    The lemon and lime flavours are staying as is cherry, although in the US lemon is going! I know a guy from Coke UK and he said lime is the best flavoured seller.
    I was never into vanilla coke though, but sad to see it go here and the US :(
    Vanilla Coke


    that's just the pits. i love Vanilla cola. hope pepsi jump on the Vanilla bandwagon

    That sounds lush! Have you tried that? Slightly off topic but when I was in NY in December I tried Wild Cherry Pepsi and that was really nice too.

    Again slightly off topic Pepsi have been doing some exotic flavours over here too. Over Xmas there was Pepsi Max Punch (which was lovely) and yesterday I bought some Pepsi Max Coffee Cino (yes, coffee flavoured Pepsi) from Asda which I must say I think is really nice!

    Coca Cola might not be great for your health, but if you're going to make such statements, please get your facts right first.

    There is more acid in an apple than there is in a can of coca cola. I once left a lettuce leaf in glass of coca cola for a week, and nothing happened to it. I did the same with a 2p coin and there wasn't much difference with that either.

    And, it is doing nothing to our insides, because our stomachs produce acid to break down food. This acid is much much stronger than the acid found in coke. The entire lining of our insides is therefore protected against damage from acid, so don't worry, you're not going to dissolve from the inside out :D


    I realise we're not going to dissolve!!! :eek:
    But there is no way Coke is "good" for us, whereas an "acidic" apple has more vitamins etc than you could write on a piece of A4.

    I have to say Cherry Coke tastes like cat piss. I cannot understand how anyone can drink it, its almost as bad as Vanilla coke which churns my stomach just thinking about.

    Hmmm, cat piss. So refreshing!

    I'm sat here drinking Pepsi Max Cino (the coffee one) while reading this thread. It shouldn't work but it does.

    Sad to hear Vanilla Coke is going but Diet Cherry Cola rules all, so glad that's coming instead.

    Pepsi Blue was an insanely nice drink whilst it was being produced, Mmmmm, berry fusion!

    But I hear they don't produce it anymore as it was not very popular? I don't understand that because it quickly became my all-time favourite drink after having some.

    I love Vanilla Coke too, but admit it's been at least a year since I last tasted it. The drink just appeared to vanish!

    I have to say, whilst I drunk fizzy drinks a lot when I was younger, now I'm in my 20s I really can't see the appeal. They make your teeth feel horrible, they aren't very good for you and they don't taste that great. Drink more water and fruit juices (in moderation, and not from concentrate) - its much better for you.

    A programme I watched about corporations said that in WW2 Coca-Cola developed Fanta Orange so they could continue to make profit in Germany.

    Coke Zero is the 'Normal' Coca-Cola flavour with no sugar
    Diet Coke is actually the sugar-free version of the short lived 'New Coke' that the Coca-Cola company introduced in the 80's (and was withdrawn due to huge public demand)

    I hated Vanilla Coke, so I'm not upset about that leaving the shelves. Do enjoy Cherry Coke though, and I know a few people that'll be pleased a Diet version is coming out. I think pretty much all the big supermarkets stock the 2l bottle of Cherry Coke round here.

    I also like Cherry 7-up, which I can only seem to find in cans and not 2l bottles anywhere.

    I've not seen these new Pepsi's around yet. Will have another look when I'm next in a supermarket. Does anyone know if you can get them in the SE yet or is it another thing that's being tested in a few areas only?

    And some of the acid in stomach acid is made of cola anyway... it's called PEPSIn :D:p

    I've kind of gone off cola and moved on to 7up, so I only drink Pepsi/Coke in the pub or when 7up isn't available in the shops...

    Talking of 7up, didn't they make a Cherry flavoured one a while back? I think it's time 7up made some new flavours!

    My local Tesco does it, and I'm sure Sainsburys too..

    Yay! Drinking my first bottle of Diet Coke with cherry! Its a strange taste and seems more cherry than coke :D

    The co-op by me is selling two bottles for £1.30 :D

    Coca-Cola an absolutely revolting syrupy-sweet tasting drink, it is certainly not thirst quenching and I can never understand its popularity :confused:

    It is lovely stuff and I love the cherry vanilla coke too! Hopefully that'll get over here.

    Why can't we have Mr Pibb? :confused:

    Is it true that coke tasted a lot different in the past, than it does today? A bit like lucozade?
