I've had Vanilla Coke. Not bad, actually. Just a slightly mellower flavor.

So, vanilla Coke is really good, and a bit of a southern tradition. You can get them at your local Waffle House, along with cherry Coke. Not Cherry Coke, mind you, but Coke with cherry syrup in it.

Cherry coke, vanilla coke and coffee coke; all of these were available at the malt shop in my 1950's youth. O' Arnold's where is thy sting? For that matter where is thy fries with gravy?

April Fools or no, there's already a Vanilla Coke on the market: its call Dr Pepper. See if I'm not right, the next time you pop a Pepper. The main (though subtle) flavor there is vanilla, I'm pretty sure.

Dr Pepper is absolutely not a vanilla Coke, for goodness sake, man! :)
Anyway, Vanilla Coke is a very real drink. I'd be surprised if this was a gag - and pleased if it came out, as Vanilla Coke is a delicious beverage. You just can't beat a delicious beverage.

Vanilla Coke would be great with whiskey, and I hate whiskey.

No, Dr. Bip (an obscure brand available in WV and the Pittsburgh suburbs) has prune juice.
Dr. Pepper has apricot juice. Or it did, until they switched over to artificial flavors after the Dr. Pepper Extreme fiasco in '87.

Dr. Pepper extreme? Never even heard of that one! Was that like Cool Colt, the mentholated malt-liquor?

"Now you can have the taste of Worcestershire sauce in a soft drink! Ahhh....Steaky!"

When I was a kid in the early sixties we would walk to the pharmacy, sit at the counter, and for an extra two cents we could get a vanilla syrup squirted into the nickel coke. Man was that great. We would get a straw and suck up the syrup from the bottom before drinking the coke. Not very healthy but tasty.

Apparently I'm not the only person in the world who thinks Dr Pepper has the flavoring of vanilla in it. & I maintain that for this reason, Vanilla Coke will be a flop. http://mysack.8m.com/drpepper.html

the cherry coke mentioned earlier, in fact almost all "cherry" beverages flavored with a syrup are actually pomegranate flavored. the "cherry" flavoring used most commonly in beverages, alcoholic and non, is grenadine syrup (grenade is french for pomegranate). yay pomegrantes .
