New Drinks both PEPSI & COCA-COLA are introducing at the SAME TIME! hmmmmm....

[DannyWilliams]

I have been noticing when either COCA-COLA or PEPSI introduces a new drink the other comes out with something similar. hmmmmmm....

Just tried the DIET COKE VANILLA ZERO = okay
the DIET CHERRY COKE ZERO is pretty good





Now I just picked up DIET PEPSI's MAX at a SAFEWAY store today......


I LIKED IT VERY VERY MUCH!

Do't drink any of that stuff...it's all poison.

Keep telling yourself, 'water, milk, or juice'.

NO ONE will take away my 2 bottles of Dr. Pepper a week. Poison or not!

Don't tell other people what to do... it's annoying.

Coca Cola has also reintroduced "Coca Cola Vanilla" (instead of the long departed Vanilla Coke which I had only been able to find at the Dole Cannery Regal cinemas..).

The problem companies like Coke and Pepsi face is that when they introduce a new product, they are usually only shifting customers from one of their brands to another. Sure, it's great if Coke Zero sells a zillion cases a day, but if most of that zillion is switching from Diet Coke (or Sprite, or Dasani, or Coke Classic, or...), it doesn't do the company much good. I suspect they introduce new varieties like this to keep customers' interest up and their loyalty strong, never really with the intention of keeping them long-term.

The desire to try something new is strong, so offering something new that's still in the family seems like a good idea.

Did any of y'all ever try the coke, uh....what was it called, the DARK one?? Oh, gag, barf it was horrible, it was some coffee mixed with the coke recipe and it gave me indigestion which I very rarely get. Never....will buy that one again and wonder.....is it taken off of the market yet?

That would be Coke Blaq. I never tried it. I don't know if it's still in production, but I know I've seen it recently at a few of my normal grab-a-drink stops.

Never drink water. Fish pee in it.

Cow juice? Ewwww!

You don't like milk, Tutu? Well, more for me. I'm a milk addict. I almost never drink sodas. For me it's milk (or water (in spite of the fish joke) or iced tea, with lemon).

You forget beer. I have a friend who could drink that like water.

That's why I no ask fo' sip from his sports bottle. In his world, public fountains would only deliver beer.
