I’m enjoying a vanilla coke right now. It’s coke-y, it’s vanilla-y. S’alright 🙂 ---

I found Vanilla Coke on campus here in Orange County (Southern California) a coupla days ago. Nothing to write home about, really, tastes like cream soda with a splash of Coke. ---

Vanilla Coke, really? I’ll have to look for that…my mom laments the passing of the soda counter at wollworths and their fantastic vanilla cokes. If I can find some, I think she’ll be thrilled. Thanks! ---

Vanilla Coke has landed in the Metro DC area as well. Bought a bottle at the local 7-Eleven last night. Very cream-soda-ish, I thought. Tasty, though. My next experiment will be to see how it tastes with rum. I have high hopes. ---

I got a Vanilla Coke in a gas station somewhere in eastern-central PA. I’d never heard of there being a pre-made version, and the bottle looked a tiny bit, well, off, so at first I thought it might have been some sort of unauthorized Coca-Cola “mod”, heh. Very tasty, though. It’s hard to get the ratio of vanilla to Coke right, but the Coca-Cola company seems to have done a good job. ---

I’m in a MD suburb of DC as well, though round the Beltway from you, WSLer. The Safeway closest to me (West Hyattsville) had single bottles of the new Vanilla Coke so I picked one up this AM. I’m liking it alot, although I think it would probably taste best in a glass with ice. 🙂 Didn’t taste like cream soda to me, though. JMHO and good luck finding some! ~~tarragon~~ ---

Found some in Chicago today. Though I still maintain that the Coke here tastes funny, vanilla or no (I just moved here in September, and for some reason it tastes slightly different in Michigan) I like it. Don’t bother with lemon Coke, though (or diet Coke – I’ve only ever seen it in diet form). It’s nasty. ---

I love vanilla fountain coke; haven’t tried the premix yet. The lemon pepsi is pretty good. Once in England I saw strawberry pepsi, but never got around to trying it. ---

Does anyone have any information on whether Diet Vanilla Coke will ever be available? If that’s true, there really must be a god. Presumably, of course, that it isn’t unspeakably foul like Diet Coke w/ Lemon or Diet Pepsi Twist. ---

I found Vanilla Coke 20 oz. bottles at a Walgreens here in Florida. I was disappointed. It tastes like Coke with a little cream soda mixed in. It’s not bad, but I think I’d rather just have the cream soda. I wouldn’t go out of my way to buy it again. ---

Why is vanilla in red? ---
