Finally, the folks down in Atlanta (World of Coca-Cola) have decided to do what drug-store fountains in the South have been doing for years. The vanilla syrup makes the coke much more mellow and takes the acidic bite out the the effervescence. I can't wait until the release. I almost never consume soft-drinks but I just can't resist a Vanilla Coke whenever I see an opportunity to order one. I think Vanilla Coke will dominate the Coke off-shoots (Cherry/Lemon) much like Krispy-Kreme (another Southern invention) has taken a strong-hold in the doughnut market. Chalk one up for the South!
