Diet Coke with Cherry

I loved it, very tasty, would recome

I bought a 500 ml bottle of this product by mistake. The label had 'DIET COKE' in huge letters but 'cherry' in tiny letters at the bottom. The contents were revolting, being a sickly chemical solution with a nasty aftertaste and no thirst-quenching effect whatsoever' Definitely a case of 'once sickened, twice shy', I shall never buy this again.

I am a huge Coke fan, and I love new different types of Coke, but there is something about Cherry Coke that is horrible. One thing is that it is very sweet. If you live in the UK you will know that diet Cherry Coke is very rare, but normal Coke with cherry is still popular, and it tastes much better. So if you're going to have Cherry Coke, get the normal coke, NOT DIET.

Coke was invented as a medicine. Now Diet Coke with Cherry is the perfect drink to have with a meal. It seems to add a zest which makes food go down that bit better. It has no vitamins or minerals in it and can make you more thirsty as you drink it, so that is a problem. I keep to the 330ml can where possible, cooled in a fridge so it is at just the right temperature when it is drunk.

Coke has the X factor, a paradoxical factor that makes it one of the best of things, no wonder it is the no. 1 trade mark in the world, as it is it the 'X' factor, an emptiness that is just what is wanted.

I love cherry Coke, so when the diet cherry came out, I thought that it would be tasteless, but I was proved wrong. There is a lovely taste of cherry. In fact, you don't think that you are drinking a diet drink.

Now I buy diet cherry coke every week with my shopping, and I've lost 5lbs, so give it a go.

I saw Diet Coke with Cherry in the store and thought I'd give it a try. Presentation was the usual 500ml bottle. I opened the bottle and took a swig. The first thing that struck me was that, unlike normal Diet Coke, there was no icy tongue tingling zing. It was more like a fizzy syrup experience. Not thirst quenching in any way. Once the liquid had left my mouth there was a distinct aftertaste. It was unpleasant. A sour, oily cherry feeling that almost had me gagging.

I couldn't finish the bottle. I deposited it into the nearest bin with a feeling of relief. I'll stick to the standard Diet Coke.

After disappearing from our shelves for what seems like eons, Coca Cola have come to their senses and re-instated Diet Coke with Cherry to the nation. I have missed it so much and after taking my first sip, I remembered why I loved it. The taste is delicious and hasn't changed from it's glory days unlike Diet Dr Pepper (complete with the new name of Dr Pepper Z but unfortunately with a new, unlikeable, taste) All the taste but without the calories. Perfect.
