It's the "no sugar" part that I find the most blasphemous.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago

and "no calories"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Why? I love it, makes it compatible with my Diabetes. I wish more drinks did this so I had something else then water and coke zero to drink in restaurants.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

That's fair. I'm certainly not against the concept of drinks with sugar alternatives, but for whatever reason the only one I actually enjoy is Fresca.

I like coke 0, but a crossover with coke and Oreo is wild to have both 0 calories AND 0 sugar

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I prefer to chew my calories, thanks.

Vanilla Coke Zero Sugar is my caffeinated soda of choice. It's pretty good!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I wish they'd bring back Orange Vanilla! Importing the Bleach themed coke that was orange vanilla from Japan was expensive and didn't last long.

Mate. No offense I swear and I’m convinced this isn’t what this is, but your post feels like these fake "organic" posts made by marketing firms pretending to be actual human beings plugging their products in "totally normal and not staged" ways.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah I see that haha I promise it's not, I'm more a pepsi guy usually anyway 👀 #ad

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wow, how much they paying to advertise both sides?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

coca cola just got outbidded on OP's contract

The Coke flavored Oreos are the more demonic side of this coin. Who the hell thought Aspartame was a good flavor for a cookie?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah I tried these, they're like oreos but then a weird coke flavour punches you in the face at some point.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

I stopped drinking Coke for some years and now it tastes terrible, like gross sickly medicine. I don't think Coke changed its flavour all that much, I think that I appraised it more objectively and found it severely lacking.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They did switch from sugar to HFCS at one point. The "zero sugar" line is better.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If you stop drinking all the soda (fake or real sugar) your brain rewires to baseline eventually. And at baseline sodas are disgustingly sickeningly sweet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Except for Sprite at a McDonalds, because the water purification and soft drink system costs as much as the rest of the store combined.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

This happened to me too. I don't drink sodas but in the very rare occasion there is nothing else I try to pick the zero types, like the other user said, they feel less sweet and less medicine tasting.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They're okay, but they mostly taste like Vanilla Coke with a faint whisper of artificial chocolate flavour (think Tootsie Rolls). I really don't recommend it unless you want to try a novelty flavour for fun.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah it was more "weird" than "bad" IMO

They really missed calling this Cokies 'n' Cream

“I need you to be able to tell me what’s wrong with this without me explaining it verbally.”

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I will die mad about them not calling the Pepsi and Peeps combo, "Peepsi."

I just had that its not bad.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

A friend of mine tried it and enjoyed it. At the very least, maybe this is hope that we can ditch our collective sugar addiction.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I've seen the oreo part of this partnership but I wanna know if they're supposed to be coke flavored or if they just made 1 side of the cookie red and it's just a regular Oreo otherwise. I would try them if they're actually coke flavored.

I hate zero sugar sodas, though. The artificial sweeteners always taste weird and leave a fuzzy feeling in my mouth that I despise.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

It's delicious and I am totally addicted to it

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I actually liked it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

My brother purchased these exact cans. I hate that this exists.

(he's 13 years old so ye)

Not sure id try that since I'm not a fan of sweet drinks but I'd be curious about coca cola flavored Oreos

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

They are me new favorite

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

These taste almost identical to regular Pepsi. It's kind of a ripoff.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Idk. The aspartame in zero products is so bitter that it's not even comparable.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

My friend has some of those, literally no one will drink them after he forced everyone to take a sip. They're so bad. The coke Oreos are when worse tho.
