Vanilla Coke

Coke must be the single most widely recognised product anywhere. Sold all over the world, I doubt even McDonalds is quite as widespread. Whilst this success could be said to be down to the influence of plant extracts which are known to be narcotic, it has to be pointed out, these are no longer present in the drink, although perhaps the memory lingers on. Aggressive marketing techniques might also have played an important part in this long running quest for world domination (of the drinks market that is, although you never can tell). But at the end of the day, you just have to face the reality ... more

Hoping that got your attention! Well I haven’t exactly been prolific in the old food and drink section so after visiting my local Dillons at lunchtime I thought I’d have a bash at a new product – Vanilla Coke. This is specifically regarding the diet version as that is my beverage of choice and I will now try to convince you, the public, of why this very American import is a good idea! First off; the look. Vanilla Coke comes in a very similar bottle to all the other Cokes, the only difference with this one being the cream screw top lid and the swirl of vanilla on the label, of ... more

Does anyone know where Vanilla comes from ? Answer, it comes from the seed pod of a climbing tropical Orchid found in Africa !! There ya go, don't say you don't learn owt from a WormThatTurned opinion now will ya !!

After that was 'Cherry Coke' which was cola laced with fresh ... more

I've seen so many ops about it I had to try it! lol Vanilla coke is the business, move over Cherry Coke there's a new guy in town. :o) Made by Coca Cola, this Vanilla Coke has been released hot on the heels of Coke with Lemon. Available in 'normal' and diet versions, in cans and 500ml bottles you get the feeling that Coca Cole are finding their feet in the flavoured cola market...... and they're doing a brilliant job! oOoOo THE BOTTLE oOoOo The usual clear plastic bottle, with only a slight change to the usual Coca Cola bottle label. The original red label is still there but has swirls and ... more

At first I was a little bit dubious about trying vanilla coke, I mean Vanilla with Coke??? Nah, no way mate... But, after hearing all the hype and continuously seeing it in shops. I thought, oh what the heck I may as well try it. You see, I got so fed up of seeing it everywhere that it was time to take a deep breath and try it. Whilst I was standing there looking at the coke bottle mustering up the courage to taste it my husband was halfway through his glass. I was actually surprised at how much I liked it. Looking at the bottle it looked just like ordinary coke, black with little bubbles. To ... more
