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 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.
I like muppets.
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.
In swedish, the word "bläk" means something like "yuck" in english... appropriate, maybe?
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...
Does this rag smell like chloroform to you?
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...
