Why did you try it in the first place? ---

Could use a touch more vanilla, but I still thought it was delicious. And I like that they use natural flavor. (Beat the hell out of that noxious lemon coke, too.) I might chose vanilla coke over plain coke, given the option. ---

I had a definite hate/like relationship with my first bottle. Years of drinking vanilla Coke from the DQ has given me a strict opinion of what the stuff should taste like. This didn’t taste like it. But it wasn’t awful, so I continued drinking. By the end, I had gotten used to it, so I may buy one on occasion since it’s much more convenient than sitting in the DQ drive through. ---

I just picked one up from the store and I’m drinking it right now. Tastes kinda like old coke. Not Coke from the 80s, I mean, Coke that’s been sitting out for a couple of hours. Sweeter, but no real distinct flavor difference to be honest. Like others, I prefer making it myself when I’m in the mood. ---

I like it. It’s not a religious experience or anything, but it’s quite pleasant. It could use a little more vanilla, true. ---

How come I’ve only ever heard of this stuff on the SDMB? Is this available in Chicago? I haven’t seen it yet, but I’m very interested in trying it for m’self. Colin ---
