Vanilla Coke

***Saria Dragon of the Rain Wilds*** · 12-11-2009, 09:51 AM

Is superior on my tastebuds, as it tastes remarkably like cookies. And Coke. Mmmm.

Unfortunately, it seems that the local stores are starting to cease their stockage of the delicious beverage. Woolworths is the only place I can consistantly buy it anymore.

What "normal" drinks have you lost over the years? (meaning, they're not limited time only dealies, ya know?)

Stewart's either stopped making ginger beer or everybody stopped carrying it---either way, I can't get ginger beer anywhere for love or money, and I'm pissed off about it.

I'd thought Big Red and Big Peach were gone forever until the gas station up the street started stocking them both (along with Big Blue, which I'd never even heard of before).

I love Vanilla Coke. I had stopped drinking soda for a long time, but then I caved in since we have VC in all the soda fountains here at my school, and I've been hooked ever since. XD

I loved Vannila Coke, but unfortunatly I haven't seen it anywhere between Pennsylavania and Florida. The last time I had one was 7-8 years ago...

***The Doctor*** · 12-11-2009, 03:55 PM

Vanilla Coke was a limited time offer over here. Although it does seem to return now and again. But my favourite drink has to be...

Tizer Ice. Its taste, unbelievable, and not enough words could be use to say what it was like. But you didn't have to keep it in a fridge to make it taste cold. You could leave it in the sun for a full day, and it would still taste a cold as an iceberg. Probably not good for you, but still I wish it would re-appear.

Irn-bru....still avaible, still awesomesauce.

Mountain Dew, hard to find in the UK for a decent price, even harder to find in a decent place.

Vanilla Coke doesn't taste like Coke.

Why would I drink Coke that didn't taste like Coke. It's illogical.

Jere · 12-11-2009, 04:22 PM

i like the taste but i must say it dosen't taste to much like coke but the craving comes from time to time and i only know one store that sells them on import, but then i buy 24 cans each time and they sell out of their stock so im not worried that they will stop sell it.

***Heroine of the Dragon*** · 12-11-2009, 06:03 PM

I'm not into sodas too much. If I want that much sugar I'll just raid the sugar dispenser and eat it straight. Or... eat lollies!!!

However, I do like some lemon squashes but the taste has changed over the years so I don't drink much of it either.

Jere · 12-11-2009, 06:35 PM

i first missread that to lorry then i read it again, hillarity ensued

Do you have a Target anywhere nearby? They carry a ginger beer, last I checked.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

***Booyakasha*** · 12-11-2009, 10:23 PM

I'll look next time I go. I don't hold out much hope---not everybody knows how to make it right. There's this 'all-natural ginger beer' product that my store carries. Tried it once out of desperation. It tastes like pineappley grapefruity Sprite---not bad per se, but definitely not the real deal. Didn't even taste like ginger. I mean, I'm not some soda expert, but I'm pretty sure making it taste of ginger is a key step in getting the flavour right.

Zharen · 12-12-2009, 12:14 AM

I do like me some vanilla coke here and there. They still carry it in several stores around my area. I think one of the Subway's here even has it as an option for their soda dispenser.

Haha, I do this too.

***Cosmonautical*** · 01-08-2010, 05:09 AM

I really wish they didn't pull Josta. That stuff was great.

And yeah, Vanilla Coke is awesome. They sure as hell better not stop making it. Bad enough you can't get it in less than a 2 liter here.

SweetDeesDiary · 03-18-2010, 05:52 PM

the only thing good about vanilla coke is that it mixes well with vodka

Dizzy · 03-18-2010, 09:49 PM

dnL.

Oh, how I miss the green, upside-down weirdness.

MembouKun · 07-26-2010, 06:50 AM

You could always just pour some vanilla extract into regular coke. *gets beaten by Vanilla Coke purists*

Fairlight Excalibur · 07-27-2010, 05:35 AM

It was only a matter of time before this topic was resurrected.

It would shock me to find any major retail store here in California that does NOT carry Vanilla Coke.

I consume soda in vast quantities... but I only experience Vanilla Coke cravings every third month or so.

Dry Bones · 07-27-2010, 11:57 AM

Actually Vanilla Coke, I don't see anywhere now. Only Cherry Coke.
