As long as people are discussing variations of the REAL Coke,
when I picked up the NY Post this AM (7/11) with the headline:
"Coke Brings Back The REAL Thing!" (their emphasis), what did I
see in the cooler but:
Cherry Coke.
I decided if I could handle the New C(h)oke, I could try a can
of this stuff.
Actually, it tastes like your basic supermarket-brand black
cherry soda. It was very heavily carbonated, and I honestly
could not taste any cola flavor to it. It resembles in no
way that I can tell the classic (small 'c') fountain cherry
colas of my NYC youth.
Another marketing ploy? Maybe they plan to drive out the com-
petitors by simply putting out so many different 'Cokes' that
Pepsi et al. simply have no available space on the shelves.
