Instant Review: Vanilla Coke
Rid
a pack of 12 cans of Vanilla Coke. Ideally these should have been
provided in glass bottles as God Had Intended Them but I decided to
overlook this trangression as yet another example of the decline of
civilization as we know it.
Opening the can resulted in a satisfyingly audible snap hiss not
unlike a lightsabre only without the flurescence and the continual
humming. Oh teh ability to cut people in half was not so evident
either. Though further experimentation revealed this could be syntha..
sinthe... synthysi... faked with very little effort.
There was a noticeable yet not overpowering bouquet to it that was
rather refreshing. Then to the taste. The crisp edge that was gained
by refrigerating thoughly before use, made a delightful counterpoint
to the increased sweetness level and eliminated a sugary edge that
might have caused a negative taste experience. The vanilla makes an
excellent addition without being overwhelming. Heightened sweetness
but not cloyingly so. I do however offer a warning that unless chilled
correctly the sweetness may be a little too much for some.
Overall the flavour was reminiscent of a Coke float sans icecream.
Obviously by sheer lack of icecream Vanilla Coke will fall behind on
points to that. However for my money an excellent addition to the Coke
family. Future experiments to involve adding icecream to the already
Vanilla Coke.
I shall keep you posted.

But I didn't read the review. I only posted a follow-up 'cause he was
whining on the MOO that nobody followed up to HIS vanilla coke review. I
don't drink coke. And I think vanilla should stay in cookies. Or in my
Rialto vanilla bath gel so that I can get out of the shower smelling like a
cookie.

Well, when I first tasted it, I would have agreed with this
characterisation. But then, as I kept drinking, the flavour
became more and more vague, until it sort of tasted like I
was just drinking flat Coke. But this could very likely be
due to the fact that it was not adequately chilled.

cream?

It's not bad, really. But I think your higher quality cream

I agree with this statement. I started to like it about three-quarters
of the way through the bottle (plastic, damn it), but we have ready
access to Jones' Cream Soda here, which is marketed in good, glass
bottles.
I highly recommend Jones' Cream Soda, BTW. Pick it up if you have the
chance.

This reminds me that I saw "Vanilla Ice" on one of those "Where Are

enormous absolutely rectangular head, the forehead of which is lightly

a goatee that looks as if it was extruded from a Brillo-Pad making
machine.
He scared me!
But at least he's not "singing" anymore.

You know, that may be why Vanilla Coke annoys me. They are taunting me
after having taken out the actual ice cream. DAMN THEM TO HELL!!!
Anyway, I like rootbeer floats even better than coke floats, but I do
not want any A&W marketing guys reading this to get the idea that they
should mix their root beer and cream soda in one bottle/can/whatever God
intended and the recycling people will allow. Give me ice cream or give
me... Hmm, I don't really want to die over it, but dammit, they really
should just give me a float complete with ice cream and all the little
crystally bits that happen when the ice cream and root beer collide at
the right temperatures or whatever. I'll let the science guys explain
how that happens better, if they can.

Vanilla Coke--i.e. Coca-Cola with a splash of /real/ vanilla extract--is
an old soda fountain standby. You can still order the real kind at
Cafe 50s on Santa Monica Blvd in West Los Angeles. Also, it's pretty easy
to make your own.

I have observed that whenever there is a new convenience-store-style
impulse-purchase beverage, you can tell how bad it is by walking along
the road, because you will see lots of partially-full discarded drinks.
When Zima was new, I used to see halves of bottles of Zima. Dunkin' Donuts's
Coolatta drinks are perennially popular with people who like to drink
two-thirds of a cup. And Vanilla Coke... well, I've been seeing an
extraordinary number of "YECCH! I took one sip and already my day is
ruined!" bottles that are 95% full.
My thought was that they were trying hard to make it taste like vanilla
extract, and not vanilla-y. In other words, take a sniff and see if
you get a faceful of alcohol vapor.
I am suspicious that this alleged vanilla flavoring is just an excuse
for them to increase the alcohol content (regular Coke has a fraction
of a percent alcohol, because of the spice extracts in alcohol and the
fruit flavors fermenting.) Vanilla Coke may be one of the highest-
alcohol-content "non-alcoholic" beverages around. I mean, it smells
like paint thinner.
I like cream soda (which tastes like real vanilla around Passover and
like cheap synthetic vanillin the rest of the year) but "Vanilla Coke"
is just plain bad. The Coke flavor doesn't go well with the vanilla.
Coke has a very strong taste, and instead of weakening it so you could
taste the delicate flavor of the vanilla, they added a ton of vanilla
to the Coke, the result being two flavors that fight with each other
for attention rather than a pleasing blend.
I liked the orange-flavored Coke better, because it had less Coke flavor.
About ten years ago, it was called "O.K. Soda" and I determined it was
made according to this precise recipe: 50% Coke, 50% Minute Maid orange
soda (a Coca-Cola product.) It didn't sell well, because it was marketed
to that imaginary generation that will buy anything that says it's not good.
It was around the same time there was the clear, lemon-floor-polish-flavored
Pepsi. (Now, lemon Pepsi has come back but with brown coloring, as
"Pepsi Twist", and there's also a lemon Coke nobody's drinking.
Cherry Coke's been around a while, but not even Max Headroom's
willing to advertise it any more.)
I think what America really wants is a Coke that doesn't taste as bad
as Pepsi, and a Pepsi that doesn't taste as bad as Coke. They're both
like artificial root beer that someone horribly botched, clearly hangovers
from the days when stuff like cloves were mistakenly believed to be candy,
long before candy came in colors.
This fall we're going to get blue Pepsi. That might be good if they
left out all the icky Pepsi flavor and loaded it up with blue razzleberry,
or better yet, if they just never sold it at all.
-- K.
Have the Coke and Pepsi
people ever noticed that
Kool-Aid comes in 93 flavors,
none of them containing cloves?
I don't think orange juice
is available with cloves,
either, unless you get it
by squeezing that moldy
alleged air freshener your
kid made in Scouts by sticking
some cloves in an orange and
hanging it in your closet
until the mold jumped onto
all your clothes.

7-Up with a splash of vanilla was called a "7 & 7" back in the day

Arctic Circle? You worked at an Arctic Circle? Awww! There was an
Arctic Circle around the corner from my grandma's house. If we were
really really good, grandpa would give us some money to go get something
there. There being so many of us, we would have to pool our maney so
that one bought fries, another bought a shake, etc. and we assembled a
meal from there. We never got hamburgers, though. After all, we were
kids, we had money and we were around the corner buying our dinner on
our own. Ahh, memories! You haven't lived until you have had an Arctic

Ah, apparently you didn't watch enough of that speshul because he still IS
singing. His new musical sound is along the lines of the whatever type of
music it is that seems to involve yelling incoherently into the microphone
with a loud accompaniement by what I think were chain saws. They actually
might have been playing musical instruments rather than chain saws, but it
was impossible for me to tell the difference. As always, your mileage may

No I haven't as of yet, but I figure you probably just mailed it to my old

OK! OK! I get the point. I am the only person who likes Vanilla Coke
in the ENTIRE world. Yet submitted for edification of the audience if
Coke flavour doesn't go well with vanilla explain please the
phenominonandonandon of the Coke Float. Please note it is taken as
given that some people prefer other varieties of float, but as yet
nobody has stated they despise it with a burning passion that cannot
be quenched. Nay not even if an iceberg of truely gigantic proportions
and amazing thermal properties of cold were shoved down there throats
and destroyed the very senses that detected burning. But this is
probably just me against the world AGAIN.
Or maybe it's just cos, hey, icecream.

Nobody is drinking it because it's added to DIET Coke. I mean for the
love of all that is good and pure, bacon for example. If any cola
beverage should be expunged from existance it should be DIET coke.
Possilby battling for that would be diet caffeine free coke, aka
really bad tasting chemical water.
Finally, I'd just like to state that I in no way belive Vanilla Coke
is a substitute or indeed superior to Coke itself but merely that it
is an acceptable addition to the Family. Even though I'm a lone voice

Coke and vanilla *ice cream* are fine together. (Though I have
personally usually preferred the 7-Up float.) It's just the mixture of
Coke and large amounts of vanilla extract that I don't like.

Then run, don't walk, over to the Super 88 Supermarket, or your local
equivalent warehouse of foods they didn't want in Asia, and pick yourself
up a can of smoked plum drink, with the delicious taste of cigar smoke
in a refreshing soft drink. It's as close to Bacon Coke as you can get
without a prescription. And few Bacon Doctors will give you a prescription
for Bacon Coke, because they don't exist. But I assure you, the smoky
plum drink is horrifyingly real.
> (How did VC get all the way to New Zealand already??)
Well, New Zealand is sort of part of Asia, so they sent my Super 88 Supermarket
a whole bunch of deep-fried wetas in kiwifruit-fur gravy, so the United States
had to send them equally gross to keep the Earth from being grosser on one
side than the other, causing its orbit to get all lumpy, even lumpier than
Asian soft drinks.

After Hitler hung Picasso's portrait of him in that Exhibition Of
Degenerative Art, which was like a regular avant-garde museum except
for the big banner saying "I AM ONLY HANGING THESE PAINTINGS HERE
BECAUSE I HATE THEM, SINCERELY, THE CURATOR, WHO IS HITLER", Picasso
got revenge by hanging Hitler's portrait of Picasso in Toronto's
Bata Shoe Museum under a big banner saying "MUSEUM OF SHOES AND ALSO
THAT HITLER GUY WHO ISN'T AS IMPORTANT AS THESE SHOES" but it didn't
really matter because Hitler typed his Picasso picture on the typewriter
used by the imaginary version of Ezra Pound in Vonnegut's "Mother Night"
so he had to find a way to work the "SS" logo into Picasso's face
and everyone thought it was a picture of two Harry Potters.

Kibologists resurge with their hands, not their brains. In any case,
I divide all my food up into "glop", "crunch", and "thud". Plus I
photograph it before I start eating it, so that if I forget what it

I hope the peanut gallery will forgive me for explaining something someone
else wrote, but I have to point out that this is the worst crossover story
about a Gummikrankenschwester wandering onto the set of that "Space: 1999"
episode where Maya turned into a bee so that she could fly around inside
the brain of David Prowse wearing a gorilla suit with a frog head.
Although the idea of a Gummikrankenschwester encountering Maya is
intriguing, one can't help but wonder if this wouldn't be too silly,
especially given that Maya has a row of lentils glued to her face where
her eyebrows should be, and her sideburns are just painted on, and her
ears are spray-painted brown because they count as part of her pretend
sideburns, and David Prowse's monster suit was less realistic looking than
Picasso Hitler's picture of Hitler Picasso's picture of Dave Foley Barbara Bain.
This caused David Prowse such embarassment that after George Lucas cast him
in "Star Wars", Mr. Prowse said, "George, I'd like to play this role with a
mask of some sort to hide my shameful face," and "Star Wars" was ruined
because you could no tell whether or not Darth Vader was evil because
you couldn't see his face.

A little bit of US culture, as if there weren't
enough of it already:
1) There was no world map over a week old in any
grade school that didn't have Gilligan's Island
drawn in the South Pacific.
> So you're all talking about carefree sexual hijinks (and not hikinks as
> I so very nearly typed) on sun-kissed Gillilili-takali-li-gan's Island.
> Ia.
2) "Ginger or Mary Ann?" was a hotly debated topic.
It is now accepted by most psychologists as a
valid part of personality quizes, except that kids
these days are not quite as familiar with Gilligan's
Island.
I chalk it up to the ol' style verses substance debate.
Personally, other than a nice kisser, I think Ginger
is an evil heroin waif. Dreamy eyes indeed...more
like a cold fish. But she is hawt looking, temptress
that she is, so the double entendre worked better than
usual.

See now that's great. I'm not operating from a totally different

See, I'm having the same problem except I don't like it either. I
think it tastes like watery coke with a little bit of vanillin. This
is probably going to turn into the jalapeño for the next generation:
UNCOOL UNTERGEEK: "Waah! This soda has far too much vanillin for my
puny face to handle!"

has exactly the right amount of vanillin for me."
MEGACOOL TREND-SETTING UBERDUDE: "Yawn. Has somebody dropped a box
of nilla wafers in the reservior? This 'soda' is so boring I will go
set some new megacool trends instead of finishing it."
Of course, as in all my predictions, I am firmly on top of the cool
heirarchy. Yay me! I rule, inside my head!

I thought I'd try something new with my yummy Vietnamese Subway
sandwich the other day (I usually have a refreshing canned Coconut drink
- which is double good because it's cool creaminess sooths burning taste
buds when they get carried away putting jalapeno peppers on the
sandwich). So I picked up a can of Guava drink that looked quite tasty.
How to describe it? How about a mixture of fruit cocktail, pear juice
and dish soap. Yea, that would pretty much sums it up.
Also, there's a Vietnamese soup place near here called Pho 99. Is
there some sekrit cartel involving oriental businesses and two digit
numbers?

I just want to take this opportunity to point out that not every
edible substance on the planet needs to be made more sexciting by
adding jalapeños. Go ahead and schmear your jalapeño bagel with
jalapeño cream cheese. Top it off with an actual jalapeño, for all I
care. But in the name of all that is goodly, draw the line somewhere,
okay?
My wife and I were at a fruit stand the other day, and at the checkout
was a sample platter of toffee. Perhaps sensing that something was
amiss, my wife declined to taste a toffee sample. I did.
That's right: jalapeño toffee. Talk about a bad touch to the
tastebuds.

Hmmm... philosophical questions like that really should be refered to
the Abbé himself. Though I suppose he's more interested in the flavour
of BRANEZ RAARGH now. Let's see if I can bluff it. No, I can't. Dunno.
One or the other. Me, I go for insipid every time, mais ca va sans dire,
hien? Having the orgue des saveurs in the maze would make for an
interesting variation on food pellets for the experiment. Assuming I
could find it, I'd keep hitting the 'D'.
Also, and this is too scienceriffic for me to work out unaided, would
insipidity be available by mixing the other flavours, or does it have to
have a key of its own if it's to be obtained at all? Mebbes it was
useful for toning the others down a bit? And other unfunny ramblings of
a like nature.
The Abbé Poncelet does this better than me. On fire. In bed. The clown
with his foot right now bay-bee lobsterguin.

I beg your pardon. In *my* grade school there was no way of doing this
as they wouldn't have known which parts were the oceans, or how to

said "Fonzie says AAAYYYYYYY!" instead.

Hah! In Mary-land, we don't have a Gifted And Talented program. We

Where I grew up, in a place that is in a completely different part of
Arizona than the part that's on fire, it was a just plain Gifted
program. So I have gifts but no talent. I think I knew that.
Also, next year my son will be going to Uni High in Champaign, which
is the nerdiest high school in the country. It's so nerdy it has
junior high and high school all smushed into one building so tightly
that it doesn't quite fit and they had to saw off one year to make
room. Also he reads a lot of science fiction and plays D&D. Before
long he'll be hax0ring into the NSA and putting himself on the
payroll. By the time they discover it he'll be such a valued employee
that they'll keep him and even give him a raise!
Yay for nerdism!

Speaking of bacon, could you please explain to me the
difference (if any) between "canadian bacon" and "irish
bacon". I need it for a homework assignment.

American bacon: wiggly rectangle in the lasagna family.
Canadian bacon: coaster-like circle.
Irish bacon: brick.
Irish Bacon is a lot like Spam, except that it doesn't contain any
areas where meat fibers running north-to-south collide with another
meat domain where the fibers are perpendicular, and possibly of
the opposite sex. Irish Bacon is supposed to be all from one animal.
And that animal's name is... "57".
This is one of the reasons Animal 57 was invented. Because they were
tired of grinding up all those pigs to make one can of Spam. Animal 57
lets them get the strange amorphous mass of meat all in one piece.
A side effect of this is that real one-piece Irish bacon (a cube taken
from inside a pig) has been rendered obsolete now that Animal 57 can
be grown into a bacon cube of any size, even one bigger than a pig
in case you need to be able to slice bacon into bedsheets.
There is also Chinese bacon, which is disturbingly similar to those
vile little nuggets sold at chowmeineries as "boneless spare ribs"
except without the coating of red stamp pad ink.
I'm just glad there's no such thing as Japanese Bacon. It would
be made from fish skin. And topped with mayonnaise and corn. And it
would make boneless spare ribs look like they had a natural color.
I was busy today, so I didn't get to go to the Japanese grocery store
and buy the fluorescent purple pickles I so desperately need. Waah!

One local market used to sell
"pizza-size Canadian Bacon",
which looked like pink quarters.
I liked those.
And then there are the miserable
"Bac'n Bites" sold in Oscar Mayer
"Lunchables" kits -- they look
like dimes with a bad rash.

It would be topped with sea urchin roe--- you know that. Iron Chef
has taught us.
By the way, I went to the newly remodeled Altantic SuperStore in the
BLIP (Bayers Lake Industrial Park) yesterday, and right inside the
entrance there was a sushi counter manned by the only two Japanese
people in Atlantic Canada.
"Ahhh," said I, helpless to stop channelling my father, "Iron Chef
Sushi!"
The guy screamed and drove a set of chopsticks through my eyebulbs. I
HATE when that happens!
-=Darla=-
The newly remodeled Atlantic SuperStore at the BLIP is three times as
large as any of your imaginary supermarkets. Now it also sells TVs
and DVD players, folding chairs made from chicken wire and Canadian
flags, has a mezzanine and a piano player, but still no Clamato
Rimmer. They are apparently leaving that market segment for Sobey's.
Which in Mandarin means "stinky vagina," though I don't think the
Sobey family knows that.

For a minute there I had a mental picture of a piece of Canadian Bacon
that was 12-inches across and 1/2-inch thick and started to think: "Ummm,
yummy bacon!" Then you went and shattered that image with that quarter-
size business. MY Imaginary supermarket sells our 12-in slices of Bacon
in both regular and deep dish. We will soon be carrying the X-treme
Canadian Bacon that comes in a 12-in cube.

Watch out! Kansas Farm Bureau is one step ahead of ARK yet again with
this exciting chocolate announcement:
Choglit
AFBF Executive News Watch
Beverage industry insiders report Coca-Cola Co. is planning to debut two
new flavored dairy drinks in the United States this fall - a chocolate
drink called Choglit in the Northeast, and unnamed chocolate and vanilla
drinks in the Midwest and southwestern regions.
"These kinds of products would give Coke an additional entry into younger
consumers," said John Sicher, editor of Beverage Digest. Coca-Cola is
battling with PepsiCo for control of the fast-growing health and
nutritional drinks market.

Well, I _finally_ got around to seeing what all the wanger was about with
this new wanger coke (the bottle sits before me) and I can wangerly report
that I am seriously underwhelmed. It makes me wanger of a cheap cream ale,
which while not necessarily a wanger thing, isn't what I was wangering for
when I wangered the bottle.
So in summary: I give it wanger wangers out of wanger.
