    As a huge fan of it I always notice some shops either don't stock it or it's a tiny percentage that is drowned out by regular Coke and Diet Coke.

    Where do you live? Shetland Islands?

    Except Boots Westfield W12. Guess it must be popular if it keeps selling out.

    I suspect the Glaswegians have an Irn-Bru quota instead LOL.

    It's very popular in my house. I love it and drink far more than I should, vodka and cherry coke is beautiful. Diet coke with cherry is horrendous as is Pepsi max with cherry

    I really like Pepsi Max with cherry, thought it was nicer than the Coke eqivilient :)

    I like it, but prefer cherry pepsi which I can't even remember when I saw it in a UK shop

    To me Cherry Coke tastes like somebody stuck half a bottle of Calpol into a bottle of coke, can't stand it :D

    Always liked Citrus Diet Coke though. More tangy, less sweet, don't like the sweet flavours like vanilla, Dr Pepper is yuk, but then I never liked marzipan.

    I like adding lemon or lime wedges to my diet coke sometimes :kitty:

    off topic slightly but why does diet coke taste so much better from a can than a bottle?

    Never noticed the difference, Now a glass bottle is the best, I remember as a child getting the 10p money back glass bottles of Coke, more fiz and more taste or something

    Lots of drinks taste better depending on what they are in. I am fairly convinced beer tastes better in a bottle than a can.

    I love Cherry Coke. I used to love the citrus coke too but they only do that for diet coke now, and I hate diet coke!

    It's forever associated with a transvestite called Lola for me.

    It's not popular because it tastes like a tramps midnight piss

    You'd be surprised. Since tramps moved away from meths their midnight piss has a far more refreshing tang to it.

    It is popular though otherwise it wouldn't still be on sale.

    So you can't really single out Cherry Coke as being expensive then. They all are.
