Darth Homer Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 Today's taste-test is to verify whether or not Pepsico is telling the truth when it claims it's vanilla-flavored cola has "Not so much Vanilla". First off, I would like to say that I really like Vanilla Coke and see no reason why the level of vanilla in it is a bad thing, but I did not let that get in the way of my biased opinion...uh, I mean UN-biased opinion...heh... Anyway, on to the taste-test...I acquired 2 2-litre bottles, one of Vanilla Coke, the other of Pepsi Vanilla at the same store at the same time. Once home, I opened each & poured a bit into identical plastic cups. I took a few drinks of one and then the other. I did detect a difference, but it was no more so than the difference between Coke and Pepsi. So there you have it. Choose whichever you want, it just comes down to whether you like Pepsi or Coke better. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Announcer: This GB.com Taste Test was brought to you by Darth Homer!

Boba Rhett Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 The VP actually tasted to me like it had a lot more vanilla than the VC. I think for my vanilla needs I'll stick with the Coke. Unless I find the Pepsi cheaper somewhere. I'm not a loyal person. Now if only Lipton would come out with vanilla tea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zygomaticus Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 I pride myself at not having ever drunk Vanilla Coke or Pepsi... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbguy1211 Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 New Coke was crap. Crystal Pepsi was crap. Vanilla Coke was crap. Vanilla Pepsi is most likely.... a: Great! The best stuff ever! b: Decent. c: CRAP!!! Hey Rhett... get some backbone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Homer Posted September 5, 2003 Author Share Posted September 5, 2003 One thing that did surprise me was that Vanilla Coke doesn't have vanilla listed in the ingredients, but Pepsi Vanilla did (3rd to last, though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edlib Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 Want Vanilla? Drink Cream Soda. I like Polar... I didn't like Vanilla Coke. Haven't tried the Pepsi (and since I don't really like Pepsi it's unlikely I will either...) Frankly, I'm getting tired of having to keep up with the latest attempts of the Cola conglomerates to corner a few more percentage points of that ever-elusive "Market Share" and cramming the "latest/ greatest" thing to ever hit the streets since the dawn of carbon-based life down our throats. When I want a Coke,.. I drink a Coke. I don't want it flavored with anything else... thankyouverymuch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Shears Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 Isn't vanilla coke supposed to be like cream soda? Oh well, I DESPISE vanilla coke, never tried vanilla pepsi, but if it comes down to regular coke vs pepsi, it's definetely coke for me. Except that we live right next to someone who works at a pepsi factory, so every time we bring in coke from the car he gives us this look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
