Coke: Diet Black Cherry Vanilla Coke

By: Tanya Taylor, PhD | Jan 26, 2006

Coke withdrew Vanilla cherry from shelves in the US at the beginning of 2006, and in it's place came Black Cherry Vanilla Coke, regular and diet version. I really like this new flavor. A word of warning, it is sweeter than most other diet Coke (or Pepsi) sodas. I guess the sweetness is from the 'cherry and vanilla' flavor. I could taste the vanilla flavor, but it's mild - weaker than in the former vanilla coke, but I like the mildness. The cherry flavor is even milder, and not that noticeable in my opinion. You know how people say they don't like diet sodas because they taste different, well the Diet Black Cherry Vanilla Coke really tastes like regular, sugar-ladened sodas.

Diet Black Cherry Vanilla Coke uses aspartame and acesulfame-K as the sweeteners, same as with the regular Diet Coke, and of course, has no calories. It's a little too sweet for my taste, but this is a great product to ease the transition to diet sodas if you're a newbie.
