Title: Coke Blak? Post by: pilferk on March 13, 2006, 03:11:36 PM Anyone had it?
I know it's not set to "debut" in the states til April 3rd, but anyone abroad (where, I guess, it might've come out in early Feb??) had it? Is coffee infused coke as dreadful as it sounds? Title: Re: Coke Blak? Post by: WARose on March 13, 2006, 03:16:43 PM Quote The new drink, a combination of Coca-Cola Classic and coffee extracts, will be first launched in France in January before being rolled out in the United States and other markets during 2006. A Coke spokesperson said Coca-Cola Blak will be a mid-calorie drink, similar to Coca-Cola C2, which was launched in April 2004 and contains half the sugar, calories and carbohydrates of regular colas. The formula for the new beverage is expected to vary based on local tastes. Analysts have said one of the keys to the company's future is capturing more consumers who have moved away from sugary soft drinks to diet versions, or to healthier low- or no-calorie beverages. never heard of it though..... i guess it isn`t out in germany as of yet... Title: Re: Coke Blak? Post by: Mal Brossard on March 13, 2006, 03:17:03 PM Pepsi apparently had a similar drink a few years ago available in a few markets. Never saw or tried it though, only heard about it on a page dedicated to soft drinks once made that now cannot be found.
I'll try this stuff out if I see it. I'm not expecting much out of it though. Title: Re: Coke Blak? Post by: pilferk on March 13, 2006, 03:20:54 PM We saw a commercial for it last night (hence, my obsession with it today in the Axl silver case and nyc threads).
Sounds pretty ghastly. If I want cold coffee, I'll buy iced coffee.? If I want coke, I'll buy coke.? If I want things that taste like shit....I'll buy diet coke or, worse yet, holiday spice pepsi. :) Title: Re: Coke Blak?

If I want things that taste like shit....I'll buy diet coke or, worse yet, holiday spice pepsi. :) That spiced pepsi is one of the worst pops I've ever had, though by the sound of things Coke Black may give it a run for its money ... sounds fucking awful ... Title: Re: Coke Blak? Post by: R4tfink on March 13, 2006, 06:36:06 PM The Cappacino Pepsi has just been launched here in the UK. Like Pilf though, i will not be trying it for the exact reasons he gave.
Title: Re: Coke Blak? Post by: Jim on March 13, 2006, 06:39:04 PM Personally I like to drink Diet, Caffeine Free Coca-Cola. :)
(Seriously, I've seen that stuff bought. Who drinks that stuff! It's just black water, surely.) Title: Re: Coke Blak?

(...Err. I don't know what that was supposed to mean either) Title: Re: Coke Blak? Post by: Genesis on March 13, 2006, 10:48:09 PM The Cappacino Pepsi has just been launched here in the UK. That tastes like cough syrup. :P Title: Re: Coke Blak? Post by: C0ma on March 13, 2006, 11:01:58 PM This ought to be about as popular as Crystal Pepsi.
Title: Re: Coke Blak? Post by: axelle rose on March 14, 2006, 05:38:36 AM We got it in belgium already but i didn't taste it yet. Looks good , nice can. haha... thats what i always do , look at the packaging first and if i like that, than i buy.
Title: Re: Coke Blak? Post by: Where is Hassan Nasrallah ? on March 14, 2006, 05:46:28 AM i drank some coke blak 2 days ago
the bottle is kinda cool, but it tastes like .... coffee ice cream, wich i dont like. wierd. Title: Re: Coke Blak? Post by: metallex78 on March 14, 2006, 07:58:46 AM I'm guessing this Coke Black you are talking about is this new Coke Zero (it too has a black label) which is being sold here in Australia?
I've tried it and I actually like it. It tastes a hell of a lot better than Diet Coke, that's for sure, and now if I drink normal Coke it tastes like I'm drinking a can of sugar... :yes: Title: Re: Coke Blak? Post by: badapple81 on March 14, 2006, 08:05:39 AM Nah Coke Zero is also available overseas. I'll find out tomorrow at work as we get daily updates via email on what's happening with Coke all over the world.

We have that too. It does taste batter than Diet Coke (which ain't saying much, IMHO)....but, then again, if I remember correctly it uses aspartame, which might be a very bad thing. ?Some studies show aspartame can be linked to brain tumors, brain lesions, and lymphoma. ?Yikes!

Some studies show aspartame can be linked to brain tumors, brain lesions, and lymphoma. Yikes! All artificial sweeteners are connected to some really fucked up health problems (saccharin-- cancer... aspartame-- brain problems, lymphoma, depression... splenda-- depression), as is high-fructose corn syrup (obesity). Best to stick to real sugar over these weird things. That's why I prefer my Coke imported from overseas. I believe only the United States uses HFCS to sweeten drinks. Mexico still uses real sugar in Coke, as does original recipe Dr. Pepper, both of which can be found here in Texas. Additionally, HFCS leaves an aftertaste that sugar doesn't. Anyways, I'll give that Coke Black a try if I see it anytime soon around here. April 3, eh? Title: Re: Coke Blak?

That's what the count down clock on the above site would seem to indicate, too. Title: Re: Coke Blak? Post by: nycangel on March 14, 2006, 01:25:34 PM there is something called a manhattan. which is coffee in soda. im betting its almost the same exact thing. and if this was posted already im sorry i didnt read every post on this thread
Title: Re: Coke Blak? Post by: Elrothiel on March 14, 2006, 06:31:03 PM The Cappacino Pepsi has just been launched here in the UK. Like Pilf though, i will not be trying it for the exact reasons he gave. I've tried it, and its disgusting. I had one sip and nearly lost my dinner. :puke: I will certainly not be trying this "Coke Black". It just sounds as if Coke are copying Pepsi by doing a coffee flavored version. And so far, Pepsi has always tasted better than Coke. So if I don't like Cappucino Pepsi, I am MOST CERTAINLY not going to like Coke Black. Title: Re: Coke Blak?

Title: Re: Coke Blak? Post by: mikegiuliana on March 16, 2006, 10:02:55 AM is this like Jolt?? i think they are trying to cash in on the new red bull type craze going on ou tthere..
Title: Re: Coke Blak? Post by: Backslash on March 16, 2006, 10:13:00 AM It will never beat Vanilla Coke, ever!
Title: Re: Coke Blak? Post by: Jim on March 16, 2006, 12:03:10 PM Cherry Coke kicked Vanilla Cokes ass all the around the...store that sold coke.
Title: Re: Coke Blak? Post by: Elrothiel on March 16, 2006, 01:12:24 PM What!!? Cherry Coke was disgusting!!! Vanilla Coke was alright actually...
But maybe that's just me hating cherries in general... bleugh! :puke: Title: Re: Coke Blak? Post by: Backslash on March 16, 2006, 02:43:09 PM People talk about vanilla coke like it's in the past? we still have it here! ;D
Title: Re: Coke Blak? Post by: pilferk on March 20, 2006, 10:27:48 AM People talk about vanilla coke like it's in the past? we still have it here!? ;D Heh heh...Now, the US has "Black Cherry Vanilla Coke". :) Title: Re: Coke Blak? Post by: Elrothiel on March 20, 2006, 12:14:07 PM Black Cherry Vanilla Coke?
Oh. Dear. Next it'll be Black Cherry Cappuccino Vanilla Strawberry Ice-cream Soda Coke... or something equally ridiculous! :rofl: Title: Re: Coke Blak? Post by: Backslash on March 20, 2006, 12:15:33 PM stick "Diet" in front of all that, and I'd lose it. haha
Title: Re: Coke Blak? Post by: Elrothiel on March 20, 2006, 12:19:34 PM Nonono! Stick "Diet Caffienne-free" in front of all that and THEN I'd go mad!! :rofl:
Title: Re: Coke Blak? Post by: Backslash on March 20, 2006, 12:20:32 PM Nonono! Stick "Diet Caffienne-free" in front of all that and THEN I'd go mad!! :rofl: And we could add "Sweetened with sucralose" to top it off... Title: Re: Coke Blak? Post by: Elrothiel on March 20, 2006, 12:23:34 PM And then a "No Added Sugar" sticker... AND a FREE "King Size" can whenever you buy a normal sized can!
::) Fuckin' commercialism!! :hihi: Title: Re: Coke Blak? Post by: Backslash on March 20, 2006, 12:26:13 PM they make King Size cans?? you Brits and your ridiculous inventions... :P
Title: Re: Coke Blak? Post by: Elrothiel on March 20, 2006, 12:44:40 PM Nah, they don't make King Size cans... I just made that up. I was thinking of chocolate bars! :rofl:
Title: Re: Coke Blak? Post by: Backslash on March 20, 2006, 12:49:11 PM chocolate bars and sugar free Coke! sounds like a smart ass promotion!
Title: Re: Coke Blak? Post by: Elrothiel on March 20, 2006, 12:53:01 PM :rofl: Hmm.... you could be onto something there!! OMG!! WE COULD BE BILLIONAIRES!!!
:lmao: Title: Re: Coke Blak? Post by: pilferk on March 20, 2006, 01:03:34 PM stick "Diet" in front of all that, and I'd lose it. haha Lose away. http://www.dietcoke.com/index.jsp I haven't personally seen it yet, but "it's out there". The BCV Coke is actually not bad..tastes like Cherry Coke and Vanilla Coke mixed in relatively equal amounts. Title: Re: Coke Blak? Post by: Backslash on March 20, 2006, 02:46:00 PM man, Coke is getting ridiculous... :rofl:
Title: Re: Coke Blak? Post by: Elrothiel on March 20, 2006, 02:59:10 PM Coke sucks. Pepsi is where the money is! :peace:
Title: Re: Coke Blak? Post by: badapple81 on March 21, 2006, 06:53:45 AM Coke rules. You buying it pays my salary :D
Title: Re: Coke Blak? Post by: Where is Hassan Nasrallah ? on March 21, 2006, 11:40:38 AM Coke rules. You buying it pays my salary :D what do you do there ? Title: Re: Coke Blak? Post by: Pandora on March 22, 2006, 06:24:49 AM I tried Coke Blak yesterday and liked it a lot. I thought the scent and the flavour of Coke and coffee were equally powerful. Really really well-balanced. Overall, I wouldn't say it equals regular Coke, but it comes pretty damn close : ok:
