I hope Vanilla Coke comes back.I do not
really care for Black Cherry Vanilla coke.
Vanilla Coke was doing good,do not fix it if it
is not broken.
If Dr.Pepper never came out with Cherry Vanilla
Doc,I do not think Coca Cola would have replaced
Vanilla Coke with BCV coke.They did that to compete with CV Dr.pepper.

I hope it too...

Why would a company come out with a black cherry vanilla COLA to compete with a cherry vanilla SPICY CHERRY?

That makes no sense.

Vanilla Coke sales were in the toilet. Cherry has historically been a strong flavor, so I imagine the thought process was to invigorate the brand by introducing a second, strong selling flavor to the formula.

It makes complete sense. The other company's rolling out a Cherry Vanilla version of their core brand, let's do it too and capitalize on the Cherry Vanilla craze.

Capitalizing and competing are two different things, though.

Today I found Vanilla Coke! Not just old expired product.It was found in a Chuck E Cheese In New Hartford,NY on tap.Spread the word.

You actually freely admit going into a CEC?

Gee I thought kids just go there for the games and that large Jungle Jim. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

well since I have two kids and my girl has 3 and they just opened it here in this area, it not a bad thing to admit we went there.The kids had a blast and I found a little taste of something I thought was gone! Not a bad deal.
