Anyone try Coca-Cola Blak yet?

[Jessica Boucher]

I decided it would probably be awesome as a replacement for root beer in a float, but not as an everyday thing. It also bothers me that because of the wrap on it I can't see how much I have left, but its not bad

i don't know, i like coffee and i love coke..but together? sounded gross at first, but i'll probably end up trying it anyway. maybe it'll help with the shock of waking up at 5:30 in the morning on the floor in atlanta

Shock? I wake up at that time every day... but I drink between 2 and 4 cups of coffee to do it...

[thatphotochick]

i do too, but it's a different shock in a different place, with 2/3 people who you don't see in the morning, and with the anticipation of the day...in atlanta..it's a shock

If your looking for an alternative jolt to coffee in the morning you should look into caffeinated gum, 2 sticks = 1 cup of coffee.

They have mints, strips and a few other things I think one company is working into caffeinated lotion.

Tried some the other night.

It's more like Coca-Cola Blah to me.

I do not do coffee so maybe its just me.

The bottles are cool looking though, too bad the glass wasn't painted like that rather than the plastic wrap.

Give me a Sobe NoFear anyday.

I tried it yesterday, and it tasted like a sweeter version of coke. Not bad.

i havent seen this anywhere, i might be mistaking it for one of those bottled starbucks drinks...anyone know which stores definately stock it?

[Koko Ed]

I tried a bottle at the championship. It should be called Coca-Cola Blecch!

Bleh, Coke is sweet enough as it is!

I don't think I'll be trying it as I'm not a coffee person at all, anyway.

A couple of posters have suggested that Coke doesn't know how to create new brands. Here's a list of current Coke brands, of which only a couple existed when I was the age of most of you:

Coca-Cola classic
caffeine free Coca-Cola classic
Coca-Cola Black Cherry Vanilla
Coca-Cola Blak
Coca-Cola C2
Coca-Cola with Lime
Coca-Cola Zero
Diet Coke
caffeine free Diet Coke
Diet Coke Black Cherry Vanilla
Diet Coke Sweetened with Splenda
Diet Coke with Lime
cherry Coke
diet cherry Coke
Fresca
Fresca Black Cherry
Fresca Peach
Inca Kola

Manzana Mia
Pibb Xtra

Sprite ReMix Aruba Jam
Diet Sprite Zero
TAB

I suspect that Coke does OK when managing its brand extensions (new products). You'll notice that this list doesn't include the mostly-successful PowerAde, MinuteMaid, Fruitopia, Full Throttle, Nestea, Vault, and Dasani non-carbonated drink brands.
