I am currently drinking a bottle of Coke Bl?k. I first mentioned this "effervescence with coffee essence" (so says the ) in a post last December. In that post, I said that I'd "be the first in line to buy some." I wasn't kidding.
Too bad it tastes like crap.
, a website dedicated to reviewing every beverage on planet earth, the soft drink, giving it 2.5/5 stars. From the review; "You'll probably wonder why Coke decided to take diet cola -- which isn't exactly known for its smooth aftertaste -- and combine it with coffee extract. The taste of the product is enjoyably sweet and creamy, but the aftertaste is somewhat brutal, with bitter flavors of coffee and aspartame left behind."
I agree. I keep taking sips of it, hoping that it will get better, but it just doesn't. It quite literally tastes like Diet Coke mixed with coffee grounds... I guess I don't know what I was expecting.
Maybe will be better. But if Pepsi learns anything from Coke's sure-failure, though, it will never even make it to the states.

Did you ever enjoy a Frappe while in Greece? It is the most wonderful frothy cold coffee drink and I am trying to figure out a way to bring it back to the US along with the Feta and a few other tasty treats.
This reminds me of how sometimes I drink coffee with a pepsi chaser.
