It's not Vanilla coke but I miss Pepsi Blue...ah, nostalgia!

Super-Rush

First petrol station on the left in Blessington as you come from Dublin(Maxol i think) has VC and Canada Dry.

O'Brien's Sweet Shop in Sligo (on Grattan St) sell vanilla coke sometimes too. I always wonder why they took it off the market; it's so awesome!!

Yes. It was Maxol. Found it there on holiday in June.
But they charged me 1.50 a can for it.
Worth it though!

The Candy Store in Newbridge (Kildare) across from lifestyle sell it

Coca-Cola plans to relaunch Vanilla Coke in U.K.

http://www.brandchannel.com/home/post/2013/02/11/Brand-News-021113.aspx

Coca-Cola initially stated that it had no plans to return Coca-Cola Vanilla to the United Kingdom despite high demand. Several enquiries were made throughout 2011 and 2012. Coca Cola then thought about returning Vanilla Coca-Cola to the United Kingdom sooner or later. They eventually announced that they would definitely bring the beverage back to the United Kingdom in the future, some time soon, which was predicted mid-2012, or early-2013. Coca Cola announced that the vanilla flavor would be for sale in the UK from 25 February 2013.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coca-Cola_Vanilla

In the end of 2012, Coca Cola also announced that Vanilla Coca Cola will be available in the United Kingdom in 2013 with the same packaging as from 2002-2006, when it was available.

To quote a famous song:

I just hope it's the same recipe they had over here and not the frankly rubbish American one.

Jaafa

Nice one, finally I can get the real stuff, instead of the American version which isn't nearly as nice.

ITS_A_BADGER

Talk about a blast from my childhood!, cant wait to taste it again

barney 20v

Nice to see all my hard work is appreciated by ye all!

Canard

What time do they close?

I think some of you may have missed this post.

wolfpawnat

The Spar in Cherrywood Ind Park has it, though it sells out quickly........... I swear I had nothing to do with that buying about 5-10 of them

Canard

There are places in Dublin that sell it but it's never cheap. Though apparently it's already back! I must go check asap.

tim3000

While we are on the topic anyone know where you can get Club Apple???

IceFjoem

Yes, I have seen it available in Centra on Westland Row in Dublin. But be warned, there is a homeless man that awaits you upon entry, with powers of verbal abuse that are unsettling in the extreme. Do not buy his drawings.

Haven't missed it, just didn't get excited as it's almost certainly the American blend which is nowhere near as nice as the blend that used to be out here. I think someone said that a different type of sugar was used here.

Hande hoche!

I regret greatly giving up cola for lent.

Canard

Outside the centra on Westland row atm...
It was a lie!

In the states they use high-fructose corn syrup as the tax on real sugar is too high.

Newaglish

They're selling it at the moment in Morton's behind the Odeon on Harcourt Street (in Dublin!)

To my amazement, I saw it in Ronan's Deli in Rathfarnham yesterday. The great thing is that it tasted exactly like my homemade vanilla coke using the little bottle of vanilla extract

Most Penneys stores stock it at the regiesters. It's a poor subsitute though...:(

wp_rathead

Was on sale in Mace on Forster Street in Galway last week in cans- not sure if still there.. my god was as good as I remembered *drools*

Canard

My friends got me a 12 box of it as a birthday present the other week, ugh, I am in heaven. If any of you have birthdays coming up, start dropping hints.

Seanieke

They stock it in the Garden Pavillions in Powerscourt, Enniskerry

TheStook

Sweet Quarters in Naas has it, nasty stuff though, Cherry Cola is where its at

3 cherry for 1.49 in dealz

Kintarō Hattori

I must give a more concerted effort to look for it in the immediate city centre.

Spar on Talbot Street - It wasn't there, at least on Tuesday 27/02.

SicklySweet

Cork - Wilton Shopping Center, the sweet shop around the GameStop (either next to it or a few doors down) selling 12pk of Vanilla cola for 16.95.

Damn right son, although since they brought it down to 3 cans, you're better off buying the 1.25tr bottle of cherry cola, if your Dealz stocks them.

Alright, I checked the following today and no luck

Tuthills just off of Dawson Street
Londis on Grafton Street
The Asian run newsagent on Grafton Street
Bus Stop Newsagents beside St. Stephen's Green
The other Londis inbetween Grafton Street and Dawson Street

None of them had it. Tuthills had a can of the American stuff

I imagine stock will be hard to come by in the next few weeks at least.

Canard

Centra just off Grafton Street!! 1.20 a can, not too bad considering it's 1.70 in candy lab, absolute rip off. Didn't buy it because it was actually my friend who sent me the picture (I have a reputation for the stuff by now :P) and I have some at home (birthday present from other friends, also due to the reputation :pac:), but hopefully someone will enjoy it.

Superbus

I got that today (Suffolk St Centra) but it was the American nonsense, which I have come to loathe.

Canard

I wonder why they're all getting American ones if it was supposedly re-released here? I don't remember what it was like over here before, only tried it once or twice and in my naivety didn't like it, but I do love the American one.
