I am foolishly suceptible to marketing

[snailboy]

Today I tried Coca-cola Blak. It was the worst decision I have ever made. This shit tastes like sunscreen, except sunscreen doesn't have the disgusting aspartame aftertaste this does. Oy! For this, they get rid of Vanilla Coke? Blak makes Clear Pepsi seem like a good idea.
I am warning you. Do not even try it.

what is even the concept behind this?

[sybaritical]

yeah what is it? I keep seeing it everywhere, but they don't explain how it is different to regular coke. Isn't coke black anyway? I don't understand.

maybe it's an acquired taste

It's supposed to be an energy/coffee/sophisticated asshole drink. I think the French came up with it. My sources say in Europe it's all hip to drop a shot of espresso in your Coke (which might actually be good), but this stuff tastes like a bulimic got to it first.

it's kind of fun being suckered into marketing sometimes though

it's like normal coke with stale coffee aftertaste. i can make that at home.

Robin you should write to them and tell them how bad it is. Isn't there a Coke plant in Charlotte? Or is that Pepsi?
