    I want Coke to do a mango flavor. Pepsi do a mango flavor Pepsi Max and it’s delicious. The problem is that over the past year or so, Pepsi changed something in the recipe and now whenever I drink it, I get migraines and dizzy spells. Coke doesn’t, but they only have the lemon flavor near me and that’s not as nice as the mango Pepsi.

      Coke has a flavor called Twisted Mango. I haven’t tried it nor seen it bottled anywhere, but I bet those touchscreen dispenser machines at some restaurants would have it.

        It’s the only thing I get from them now. I always made that as a flavor in the freestyle machines.

      They have one. At least, I’ve had one. Called Twisted Mango from what I remember.

        I don’t know if they sell that in the UK. Every flavored coke and pepsi I’ve seen here has been “With Lemon” or “With Peach” or “With Mango”. They didn’t give it a specific name. The same with the Coke Peach you get in Japan which is delicious and I’m upset I can’t find it being sold here.

    I haven’t tried vanilla but I’ve heard it’s good.

    Cherry is the fucking GOAT

    Had a raspberry cane sugar one at Niagara falls that was pretty good.

    Still am looking to try the Quebec maple syrup coke someday.

          I haven’t, but I don’t care for orange creamsicle popsicles anymore (used to love them). I’m assuming you won’t like it if you don’t care for orange creamsicle popsicles. Is that accurate?

            I’m assuming you won’t like it if you don’t care for orange creamsicle popsicles.

            It is exactly orange creamscicle popsicles, and so strong that you can drink the whole bottle, refill it with regular Coke, and it will still taste strongly of creamsicle.

            I would say that’s accurate. I found it added a little of that creamy flavor and a little orange zest. Not what I wanted for every drink but unique enough it was interesting.

            I love orange creamsicles, but didn’t like the Coke… I think it was the cream flavor that was weird; I get lemon or lime flavor from the freestyle machines pretty often, so the citrus flavor is good.

      LPT. If you ever get the chance to go to a Waffle House: order a Cherry Coke and ask for a double shot of cherry.

      It turns into CHERRY coke and is even better.

      A few years back, they changed it to “feisty cherry” for a bit. That was, hands down, the worst soda I’ve ever tasted in my life. Why they did it, I don’t know, but it was really hard to find the normal cherry for a while.

    The Orange Cream Coke is pretty good.

    But if it comes down to that or Cherry-Vanilla, the orange gets the noose. I’m a slut for cherry-vanilla.

      The Orange Cream Coke is pretty good.

      Really? I’ve been too wary to try it. I love orange creamcicles and I love Coke. But that just sounds like a super weird combo.

        I tried it and didn’t like it, but obviously that’s just a personal opinion - several other people in this thread have said it’s good. I like Coke and I like orange cream soda, but the two together just didn’t work for me.

        I’m team Vanilla Coke. I hated that during the pandemic I usually couldn’t get it; and even now, the grocery store might only have one or two 12-packs in stock when we need it. But cherry (and cherry vanilla) is also pretty good, and I like to mix it up sometimes.

          Lol I’m in the same boat. I dona lot of grocery store curbside pickup, so I don’t know what their stock levels are when I place my order. I always specify Vanilla Coke, and whenever it’s not filled I’m a little sad.

    It was kinda gross and reminded me of a cleaning fluid, but I haven’t had Lime Coke for a while. I could go for one of those right now (and might instantly regret it, but, nostalgia…).

      I remember the first time I had the vanilla flavor

      It was early june in high school when I saw a patch of white lilies that started opening. Those used to be my grandmas favorite, she passed that year… So with semi-teary eyes I checked my wallet and I remember just having enough pocket money for a can of coke (my folks were very strict about soda, but gran had a coke addiction)! So I went to the corner store, I must have been very wistful as I didn’t notice that the coke was flavored. Aaand I threw that shit out, it was fucking disgusting!

        If you read this comment in the style of, “this is an ad for Coke trying to yank at your heartstrings,” the ending is both hilarious and really satisfying. So thanks for that!

        I don’t know why but I imagined you throwing it away while saying, “Gran wouldn’t stand for this!”

    If the company could stop making new Coke flavours then killing off popular ones more often than Netflix series or Google chat apps, it would be appreciated.

      I fuckin loved spiced coke. I had a flat of the mini cans I got from Sam’s Club (don’t judge me, we don’t have a Costco or a Trader Joes where I live) and every day after I got home from the gym I’d have a can of spiced coke and it was the fuckin best.

      But now it’s gone and I’m quite upset about it. The orange cream is fine but it’s not the spiced. AGH! They made a coke with all my favorite flavors and then ditched it!
