Coke thinks coffee-cola is it
'Coca-Cola Blak' adds a jolt of joe; singing sandwiches; and a $5,000 toilet

Many might have thought Coca-Cola was being a soda jerk for canning Vanilla Coke last month, but now we know the reason behind the move: The company was clearing space on supermarket shelves for a coffee-flavored drink called Coca-Cola Blak.

Apparently tired of losing the thirst-share of Generation X-ers addicted to Starbucks and Red Bull, the beverage behemoth will launch Coca-Cola Blak in coffee-craving France next month, with a worldwide rollout soon to follow.

"We believe we have created a new category of soft drink — an adult product in a carbonated beverage — and a whole new drinking experience. This brand is ideal for any part of the day when people are looking for renewed energy or simply to take a break," said Marc Mathieu, vice president of global core brands.

We assume when he says "any part of the day," he means anytime that does not precede sleeping.

What?? Coca Cola is canning Vanilla Coke? I didn't know about that. I guess I am behind the news. I would like to taste Coca Cola Blak though. Hey, deafclimber, put me on the mailing list too :D
 
What the heck are they thinking, mixing caffiene and coffee in it? Talk about double sensory overload! I wonder, Would it succeed? Don't get me wrong, I love drinking Coke but ehh....coffee in it? Now that's something different.
 
I ain't worried about getting to taste that new coke, because there's zillions of different soda pops...whew, it isn't neccessary! :P
 
The taste of Vanilla Coke was very magical in dealing with the stress of running a fireworks stand years ago. It's sad they cancelled that one out. But Coke Blak could be interesting. I'm always interested in new soda connoctions to give me a brek from the mundane 'same old stuff' offerings by the sodamakers.

To be honest I dislike Coke, but Diet coke and diet pepsi I'll drink only. :dance2:
 
i dont drink sodas much just a few occasional sips is all

this particular soda sounds pretty gross -- i would prefer to drink regular coffee without the soda in there yikes

I thought the Vanilla Coke was alright. However, I prefer the TGIF (Friday's) version better. They use real vanilla syrup (and cherry syrup)... not fake flavored liquid.
