Nicest drink I've ever tasted, bar none.

Would love to see it back.

unknown13 · 08-01-2011 2:54pm

Hell Yeah. Nicest Coke around.

highlandseoghan · 08-01-2011 3:00pm

Kells... · 08-01-2011 3:02pm

Best drink ever.

newballsplease · 08-01-2011 3:02pm

Creamy Goodness · 08-01-2011 3:02pm

had it when in america, not a patch on regular coke or mountain dew for that fact.

Ardennes1944 · 08-01-2011 3:04pm

I'd love to see Vanilla Coke back, Cherry Coke back (Although you can get it in some Polish shops and Boots occassionally), 2 litre bottles of Dr Pepper too, and all the additional Fanta flavours they don't sell here.

I want to see diet coke with lime back!
That stuff was massive

Leeg17 · 12-01-2011 9:05pm

Diet coke with lime was the shizz. Doesn't compare to Vanilla Coke.

I'd give a kidney for a bottle :pac::D

Hmmm, the poll results seem to indicate that vanilla coke is equally loved and loathed. I'd say the reason Coca Cola don't sell vanilla coke in Ireland now is because they know that if they did sell it, people who like it would just drink it in place of the normal coke that they already drink at present ie. they wouldn't make that much extra profit out of it. I'd defo buy it in place of regular coke though.

munchkin_utd · 12-01-2011 11:53pm

vanilla coke is the business.
Still avalilable in germany and its on the shopping list every so often.
(pepsi is often on a deal for 59c for 1.5L so that is the drink of choice when coke costs roughly double that)

Cherry coke though is like near everything else with cherry flavour, horrible.
Strangely glacee cherries are quite platable!!

So I say bring back vanilla coke for the irish masses!!!

travelsarah · 13-01-2011 1:51am

Please no...

smallgarden · 13-01-2011 12:43pm

dont think i ever tried vanilla coke but i did like vanilla vodka with coke

MandyM · 13-01-2011 1:02pm

I LOVE Vanilla Coke! I recently found some at The Gourmet Bank, but I was very disappointed to find that it tasted nothing like the Vanilla Coke in South Africa

I've know that drinks can taste quite different in each country, but never thought it would be that drastic.

Btw. Vanilla Coke & Malibu!!!!!!!

Lornen · 18-01-2011 5:44pm

My mum was obsessed with it. I remember we'd have crates of it in the house.. Mental.

The Diet Coke with Lime is still available up North. They have it in Asda. Not sure about the Vanilla coke though. I think they discontinued that in England aswell.

angeldelight · 26-01-2011 4:22am

Yuk, hate the stuff! Cherry coke however is lovely. And I don't like diet coke but liked the dc and lime version

Tar.Aldarion · 26-01-2011 4:23am

I make my own now, but it doesn't compare haha.

Diet coke with lime was the shizz. Don't know why they ever discontinued it.

I-Shot-Jr · 26-01-2011 4:33pm

Oh Jesus christ, I feel like a heroine addict who kicked his habit and now had unbearable cravings for a fix.

What I'd give for vanilla coke, I'd love anyone long time, sucky sucky 5 dolla.

mikemac · 26-01-2011 4:34pm

Drink of the gods!

Loved the stuff, not seen it since 2004 though

And yes, we need Diet Coke with Lime back too

Kintarō Hattori · 26-01-2011 4:36pm

I'd love to see Vanilla Coke back on sale. It was delicous.

rubadub · 01-02-2011 10:16pm

You could just put a pod in a bottle, or some extract (not essence!)

like this
046%5C0025638710046%5CIDShot_225x225.jpg

it is 6.70 in tesco, but not the fake essence.

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

Ordinary Coca-Cola already contains small amounts of vanilla. The history of adding additional vanilla flavoring to Coca-Cola, at least in the US, dates back at least to the 1940s when local soda fountain workers (soda jerks) would upon request add a "shot" (roughly a couple of tablespoons) of vanilla syrup to a (12-16 oz) Coca-Cola fountain soda. This remained common practice in ice cream shops where vanilla syrup and Coca-Cola were both common items for decades. The Coca-Cola Company first tested a Coca-Cola blend with extra vanilla flavoring at the 1982 World's Fair in Knoxville, Tennessee

Seems coke were using the fake stuff in vanilla coke.

mandyarms · 05-02-2011 4:07pm

I don't like it:O

18-02-2011 10:15am

I have a box of 24 cans of Coca Cola Vanilla (renamed in US).
You can get it from americansoda.co.uk
Tastes as good as it used to.

Slunk · 18-02-2011 10:18am

When i got to oz and seen it i had to buy it. After a few cans the novelty has worn off. Its not that nice.

celticbest · 18-02-2011 10:23am

100% on bringing back Vanilla Coke, they should also bring back Cherry coke as it is far nicer then Dr. Pepper.

I never drink Regular Coke I only drink Pepsi normally but when Coke had the flavours I used to buy them on a regular basis......C'mon Coke bring back the Flavour's in Ireland.
