Vanilla Coke

Sydney · #1 04-02-2002, 10:22 AM

Sources say the Coca-Cola Company will be introducing Vanilla-flavoured Coke to the world within a few months via a gigantic launch campaign. How do you feel about this?

Never being a huge fan of coke, I'm looking forward to this new vanilla drink!

looks so strange

I forgot about April Fool's. It's actually April 2nd here, but the date on the article reads April 1st. I would have thought CNN was above that, unless they were fooled, too. A shame, vanilla coke sounds so tasty.

:

An article in industry newsletter Beverage Digest said numerous people within the company expected a U.S. launch of a vanilla-flavored Coke "within the next few months.''

Beverage Digest? Hmm.

Originally their were many flavors of coke, including but not excluding others, cherry, lime, and yes the now infamous vannila coke. I myself prefer mountain dew or a good fruit based shake myself.

Cor, I could really do with Vanilla Coke to cool me down in the summer months. Homefully it'll be a real vanilla flavour, instead of some cheap chemical foulness (pay attention banana-flavoured products).

That is, of course, if it's ture.

And if this is an April Fool's thing, make sure it was posted before 12 noon. If it isn't you can swipe at them, because it's not April Fool's Day after midday (just like Jack Dee's Happy Hour - it's not happy and it's not an hour).

Vanilla coke, sounds sick. Cool to actualy be around if its real, like Halo Babies, but sounds nasty... My April FOols day was a flop, all i got to do was take the batteries out of my bros neo geo pocket color and cd player, then take the spares.... ANd tape ove the mouse balls, but i got in trouble for that...

if you really want some, buy some vannila extract and coke then try finding a good ratio.

My Brother made a vanilla coke a couple of years back. He put in vanilla ice-cream and then he stirred it and he put it in the freezer. After that he let it melt and he put some white milo stuff in it. Disgusting. Very, very disgusting.

If you go to a nostalgic restaraunt (Johnny Rockets or Steak 'n' Shake), you can ask for flavoured syrups in your coke. Chocolate coke is my favourite, and I think that all of them are pretty good. I didn't like the vanilla as much as the chocolate, but the strawberry syrup was good too - just watch out for the buzz afterwards.

I think I've heard of this Vanilla-flavoured Coke ages ago... *hmmm* Any way, it probably was a joke. Not that it would mather to me, since I boiqot the Coca Cola Company...

Steve · #13 04-04-2002, 07:16 PM

actually I believe that this isn't an april fools joke, unless in georgia (that is where coca-cola is based, right?) april fools means all april.

Actually, April Fool's jokes have to be played before midday on April 1st, else the joker is the fool.

Any one else see that program on April Fools jokes, the other night? Reminds me of the newspaper that ran the story about the farmer who'd bred spaghetti plants (plants that grew strands of spaghetti on their leaves). Some people were taken in by it, I think, as well...

As an aside, vanilla coke sounds pretty minging. *bleaugh, a la little kid on the Hovis advert*

May I inquire as to why you boycott Coca-Cola, Fazerina?
