As mentioned in a previous post, Coke is test marketing Raspberry Coke+Diet Rasberry Coke in New Zealand.

I am a bit bummed that it is not happening here in the States, and I don't think I'll get a chance to get down there this summer to try it.
But the link has a small picture of the bottle

Thats awesome. I guess Pepsi did it a decade ago, but glad to see a Raspberry Cola comeback. Hope it makes North America!

Mmm... mouthwatering

That sounds very good!

If you really want to try it, you can buy it on ebay for about 15-20 dollars total (price + shipping to US)

or not

Yeah that is just a little too much money.

I tried the Diet Coke and Raspberry today, and it's great 8-).

I must admit that I was worried that they wouldn't get the mix right, but (in my opinion) it's absolutely perfect. The raspberry flavour is definitely not overpowering (as is quite common when you order a "Coke & Raspberry" at a bar).

I think it costs NZ$2.90 per 600ml bottle (I'm not too sure because I got a couple of bottles with the groceries tonight).

Nigel H,
You are one lucky soul. [img]smile.gif[/img]
So good to hear that you have tasted the new Raspberry Coke.

Your review of it nearly had me all chocked up.LOL Thank you for sharing your experience.

Now Coke please give the States Raspberry Coke!

Just for fun I purchased a bottle off e-bay. Arrived in great shape, my family and I drank it tonight. Pretty sweet, very strong raspberry taste...results from my family:
Daughter #1: Loved it, just perfect.
Daughter #2: One sip, did not like it.
Wife: It's OK.
Me: Good, but I could never drink a whole bottle.

It was a fun experiment!
