Didn't it fail immensely last time?

Well it was the fastest selling new Coke brand in history but I think sales dropped off after a few years, it was the lowest selling variety of coke in 2005 (behind regular/diet/cherry) and so they decided to axe it in 2006 in order to bring in Zero without increasing the amount of varieties.

And to think that a cousin of mine, who is a marketing executive at Coca Cola, could have had a hand in this...

Yes I know, capitalist pig and everything. It's in that part of the family. You should see his Paris condo. And his girlfriend.

Though they should have renamed it

I'm still waiting for TAB Clear to come back.

Yay! No more going to Germany and bringing 40 bottles back!

Dunno why, besides Coke and Diet Coke any other variation of Coke just seems to die off within a few months.

Nope, was just clear coke. Even in America it didn't take off, lasted 2 yeas, 92-94 (doesn't seem that long ago the ads were on tv).

lack of sales, most people buy new varieties to try out of curiosity, but dont go back

myself, I'm a sucker for things with NEW or LIMITED EDITION on the packaging......

I need me some Panda Pops.

I tried coke vanilla zero from an import website. It was ok, but I wouldn't drink it on a regular basis.

crusa · 15 Mar 2013 at 13:31

I've never tried coke vanilla, i'm intrigued.

Diagro · 15 Mar 2013 at 13:41

Im just happy they introduced Cherry Coke Zero... tastes much the same as the normal so i can now stop drinking tons of sugar a day.

Thanks Cocacola!

I don't drink fizzy pop. I like my teeth too much.

It's nothing special.

It's been in our local Morrisons for about a week now, only available in 1.5l bottles though!

Frxn · 15 Mar 2013 at 14:03

Vanilla Coke is still available in Australia

I've tried some of the US version (import) and imo it's not as nice as the Aussie one, but not far off. Haven't tried the UK one but I'm happy it's coming back.
