    They did a big launch for Aquarius about 18 months ago, then it disappeared without a trace. I enjoyed my many free bottles I was given around Stephens Green though.

    Cherry Coke is pretty easy to find, most Boots do it, and other shops that source their drinks from the UK. Dunno why people are comparing Vanilla Coke and Dr Pepper, it's more like Cherry.

    Hopefully Vanilla Coke will be back, I've tried adding vanilla essence and it's not quite the same, Coke + Absolut Vanilla is great though, but not ideal for lunchtime!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 345 ✭✭Randy Shafter


    Vanilla coke was delicious! When you opened the can, the first sip was always the nicest. :)

    rang them this morning:

    'We cannot confirm nor deny that Vanilla Coke will be reintroduced into Ireland.'

    Teasers!! I wonder if they'll conjur up the viral marketing just like Cadburys did with Wispa :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users Posts: 159 ✭✭Rayven199


    Ah Vanilla coke, love the stuff!! Was in America in May and they have it there, I was delighted! Cant find it here though, would love if the shops started selling it again!!

    Bit of Captain Morgan's mixed with coke tastes exactly like vanilla coke, plus it gets you drunk. It's win win.

    A guy I know who was drinking that said the same! I kissed him to check if it was true.

    So yes, it does get you laid... well, somewhat ;)

    I wonder how they determine whether or not there's a demand for the product.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,301 ✭✭✭blue-army


    we are constantly monitoring consumer preferences and should we see a consumer demand for this product, we will then consider the matter.

    So if everyone on here sent a similar e-mail they'd probably bring it back...

    There's only one way to find out...
    :cool:

    Captain Morgan and coke tastes pretty much like vanilla-ish coke, except with the added benifits.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,526 ✭✭✭brendansmith


    They sell taht every where


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,965 ✭✭✭✭Gavin "shels"


    Since there's no plans to stock it here yet, major import of it ourselves? :D I'm so dieing for a bottle.:(

    We should all email them. Maybe it'll make a difference, maybe it won't but it has to be worth a shot. Can someone draft up an email and we'll copy and paste the thing to Coke.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,456 ✭✭✭kida


    add some vanilla pods (or even vanilla esence) to coke -problem solved :pac:

    Adding vanilla essence helps somewhat, but it just isn't the same. It does make it as equally addictive as Vanilla Coke, however.

    I've only tried one brand of vanilla flavouring, though. I'll try a few more.


  • Registered Users Posts: 342 ✭✭SuperDude87


    Might just buy some coz I can!

    They better bring it back. I want it. I want it now.:(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,080 ✭✭✭McChubbin


    I'm gonna hunt for some Vanilla coke in Boots this week.
    If what you say is true, I shall cry with glee.

    Recipe for Vanilla Coke.

    Regular Coke.
    Captain Morgans Spiced Rum.

    Voila, vanilla coke that will get you drunk! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 424 ✭✭beauty101


    I don't know if somebody's already said this but anyhoo...

    Captain America's do a cocktail called the Vanilla Coke + it's amazing!

    Agreed. Tis. Makes for a handy bottle for putting coke into from a 2 litre for easy portability though.


  • Registered Users Posts: 929 ✭✭✭TheCardHolder


    Coke and Vanilla schnapps tastes even nicer and is priced at 3euro in Captain Americas!

    When Smirnoff had their Vanilla Vodka on sale for awhile, you could just mix that with Coke - as another poster said Morgan's Spiced works too...


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,150 ✭✭✭LivingDeadGirl


    I had forgotten all about it, and now I REALLY want it!! :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,483 ✭✭✭Ostrom


    Could you just drop some vanilla essence into regular coke or would that be rotten?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,859 ✭✭✭✭Sharpshooter


    Diet Coke FTW!

    And yes efla, that would be rotten. :eek:

    Further evidence needed! I cant remember if ice cream floats (aside from being stink anyway) make the coke any more vanilla-ish? There must be some way to balance out the sharpness of vanilla essence though...


  • Registered Users Posts: 929 ✭✭✭TheCardHolder


    Just back from Spain and bought a litre of Absoulete Vanilla vodka. Drank it all night last night mixed with coke :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,818 ✭✭✭donvito99


    Where can I find this elixir of goodness? Oh how I have missed living over these years!

    me to lazy to search thread...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12 g.whizz


    anyone spot it lately?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    Smirnoff vanilla vodka mixed with coke. Tastes like vanilla Coke and gets you nice and drunk.

    Would prefer it without the extra kick but beggars can't be choosers.

    Captain's Spiced + Coke tastes exactly like Vanilla Coke.

    If you're stuck, you can get cans of 'Captain 'n' Cola', but this is not Coke, but rather some other-brand Cola (and of course Coke > everything else)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,399 ✭✭✭Bonito


    Yawn. Scanlons Texaco garage Balbriggan = Vanilla Coke, All Tango flavours, cherry coke, cherry 7up, Vimto both fizzy and non-fizzy in either can or bottle.

    Londis Balbriggan = Diet Coke with lime, Pepsi twist etc

    Hope that helps.
