Stevia Diet Crystal Pepsi One.

All it needs a touch of Old Bay seasoning and Wasabi and we got ourselves a great new drink. Coke will probably come out with that soon.

I wonder how many people here actually know what Old Bay is.

[sterlingice]

I haven't seen this yet. I'm curious as they're basically copying Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper and that stuff tastes good.

Dr Pepper (more specifically Diet Dr Pepper) seems to have a "going flat really fast" issue. I think it's the best tasting diet soda, but it's fucking flat by the time I'm halfway through it.

Have you tried turning the vibrator off when you're drinking your soda? :eek:

:D

SII couldn't disagree more. That combination just doesn't go well together to me. I usually like the odd combinations, like Pitch Black Mountain Dew, but that's one I can't get behind. I may try it again to see if it was just a bad day or something...

[Tigercat]

I wonder how many people here actually know what Old Bay is.

We have our own local brands of seafood and meat seasonings down here, but we eat so much seafood and everyone likes variety enough that Old Bay gets around even down south. I used some the other day when I made my own crabcakes.

[scooper]

Back on topic, I think the black cherry vanilla tastes just like normal vanilla coke.

[stevew]

Yeah, word on that.

Old Bay on popcorn is good too.

Yeah, I really don't get much cherry...but I hate vanilla coke so it could be im focusing on the taste I dislike.

[sterlingice]

As of tonight, I can officially endorse the making of black cherry vanilla coke floats. Then again, I like a lot of floats, with I think my personal favorite being A&W Creme Soda float, tho that's a bit sweet for most people.

IBC root beer
IBC creme soda
IBC black cherry

All yummy for the tummy.

Like IBC but, I love Stewart's Black Cherry, Creme, Key Lime and Orange.

I still think soda tastes best when in a glass bottle.

[digamma]

I love it. I don't drink soft drinks, but if I'm in a convenience store and I see this (two fairly big ifs), I'll get one.

^--- Gets it.

Jones Green Apple Soda has quickly become my crack... I've succeeded in eliminating all of my soda intake except for that stuff and Stewart's flavours.

[thealmighty]

Is Stewart's a local brand or is it nationwide?

[Ksyrup]

I haven't tried this one yet, but I was disappointed to read that Coke discontinued the regular and diet Vanilla. I thought the diet was much better than the regular Vanilla, because the vanilla flavor comes through much better without the sweetness of the original Coke masking the flavor. But to not have either, and if this "new" dark cherry vanilla isn't as good, I'm not going to be happy.

[Kodos]

I want Cherry Coke Zero.

[Ksyrup]

Yeah, flavored Coke Zero is where they need to go next. I'd be interested to see how well Coke Zero is selling. For all we know, it might be doing poorly. I don't recall seeing any commercial for it in a long time.

I don't recall seeing any commercial for it in a long time.It better be selling well, the stuff is a godsend. If I hear its selling poorly I might go out and buy a couple years worth of supply.

[Wolfpack]

I dunno. I never really cared for the vanilla flavoring in either the Vanilla Coke or this new Black Cherry Vanilla Coke. Seemed way too overpowering to me. I've had cokes where they added vanilla after the fact (say at Johnny Rocket's or Steak 'n Shake) and those go over much better.

I still much prefer just plain Cherry Coke anyway....

[ISiddiqui]

Ditto... I can't go back to regular Diet Coke. Even Diet Coke with Lime pales in comparison.

[Passacaglia]

Just had a few bottles of Black Cherry Vanilla Coke -- I like the Dr. Pepper variety better.

When's Coke Blak coming out?

[ISiddiqui]

Sometime in '06, but France is getting it first.

See, I like that the vanilla is overpowering. If it wasn't, then I'd just rather have plain Coke.

[MizzouRah]

Cherry Coke is #2 for me, right behind Dr. Pepper.

Like some, the vanilla is over powering, imo.

[sterlingice]

Coke + Coffee != teh win

[marshall881]

Jones Sugar Free Black Cherry, is my current favorite.

Very Addictive.

[Mustang]

I believe National... Was part of snapple but, now is part of Schweppes and moved from Denver to N.Y..

[stevew]

Tried that relatively new Berries and Cream Dr. Pepper. Pretty darn good.

[Crapshoot]

yup - no sugar, still great taste. I love that stuff.

[Schmidty]

I was so thirsty today, I drank Canada Dry.

[Chubby]

Fuck that cherry shit...

BRING BACK CRYSTAL PEPSI!!!

[Franklinnoble]

I agree... Black Cherry Vanilla Coke is teh suck.

When's Coke Blak coming out?


Comes out Tuesday in the States (4/11). I'm surprised the love Coke Zero is getting here. I love it, but it is getting herder and harder to find. I wish I could get it at the fountain, because I absolutely can't stand Diet now and I can't drink real Coke anymore because of diabetes.

[bob]

I saw Blak in a grocery store this weekend in ATL - a four pack of small bottles (smaller than the ones you normally see at gas stations) for almost $6.

I saw coke Zero at the fountain somewhere the other day. I think it was a target. If you have a local 7/11 you might be able to talk the manager into ordering it for their fountain. Worth a shot anyways.

[Wolfpack]

I also saw Blak at the local Target mid-week last week. $6 for four eight-ounce bottles (essentially $6/liter)? Um...no. That could be the greatest stuff invented but I'm not forking that much for it.

Mmmmmmm....going to have to check out Target.

[GrantDawg]

...but that really doesn't help much. I'm talking about fountains at restaurants. Some food needs soda, and it is the only soda that I drink.

[JeeberD]

Tried that relatively new Berries and Cream Dr. Pepper. Pretty darn good.

I saw commercials for it yesterday and was drooling. Damn no soda vow... :mad:

[terpkristin]

I've been seeing the 4 packs as well

I bought a 4 pack of Coca-Cola Blak today (in Dundalk, MD, of all places).

It's not terrible, though grossly overpriced. It's a bit too sweet for my liking. It had a sort of caramel-creme flavor to it. FWIW, I had it at room temperature. Might be different cold. At the price it was and how I didn't *really* enjoy it, I don't think I'll be buying it again in the future.

/tk

[Daimyo]

I like Coke Blak a lot, but won't drink it much if at all because of the price.... it tastes kind of like coke and kahlua.

Sweet! I'll have to hit up the walgreen's and 7-11 near me!

I just tried the Berries and Cream Dr. Pepper a few days ago. I started out thinking it was awesome, but got sick of it by the end of the bottle.

And yeah, Crystal Pepsi pwned all.

[GrantDawg]

Tried Blak yesterday (even though I'm not supposed to). It was "eh."

[Izulde]

Crystal Pepsi was the bomb.

[GrantDawg]

I prefered Crystal Gravy.

[sterlingice]

I prefered Crystal Gravy.

Right now! :D

[stevew]

The Diet Berries and Cream is definately worth trying. Didnt really notice that "diet aftertaste."

[Ksyrup]

Just bought the new Dr. Pepper Berries n Cream. That's some good stuff. I wish I hadn't started with the regular, because I have a feeling it will be difficult switching to diet.

[QuikSand]

I'm having my first Dr. Pepper Berries n' Cream as I type... I guess it's pretty much as advertised. A pretty busy taste, but not bad.

I actually like that one a lot. Actually, I love all Dr. Pepper's...even the Cherry Vanilla which nobody else seems to like. Dr. Pepper is my favorite dark soda.

[Daimyo]

I tried the Berries n's Cream and hated it... I do like the Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper okay.
