Vanilla Coke - Diet

It is recommended that we drink 2.5 - 3 litres of fluids a day: to keep your body in good nick. Water is the top dog of drinks, say the urologists. However, I find that too much water is rather boring: as any fluid is better than none, I seek exciting and flavoursome fluids. When Diet Vanilla Coke was first released, I was rather reluctant to try it. It sounded a rather odd combination of flavours: it didn't really appeal. One day, when Tesco appeared to be having a drought on the small bottles of coke: I was left with no other option - Diet Vanilla Coke it was. - Diet Vanilla Coke it is made ... more

**Why am I drinking it?** Well, this morning I woke up to find that my water is off because of a burst water main. I was told at 7:15am that it would be back by 10am when I rang up, but as it’s now 10:30 and we still have no signs of water, I’m glad I do have another option. Of course typically enough the kettle is empty, and the choice of drink in the house is limited at the moment because I’m due to go shopping in two days time! So, my choice being Diet vanilla coke, Milk, or cranberry Juice, I opted for the vanilla coke (well wouldn’t you!). Obviously, seeing as how I can’t have the bath I ... more

I recently decided to take a break from my studies and I thought what would be the best way to spend my new found free time. It was lovely and sunny outside; I had been stuck in all day so I decided to take a walk to my local shop. When I got to the shop, there was a lot to chose from, I was spoilt for choice. For once, I did not want anything to eat because it just felt too much to handle in the hot sun. I wanted something refreshing to drink. I made my way to the drink section with either milkshake or a fruit juice smoothie in mind. As I approached the fridge full of cool drinks, I noticed a ... more

I wrote this true and honest impression of Diet Vanilla Coke when it first appeared on shelves a few months ago. I immediately asked Ciao to add a category for the product but for some reason got cold feet about posting my op on Ciao. Now for some devil-may-care madness in me this afternoon I’ve decided what the heck – I hope you enjoy it. As I was idly wandering back from a lovely Saturday afternoon spending spree, I found myself mulling. I quite often mull. There’s nothing wrong with a good mull every now and again. I was mulling over why I always tend to write upbeat “I love this product” ... more

Vanilla Coke. It didn’t appeal. It was my opinion that Coke should just stick to being Coke. They’ve got a successful formula so they should stop changing things around just to be gimmicky. It all started with Lemon Coke. They were giving away free samples in Glasgow one day when I tried it for the first time. It left a horrible aftertaste and made me feel sick. I never even drink Coca Cola, and only occasionally drink Diet Coke. So what made me try the vanilla variety? Whatever it was, I’m glad I did. Yummmmy! The bottle I bought was a 500ml bottle, I paid 69p for it in Somerfield. It’s also ... more
