It does indeed rock! And a big thanks to Asda for providing their own vanilla cola brand at about a third the price of Coca-Cola brand :)

Similar enough, no worse or better though. They also do a lemon+lime flavour which isn't too bad, better as a mixer really.

Back to the topic of the vodka, I've not seen it being sold, could easily buy some normal vodka and some vanilla pods and leave them in to let the flavour diffuse for a few days if you wanted the vanilla taste. Other flavoured vodkas I have had from Absolut have left a nasty aftertaste.

Nope, I meant the coke (but just lemon and lime, no vanilla) :) Probably meant to recreate the pub atmosphere of 'ice and slice'

amen to that - lemon pepsi is so much better than lemon coke, so vanilla pepsi would be just ... well, my mouth's watering at the thought.

Vanilla Pepsi > Vanilla Coke.

Vanilla Coke tastes like regular coke and then the vanilla aftertaste hits you. Vanilla pepsi actually TASTES like vanilla-flavored pepsi. I don't particularly care whether I drink pepsi or coke, but vanilla pepsi is way better than vanilla coke.

Now back on topic, Absolut makes the worst vodka ever. I drink either Smirnoff or Thor's Hammer.

It isn't available any more. They stopped producing it. I liked it... Berry flavored cola. :)

I also like cinnamon altoids....

Made in the UK, yet not available here...
The only way is to buy a british product, made in the UK, sent to the US, from the US, and ship it BACK to the UK
