Has anyone else tried the Vanilla diet coke. I love the stuff, could easily become addicted to it, so limit myself to no more than one a day. Guess it is better to be addicted to diet coke than to the powdery stuff that goes up the nose.

I am not overly keen on the vanilla coke, I like Sprite myself only 45 grams of carbs per can "but no caffine" so that makes it O.K.
DR Pepper makes me belch like the fog horn at lands-end lighthouse.

alabama_bound is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Only 1 choice

The only coke worth drinking is Cherry coke...or as it's now called "coca cola cherry"

And not the diet version that i tried in the late 80's in florida....just good ole proper cherry coke!!!

I prefer it to regular coke as it has a more refreshing flavor, though I don't drink much soda, except that I have an individual bottle with my lunch, and then it's usually root beer or Dr Pepper.

Cherry coke, puke. I put myself on a withdrawal diet from diet coke, didn't have any sodas for 2 weeks. Then I had two vanilla cokes in one day, boy did I get a buzz from all the good things it contained.

Yeah, think of all that Aspartame building up malignant tumors in our bodies in 10 years time!

I like diet Vanilla Coke, it's my main drink of choice actually, but only because nowhere sells diet Cherry Coke around here

I like vanilla coke (diet of course) with a dollop of ice-cream in it

I'd say thats gross, but I used to drink milk and coke! Seriously though, Ice cream sodas can actually be really tasty, esp strawberry.

Going off-topic and speaking of ice-cream, during the blackout, I killed two birds with one stone by mixing the rest of the ice-cream that we had in the freezer, and which was about to melt, with the rest of the jello we had left in the fridge.

Sheer bliss to eat a childhood fave by candlelight My wife was totally revulsed though
