Just thought I would let all you Cola fans out there know that they now have 'NEW' Cherry Cola drink here!!!!???

"New?", I ask myself..Isn't this the very same Cherry Cola I drank when I went to school some many years back. Well I rest my case about Oz being behind!!??:scared:

Can you get vanilla coke yet ?? my favourite

HUP

Vanilla coke is gross. I was so annoyed the other day as I picked up a can by mistake and took a hearty swig. Also on a par for grossness is the lemon coke. How synthetic?

janeyray

Yes you can and I love it!!

HUP

Well there you go janeray its not as backward as you thought.

Maybe Coca Cola didn't think the Aussies were ready for the taste of anything Cherry!!! Thats why they waited so long? How long has Vanilla coke been out in the UK?

HUP

A few months now. Are you sure about the newness of cherry over there. They have just rebranded all there cans and put the word new on them

There are a few popular soft drinks that you cant get in aus that you can get here in the uk (obviously ther arent popularthere but they are here) i have a vague recollection of reading somewhere that it is (was) because they contain some ingredient (it could be a sweetner i'm not sure) that is banned in aus.

HUP, i'm with you on the vanilla coke absolutely vile.

I think vanilla coke is lovely, it brings me back to my childhood when we had 'cola floats' coke with a dollop of icecream on top!

EH??

Might be a marketing ploy or somthing. Cherry cokes been over there for ages. Asked the wife, and she can remember it from school too, so they've had it for at least 10 years or so.

Steve Bannister was talking about that banned substance that has just been introduced in to Australia under a different name....

used in soft drinks

HUP

I think its probably asparthame (Spelling ) Some nasty stuff by all accounts

Amazulu

I think it's only used in diet cool drinks.

salonit

Vanilla coke ( diet) is lovely ...............like coke floats!!
I dunno what i am going to do without it in Oz hopefully should be out by the time i get there...having said that lemon coke was out there in Perth last june before it was out here in UK and i thought it was an oz thing until i came back to find it here in uk!!

HUP

Word of warning its in a lot more than you think. Its in a lot of food stuffs and if you check out "full fat" tango some of there flavours have it in to.
