Diet Coke with Cherry

Stephen · 22-02-2006, 11:47

Just wondered if anyone has tried this yet. I have waited ages for them to do a diet Cherry coke, as I am Diabetic can't drink the regular stuff. The USA has had a diet cherry coke for years and they have never bothered to release it here.

Its nothing like the normal cherry coke though as this is actually black cherry and tastes a little bit like black forrest gateau

The reason they are introducing this is because Vanilla coke and Lemon coke are being withdrawn.

Sounds minging but I'd give it a try.

Black Forest Gateau?

I'm there!

I have a bottle of lime diet coke at home at the moment which is delicious also. I'm not a big fan of their lemon variety though. It's all lemon and no coke. Lemon Pepsi is much nicer. Vanilla is OK but I can take it or leave it.

I'll look out for it next time I'm in Asda.

our local co-op have had it for a few weeks - completely different taste to full fat cherry coke.

I have bought so many bottles in the last week, however I have only found it in 500ml bottles or 330ml cans. No sign of 2L bottles yet.

I love it.

Next time your in the states try Wild Cherry Pepsi, not bringing it out over here which is a shame cas it taste so much better than cherry coke. When you drink cherry pepsi taste like pepsi till you swallow the drink and then you get a strong cherry after taste thats handsome

I know the Wild cherry Pepsi is even better. I drank loads of it while in Florida last year. I even brought 12 cans back with me. Am going back in August and plan to bring some more back.

I did email Pepsi and coca-cola when I got back to see if they would bring out the diet cherry drinks but the response from both of them was there isn't enough demand.

Now with Coca-Cola bringing our their cherry drink maybe Pepsi will follow.

If you have a local One Stop (Could be branded Dillons still but unlikely) we have the 500ml Bottles for 2 for ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£1.30 and the 2l bottles for 2 for ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£2.30 (not bad imo)
