I liked Vanilla Coke. Anayways, I say bring back orginal Coke. I don't mean Coke "Classic" sweetened with high fructose corn syrup, I mean original Coca Cola sweetened with sugar. Real, honest sugar.

[RockinRight]

I like Vanilla Coke too.

You can get Coke made with real sugar from Mexico. And around Passover, in the U.S. you can find Coke made with sugar.

Vanilla coke was my beverage of choice at the soda fountain after school.

I hated vanilla coke but loved Pepsi with Lemon. Apparently I was the only one, cause they still making it also.

[Tim Long]

YEA! That stuff was awful. PEPSI CLEAR!!

[andyk]

phase out its Vanilla Coke

NO!!

[Clemenza]

Vanilla Coke and Cherry Coke from the OLD SODA FOUNTAIN (Bobby Valentine's in Stamford had one) are great. The crap that Coke bottles is a different story.

[Red Badger]

Don't you mean Cherry-Coke?........

[RepoGirl]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

They CANT take my diet Vanilla Coke!

[PeoplesRepublicOfWashington]

I want a Diet Cinnamon Coke.

I like the new Coke that is sweetened with Splenda.

I think RC missed a huge opportunity. They should have dropped the price for a while, back when they had an exclusive and gotten more people to try it. I think they could have taken significant market share. But their strategy may have been influenced by manufacturing capacity which continues to be tight for spenda.

You'll still be able to find Cream Sodas to satisfy you cravings........

[Holicheese]

I miss Tab!

Moxie is where its at!

Coke to phase out Vanilla Coke in U.S.

They would do better to phase out corn syrup in the U.S.

[Red Badger]

You'll have to revert back to Cream Sodas..........

"I don't know if we have ever taken out a flavor and brought it back to the market

When they introduced the "New" coke (can't remember what they called it), did they stop production of Coke "Classic", or just market the other more heavily?

[ArrogantBustard]

And around Passover, in the U.S. you can find Coke made with sugar.

Is that the "Kosher for Passover" Coke? I've been wondering what the deal with that is.

[brytlea]

Oh my, THAT sounds good!
I'm sorry to lose diet vanilla Coke, but frankly, I don't probably need to drink so much soda anyway.

It is so bland. And too damn sweet. I wish they would return to real sugar instead of fructose. It just isn't right.
