Yeah, I never learn...

In spite of many warnings, most specifically from cadhla, I hold in my hand a bottle of CocaCola Blak. Well, technically not in my hand, I mean, I had to put it down to type this, but you get the idea.

Hmm - Coffee extract listed BEFORE phosphoric acid? AND added cafffeine on top of that?

*twists off cap*

*sniffs*

Smells like an infernal combination of coke and burnt coffee. This is not a promising sign...

Though on the second sniff I find I actually kind of like it. This is not a promising sign about my sanity.

*sips cautiously*

First note is sort of sweety-caramel.

Then OMG ATTACK OF THE FIZZ IT BURNS IT BUR....ah - it stopped.

The you get a heavy hit of syrupy Coke flavor - kind of like when my mom used to give me a teaspoon of Coke syrup when I had an upset tummy.

Finally a long lingering mouth feel of burnt coffee. Bleh.

In conclusion, not as awful as I had been led to believe but overall just kind of gross. And I think it's giving me heartburn, after 3 cautious sips.

CocaCola Blak. Just say BLAAAAAAAAAK!!!

(I'm gonna go eat something now. 'Cuz, like...ew)

You'll see....you'll have the other three bottles from the pack gone by tomorrow and won't know why....it'll happen

Ok, I'm curious now. What are the ingredients, specifically, the sweetener?

[wendyzski.livejournal.com]

Carbonated water, high-fructose corn syrup, caramel color, natural flavors, coffee extract, phosphoric acid, potassium sorbate & potassium benzoate, caffeine, aspartame, acesul famne potassium.

Thank you for saving an innocent from the experience. I had not heard of this evil before this post and now I know that it should be avoided. :)

My boss brought in a bottle of that the other day for taste testing. It was....weird

[wendyzski.livejournal.com]

Yeah - that's about right. Not mind-numbingly awful, just...wierd.

I tasted something last night with smoky caramel notes - it was Glenfiddich 15.

[gramercy.livejournal.com]

I liked it!

In a cautious, I can't really drink this because I don't wanna over caffeinate the fetus kinda way.

I ask you, "How much more Blak can you get than that?"

And you must say, "None. None more Blak."
