Coca-Cola's Coffee Soda

Boost writes "According to a new press release Coca-Cola is about to launch a new beverage called Coca-Cola Blak that adds real coffee to the blend. Carbonated coffee?" I imagine this will be quite different than the cans of hot coffee that makes walking around in Tokyo so delicious. But hey, cans of coffee! I'm in for one at least.

so..

[Turn-X Alphonse]

So they're putting coffee flavour in coke.. How.. odd coke tastes vile, why would you want to add a bitter taste to it? "oohh it's like eating coal while sucking on a lemon" comes to mind.

[kitzilla]

If I has mod points left, you'd get them. I just spewed coal-and-lemon beverage on my screen. ;-)

Super-Coffee

[Grandma Death]

I've always wondered what would happen if you brewed a pot of coffee with caffeinated water.

[WhiteFlye]

Seriously though, I don't know that I want to mix two of my favorite beverages.

I agree. While I whole-heartedly endorse any attempt to further increase the options for the consumption of copious amounts of caffeine, this creation strikes me as appetizing as Budweiser's BE. For those unacquainted with the latter it tastes much like you'd expect a drink squeezed out of the bar rag would taste.

I for one..

[esbjorn]

In swedish, the word "bläk" means something like "yuck" in english... appropriate, maybe?

Beat the rush

[kitzilla]

Coca-Cola Blak is not just a flavor extension. It is a blend of unique Coke refreshment with the true essence of coffee and has a rich smooth texture and has a coffee-like froth when poured.

Awesome ... a soft drink with crema. OMFG.

Do I have to wait until I actually try this soft drink to throw up? Or can I beat the rush and just put a finger down my throat now?

[BWJones]

Wow...... thanks? I guess you can chalk it up to my using the brand name on this Slashdot post instead of my usual reference to most cola products as "sodas". When I go to get a Coke, it is usually referenced by going for a soda.

Although, it's nice to know that Coca-Cola marketing folks spend time on Slashdot. ;-)

Re:But what about the flavour?

yea, seseme is spelled wrong, duh

Good + Good = Vomit

[TheRon6]

A few weeks ago, while in a slightly drunken state, I came up with the great idea of mixing Yoo-hoo and gin together with a 1:1 ratio. Both are so great seperate that they must be SUPER great together! I imagine that Coca-Cola may soon face the same bitter-sweet failure I did. It seemed like such a good idea at the time...

Interesting...

[cosmotron]

So this drink will help your liver and rot your teeth at the same time. Thats a bit weird.

I was always amused that the marketing lines were "Enjoy Coca-Cola!" but only "Taste Diet Coke!" proving my theory that diet colas cannot be enjoyed...

What's the problem with that? As long as it's organic, free-range kona....

We don't have one of those. God just kvetches at you for all eternity.

I hate it when he gives me two ties and the first time I wear one them he looks at me, sighs, and says, in his basic tone of voice:

"The other one you didn't like?"

Oy! Such a noodge.
