BLaH !. Review on Diet Vanilla Coke

I want you to know that I don't believe any Soda Pop is healthy for any one to drink. If you drink it occasionally then it's better to drink the real Pop and not the diet one.

I didn't even know that DIET VANILLA COKE was a topic on MouthShut until I read Gowser's review.

As it happens I went shopping the other day and by mistake I bought this by mistake.

~O THE CAN O~

You can buy any type of Coca Cola in a 12 can box and not a bottle because I can taste the plastic in the bottle.

The can is easy to recognize as it is a bright red colour with a white written logo that spells out Diet Vanilla Coca Cola.

It is easy to open with the pull back tab.

When I open the can I can smell vanilla. The first sip I took tasted like a Vanilla Coke but the aftertaste was sickly sweet.

When I finished the glass I found that it did not quench my thirst so I went and had a glass of ice cold water.

~O THE POUR O~

I always drink Coke over a lot of ice. When I pour the Coke into a glass there is a lot of foam.

To stop the foam from running over the glass I put one finger on top of the glass and the foam begins to go down. Please don’t drink it until all the foam has gone because if you don’t you’ll get a lot of gas.

~O The Formula O~

’’Vanilla extract, water, artificial sweeteners, cola extract, citric acid, caffeine citrate and lime juice.’’

I’m sure there is more but that is all I could see on the can and most Companies like to keep their ingredients a secret.

~O WARING O~

This product contains artifical sweetners which is not healthy. It also has caffeine and that is highly addictive.

~o SOME THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW O~

In one 12 ounce can:

’’There is no fat, protein or calories. There is 0.50 grams of carbs, 55 mg. of sodium and 50 grams of sugar.’’

~O THE COMPANY, (from their information) O~

’’The drink began in a Candy Store that was owned by Joseph A. Biedenharn. The Store was in Vicksburg, Mississippi. He just wanted to make a drink to sell to his customers. The first drinks that were bottled in something called a ’’Hutchinson’’.

The drink was an instant hit and Mr. Biedenharn sent a case to Asa Griggs Candler who was the owner of the Coca Cola Company’’. The rest of the Story I am sure you know.

Today the Company is base in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A. At their Company there they have built The World of Coca-Cola. This is one of Atlanta’s Tourist Attractions’’.

~O THE COMPANY MAKES MANY OTHER TYPE OF THINGS O~

I could not believe it when I read, (from their page):

’’They make 230 brands of nonalcoholic beverage and the formula is different in other areas of the World. They say they make Coke with Apricots, Coffee and Lychee Nuts’.’’ I would love to try those!

I did know that Coke is sold around the World as I have bottles from Israel, Hong Kong and Greece. I also know that they make soft drinks, fruit juices, bottled waters and sports drinks that are available to us in Canada. I have tried Coke with Cherries, Orange, Lemon and the new Vanilla flavour. I enjoyed them as well and I do drink them just for a change. I always go back to the Original Coca-Cola.

The COMPANY also makes a lot of different collectable. I have a few trays and my Husband has a few Base Ball Caps.

~O THE AD:

The as for Diet Vanilla Coke are testimonials by Celebrities

that begin, ''Reward your curiosity.....''.

~O MY THOUGHTS O~

I did not enjoy Diet Vanilla Coke at all and I don't recommend it.

For 12 cans, (each is 4.26L), we paid $3.00. CAD.

If I want to drink a Vanilla Coke I'll still be drinking the real one.
