    Coke II is just a new name for New Coke, the Coca-Cola Company's amazingly STUPID replacement of regular Coke. They got rid of Classic Coke and replaced it with a Pepsi-like cola. The whole thing exploded in their faces, nationwide people boycotted Coke products and protested outside Coke's headquarters until regular Coke was brought back. I haven't drank it since the mid-80's, so I can't really recall what it was like too much.

    It was good But yes it was a huge disaster for Coke. You can still get it somewhere in the far east (asia)

    I don't remember Coke II but I do remember trying New Coke back in the late 80's when I was a kid. Is New Coke the same thing as Coke II?

    Where can you still get it. I didn't hate it at the time. I really didn't care. It wasn't like the flavor for Coke is written in the Bible or anything.

    damn.. I used to get Coke II all the time, it was a nice change of pace from regular pepsi and coke (always seemed like a mix of the two to me).

    COKE II was everywhere in the burbs of Chicago til not to long ago, and didnt even notice it was gone until I wanted some again

    Last time I found it was Dec '01. I have a case of it here, the ones that haven't disintegrated I will sip every once in a while. I don't think it's safe to drink anymore Found it at a Cub Foods outside Chicago.

    When CCE bought out Hondo, they "canned" it (pun?)
