For years many of us have added a spritz of vanilla to our colas. The flavor was sweet and refreshing. Depending on the vanilla used, however, there could be a bitter after taste. Now Coca-Cola has added Vanilla Coke to their line. It, too, is sweet and refreshing. I was quiet pleased with the product and thought I might never switch again. Then Diet Vanilla Coke arrived.
WOW! It’s a diet cola like no other. From the second my lips touch the bottle, the sweet scent of vanilla is tickling my nose. When the taste hits my tongue, it registers as ’’delicious’’.
In the United States you can purchase this product in several different sizes. There is the 12-oz can, the six-pack of 12-oz cans, a case of 24 12-oz cans, a 20 oz bottle, a 2 liter bottle, a 1 liter bottle, and a six-pack of 1 liter bottles.
Prices vary, but you can generally get a 20 oz bottle for $1.15 here in New Mexico. You can get a 2-liter for about $1.25. It would save you money to buy the bigger bottle. However, if you are not going to share the 2-liter or consume the entire bottle in one day, I would advise against it. Diet Vanilla coke left in the fridge over night in a previously opened bottle tastes nasty!

While I’m not sure what some of these ingredients are, I can pretty much guarantee Diet Vanilla Coke is not a ’’healthy’’ drink. Drinking it ’’occasionally’’ would be recommended.
I am sure this flavor is not for everyone, but it is worth trying!
