Vanilla Coke

newest soft drink) @ Food Town
(Louetta @ Stuebner-Airline, across from H-E-B Pantry Foods &
catty-corner from Klein High School).
Anyway, after allowing it to get good & cold in the refrigerator
overnight, I finally gave it a try this afternoon:
it tastes almost like a Coke Float, but obviously without the messy
Vanilla Ice Cream (although I must admit
that I can hardly taste the Vanilla flavoring in Vanilla Coke at times,
for reasons unknown).
All in all, a pretty good soft drink; it's something that I'll
definitely try again. Right now, however, I'm waiting for
Pepsi to come out with its' newest soft drink, Pepsi Blue (a
blue-colored, berry flavored doft drink) later this summer.
FWIW,

I'm a die-hard Diet Coke guzzler. I tried the new Lemon Diet Coke and
it was awful, but the equivalent product Diet Pepsi Twist is pretty
good.

I tried a Vanilla Coke Thursday, bought out of a machine in a 20-oz. bottle,
reasonably cold. I'm a surprised by you saying you could hardly taste the
vanilla - I could hardly taste the Coke. I thought it tasted like an old
vanilla cream soda (though I haven't had one of those in years). I drank it
straight from the bottle, and thought it might be better over ice and
slightly diluted - the vanilla was just too strong for my taste.

I hadn't heard of Pepsi Blue - I'm waiting for the new Dr. Pepper drink.

Vanilla, but a Vanilla Coke isn't a bad substitute if you ask me! Not bad at
all.

I don't know what's up with these "flavored" soft drinks, but there's
nothing worse on God's Green Earth than "Pepsi Twist".

That new Lemon Coke is awful !!!!!!!!!!!!! It tastes like Coke with
Lemon Pledge furniture polish..seriously, it even has a
greasy,wax-polish type taste. Yuck.

There was an article about these new flavored soft drinks (Vaniila Coke, Pepsi
Blue, & Dr. Pepper's Red Fusion)in the Chronicle's Business section here
recently (about a week or two ago, I believe).

I thought it was okay, but I agree, after you taste more of it the vanilla
flavoring is hardly there anymore. I really like my vanilla cherry cokes
from Sonic :)

I used to get the same at Simpsons (*sniffle*) and then
at 59 diner. But I had to cut back on the syrup, I'd
always end up with a tummyache. So lately I've just been
getting vanilla cokes.
And I just tried the new Vanilla Coke today and so far
I like it. It doesn't seem to have as overpowering a
taste as Cherry Coke, but that may be due more to
vanilla just being a more mild flavor than cherry to
begin with.

Tookies. It's a great burger joint on 146 before the bridge in Seabrook.

basilic
and vanilla for my taste. I've actually gotten hooked on Mountain Deu
RED. It's cherry soda with lots of caffeine. I normally don't like
oversweet sodas and this seems less sweet to me.

I, my wife, and a co-worker (not a cow orker) think Lemon Diet Coke is
great! No accounting for taste, I guess.

I did not think it was that good. It reminded me of the Coke they tried on
the public back in the mid-1980s.

front-end supervisor was on the intercom - "Come one, come all - try the New
Vanilla Coke!" I just burst out laughing - "new"? Please.
I got my stuff, went to the front and put everything on the little "express"
checkout conveyer belt. The guy comes by and asks if I want to try a New
Vanilla Coke and ask him what's the difference between the Vanilla (or
chocolate, or Strawberry, etc) cokes I've been drinking for 30 years?
Curious because I figured this guy is making some sort of comission off the
sales of the 20 oz bottles, I bought one. Wasn't "nasty", but wasn't
"pleasant" or "refreshing" either. Drank part of it, and just chucked the
rest. I'd rather have Mr. Pibb, or Dr. Pepper - don't drink alot of Coca
Cola anyways.

What you called garbage cokes we called suicide cokes! (Kinda the same

In the 1950's, growing up in Shoreacres, the closest soda fountain was
at the corner drugstore in LaPorte. We called it a "shipwreck" when
it had all flavors of syrup in it.

Strange!!! I just got this e-mailed press release from the PR guy for
Avalon Diner. They aren't clients of mine... he's not a client of
mine... but it relates perfectly to the thread:
"Teaching kids to be perfect jerks
Avalon Diners renewing/expanding soda jerk classes
For any child 5-15 whose current life aspiration is to make the
perfect old fashion ice cream soda, root beer float or creamy
milkshake, all three Avalon Diner locations are now ready to make some
soda fountain dreams come true.
Long popular during summer and fall at Avalon 2 on the Southwest
Freeway, the soda jerk classes are not only kicking off beginning June
3, they are now being offered at the original Avalon on Westheimer and
at Avalon 3 in The Fountains in Stafford.
Arranged by reservation, aa certified soda jerk will lead classes
behind the fountain on making some of the diner's favorite soda
treats. Classes run from 6:30-8 p.m. Mondays-Thursdays and include a
full meal from the children's menu. The cost - including class, the
meal, drink and dessert - is just $10 per student. Classes are limited
to 10 people. Just call ahead and make reservations.
The art of being a soda jerk is truly an American one which not only
includes making ideal ice cream concoctions but speaking the language
as well. Students will get into this hands on learning experience by
wearing the soda jerk hat and learning a few of the terms only another
soda jerk would understand. Best of all, each student gets to have his
or her just desserts at the end of the session.
The original Avalon Drug, which contained soda fountain and diner,
opened in 1938 at Kirby and Westheimer and quickly became a popular
breakfast and lunch spot for residents of River Oaks. In 1992 the
diner portion was purchased by Bambi Lynn and Coy Ramsey who own three
diners today. Avalon 2 opened late in 1998, 60 years after the
original diner opened. Avalon Diner 3 opened a year later in The
Fountains in Stafford. The Diners still maintains active accounts
(people sign for their meals and pay monthly) that go back nearly 50
years.
All children must be accompanied by an adult. Pre-registration is
necessary, but students, all aged 5-15, are accepted on a first-come,
first-enrolled basis. Groups are welcome.
For more information, call 713-838-2500."

was a sno-cone with all flavors.

In my experience, so far, there seems to be a wide variation in the strength
of the vanilla -- my first one, from Auchan on the Tollway, was almost
indistinguishable from plain old Coke, but others since then have ranged from
just as weak to (from the Stop N Rob at Bellaire and Fondren) paint-remover.
The best one yet's been from the Kroger on Memorial, near Stratford HS.
Something tells me Coke didn't quite get the quality controls straight before
launching, but I hope they get the bugs worked out -- the medium-strength ones
are definitely worth it.

Bet the weak ones spent a week or two as 'dock displays', i.e. out front in
the hot sun.

That's possible -- the cold ones -have- been stronger when it comes to the
vanilla, and my first one was miles from a cooler at Auchan...
