heheheeeee.... *bounces all over the place happy-like* They started bottling and selling it here!! No more hugely expensive bottles of vanilla and cases of coke, and trying to mix it juuuuust right!! Just had to share. :)

Hi, cricket! Glad you're thrilled at this, but I can't imagine it: love vanilla, hate Coke! By the way, don't do too much jigging up and down or all you'll get is froth!!!

Liliana	19 May 2002
*joins the dance* we have it toooo andwe looove it :)

Phoenix	19 May 2002
You know, I've never tried it. Maybe because we don't have it here in Canada. I usually mix it myself.

Kaz	19 May 2002
what exactly is this? vanilla ice solved in coca cola? kaz

Malachite	19 May 2002
Well...that must be a one side of the atlantic only thing...I've never even contemplated vanilla in coke before... hmm...it shakes the foundations of my world-view...

Phoenix	19 May 2002
Holy Hell! I just realized that Malachite is from the UK!! Man, am I dense or what!

jade	19 May 2002
i've never heard of it?????? jade

cricket	19 May 2002
OK, for all you poor deprived people out there... ;) Vanilla coke is exactly what it sounds like - vanilla flavoring (like what's put in cakes and cookies) mixed with Coca-Cola. It sounds odd, but is actually really good. Now to get Coke to start bottling cherry vanilla Dr. Pepper... })

aciddragon	19 May 2002
This is the first I hear of vanilla coke too. I love vanilla but not sure if I'd like it in my soda. I'm more Pepis then coke anyway. Coke is got too much acid for me. I like vanilla Vodka does that count?!? Hmm vanilla & Coke. Does that count too? ;)

Jimilyn	19 May 2002
I get vanilla Cokes at our local Sonic Drive-ins. :) Yummy. You can actually add many different kinds of flavoring to your soft drinks. But it's fountain drinks and not bottled. Jimilyn

Sam	19 May 2002
no offense-but this sounds disgusting!

(Well, as soon as I moved to an area that has Sonics. *L*) If you like them, you might try a cherry vanilla Dr. Pepper. :) We could start a petition to get them to bottle those, too...

Kaz	20 May 2002
sounds YUCK kaz

kayne	20 May 2002
Hmm... It has never made it's way below the equator either... (Not ot my knowledge anyway...) I am a big Coke fan but I don't know if I would like my coke even sweeter!!! (Pepsi with a lemon twist has just been released here... Don't know about that one either...:P)

Liliana	20 May 2002
Ive been drinking pepsi twist like crazy since its release too :) And also Mountain Dew Code Red (cherry mountain dew). We dont have sonics here, but when i was really little in the back of a department store there was a soda foutain that made them,i hadnt had one in years so i was happy to find the bottled stuff. I remember the fountain ones tasting a bit better tho ;) I miss Pepsi Kona, i want it back. To totally gross out you foreigners, it was coffee pepsi. It was good great thing to drink if you wanted to stay up all night for some reason :)

Kiama	20 May 2002
And here's little old England, with just plain boring Pepsi, and plain boring coke... *Sniff* If I wanted to make Vanilla Coke, what would I use? (Other than Coke!) Would I use Vanilla essence like you put in cakes, or the actual Vanilla pod scraping stuff? Kiama

Rhiannon	20 May 2002
*laughing* Kaz said Vanilla Ice dissolved in Coke... now I would want to get rid of Vanilla Ice but dissolving him in Coke could take a loooooong time! }) *laughing harder at the mental picture* "If you got a problem, yo, I'll solve it. Check out the beat while the DJ revolves it... Ice Ice Baby... Word to your Mutha!" LOL Rhiannon :)

Liliana	20 May 2002
heh thats silly Rhiannon but coke does clean pennies real good, the acid dissolves the gunk ;) do not drink afterward ;)

Rhiannon	20 May 2002
*stifles the laughter* It is also great for cleaning the corrosion off your car battery. And we DRINK this stuff! Rhiannnon :)

Kaz	20 May 2002
coke is pure poison, if you know what it dissolves........ a "copper" coin is gone in a week. i don't drink it. now i think of it, i have a collegue that is addicted to this stuff, if he doesn't get her shot in the morning she gets terrible headaches. it's worse than poison. kaz

Phoenix	20 May 2002
Kayne, Pepsi twist isn't all that bad, BUT Diet Coke with Lemon tastes a lot better. More fresh IMO.

Scary, huh? Kiama

Jimilyn	20 May 2002
Yes, Kaz, you're right. We shouldn't be drinking any of those drinks at all. I know better, I just don't do what I know to do. And I drink a lot of Diet Coke...even worse. :( Catcha later, Jimiyn

floracove	21 May 2002
Sounds like some one's fixing to blow chunkypuffs! Sorry I could not help myself... I'm a tea drinker myself, my granmother once told me that when she was younger they wore vanilla for perfume, tried it and it does smell good...

kayne	21 May 2002
But Coke just tastes so good!!! And nothing takes away that queezy, "I had a bit much to drink last night and now I have to get up early for work" feeling like a drink of coke...

catlin	21 May 2002
Ouäh, I do not like coke and such stuff. Sounds crazy to add Vanilla but maybe I'll try a sip if it is sold here.

Malachite	22 May 2002
I gave up all fizzy drinks last week...I'll give it a go!.. (and chocolate, but my family are refusing to accept that...) btw, catlin...I'm trying to learn German, so you're sig is a big target for me...hang on...

Malachite	22 May 2002
umm...."you fear the life and not the death" ?

Kaz	22 May 2002
you should fear the living, and not the dead. kaz

MysticRose	24 May 2002
All of you have known about Vanilla Coke all this time???? I only just found it at our grocery store yesterday!!! My husband and I got two - one for each of us. The first words out of his mouth were, "That's ODD!" The first words out of mine were, "YUM!!!" LOL I love cokes but only indulge once in awhile.... LL&BB, :TWOR ~ Sky ~ PS. I love cherry cokes too! :* Yes I have discovered emoticons :-)

Liliana	25 May 2002
What you need to do is get a cherry coke and a vanilla coke and mix them My husband did this last night and it was yummy :)

MysticRose	25 May 2002
Thanks Liliana. I will definitely try mixing them the next time I indulge! :TEMPS

lunar_rabbit	28 May 2002
I tried the new Vanilla Coke the other day, and have to say I'm not a big fan. Too sweet for me. I also tried the Diet Coke with Lemon -- and didn't like that either! It tasted really chemically to me. Guess I'll stick with water for now.....

Cocobird55	29 May 2002
I'll have to check the grocery store. I started drinking vanilla cokes when I was in high school, and hung out at the local drugstore that had a soda fountain. A small coke was 5 cents. A small vanilla coke was 7 cents. Denny's serves vanilla cokes if you ask them, and so do a lot of the pseudo-fifties diners. To make one at home, take about half a teaspoon of vanilla extract and put it into your coke. Stir well, and drink. Sue

All Is One	29 May 2002
I have no idea if I'll like it, but I'm open to the concept, Love vanilla scent (Yes- it works great as perfume, as many mass marketers discovered...'Vanilla Musk' etc.) But what up wit the R-Girrrl an her way cool image of Vanilla Ice dissolving in Coke? Wat up if I drop him in Pepsi? Yo! R-Girrl... Im down for that. Ice Ice Baby...let's steal someone's great top ten song with a fantastic bass line and talk a bunch of words to "da God-ess~" I think it could be catchy

Sam	16 Jun 2002
I tried it, and it was actually, to my amazement, very good. It tasted like reg. coke, except sweeter.

Starfish	16 Jun 2002
I'm with you, Chunky - I like it! (especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream floating around in it) :TQC Starfish

wavebreaker	16 Jun 2002
Even sweeter than coke!? I don't think I would like it...

Sam	16 Jun 2002

Jimilyn	18 Jun 2002
I finally got to buy some Vanilla Coke. Yummy! But that doesn't surprise me, since I'd already been ordering Cokes with Vanilla flavoring at the Sonic drive-in. :P Thankfully, the Vanilla Coke is infinitely better than the Lemon Coke...at least in my opinion. I thought I'd like Lemon Coke, but couldn't even finish one bottle. I threw the other one out. Yick!!! And that's very rare for me...I'm not a picky eater/drinker. I love to squeeze fresh limes into my Cokes. :) Mmmm... Jimilyn

AutumnMoonfire	20 Jun 2002
I only drink diet soda, I tried Diet Lemon Coke, it tasted like Pepsi. So I am waiting for Diet Vanilla Pepsi which should taste like Diet Coke. There is no such thing yet...but I am hopefull. I have not seen Diet Vanilla Coke...

Liliana	21 Jun 2002
I happy because nowi can get my vanilla coke in 2 litres yeah :) Have a 2 litre of it and a 2 litre of cherry in the fridge now for mixing purposes hehe :THP

PurpleGoddess	21 Jun 2002
My two favorite flavors. Never thought of mixing the two. It tastes like cream soda but w/more coke in it! It's here in CT and we even had it in work for about a week but not for a while.

AutumnMoonfire	21 Jun 2002
If it tastes like cream soda it ought to be amazing in an Ice cream soda with vanilla ice cream! It's hot here, hmm...maybe it's time to make a grocery run.......

cherrywind	21 Jun 2002
I tried it when I took a trip to Seattle a few weeks ago, and I thought it was wretched (then of course a week later they started selling it in Canada). I agree with my philosophy teacher, she says it has a distinct taste like skunk. If I want vanilla cola, I'll stick to Jones :).
