The article reviews and ranks various Coca-Cola flavors, deeming Vanilla Coke the least appealing. Introduced in 2002, it temporarily left the market but returned in 2007. Critics argue it lacks the cola essence, instead resembling a syrup better suited for coffee. The vanilla flavor is highlighted as overpowering rather than complementary to the original Coke taste. Despite its initial popularity, including a marketing push featuring Simon Cowell, it ultimately struggles to resonate with drinkers as a true soft drink flavor.
The flavor has had quite a journey since it was introduced. Released in 2002, it remained on store shelves until 2005 and made a permanent return in 2007.
The biggest problem for us is that Vanilla Coke doesn't taste anything like Coke, or soda for that matter. We found it to be akin to a caramel syrup.
While we understand what Coca-Cola may have been going for flavor-wise, it seems like the vanilla flavor and the cola flavor are competing rather than complementing each other.
Vanilla Coke launched to great fanfare when it was introduced in 2002, complete with commercials featuring Simon Cowell... It was the first new flavor the company introduced since Coca-Cola Cherry in 1985.
