That actually sounds like it could be quite nice, but I bet it'll be loaded with sugar and caffeine.
The caffeine content, however much, wouldn't bother me, but a high sugar content would . . .

They are planning to introduce a cherry-vanilla Coca-Cola and Diet Coca-Cola, presumably these are to compete with the like-flavored offering by Dr. Pepper.

I don't believe a coffee-flavored soda is something I would buy.

The Diet Coke with Lime is my second choice after (regular) Coke.

I like it too, Antony, in fact Diet Coke w/Lime is my First Choice, as I refrain from any sugar in my diet. That is, as much as is possible.

In the UK (don't know about anywhere else) a new "Limited Edition" version of Pepsi Max . . .

Pepsi Max PUNCH . . .

It's a seasonal version of the world's best no sugar cola, with Cinnamon and Ginger flavours.

I have to say that it tastes really, really nice,

especially when served in a tall glass with ice.

It's a shame it'll be discontinued

after Christmas though, so I'm going to stock up on it. :wink:

A bus stand outside Redfern Park, taken on Christmas Day.

I guess DJGM knew the drink and perhaps knew the actor in the poster as well.

(I forgot to turn off flash)

The regular and diet Vanilla Coke products along with the Diet Coke with Lemon have not been spotted in the local supermarkets, but I have yet to see the new cherry-vanilla products.

The University of Michigan will remove Coca-Cola Co. products from campus, becoming the 10th school to enact a ban over an investigation of working conditions at bottling plants in Colombia. The university will stop
selling Coca-Cola products on Jan. 1st at its main campus in Ann Arbor and at nearby satellite campuses.

Spokesperson Julie Peterson said yesterday , Coca-Cola's sales at the university were $1.4 million in 2005, she said.

Student activists are pressuring universities to stop selling Coca-Cola products because they claim the company has not done enough to stop violence against union workers in Colombia and won't agree to the terms of an investigation.

Ironically, the Diet Coke with Lime was the only variety of Coke I liked. (I'd buy it if they had no Pepsi Max or Pepsi Samba) Now they've stopped selling it at Coles and Woolworths here!

The new Coca-Cola Zero drink reached Australia a few weeks ago. It haven't reached smaller retailers or vending machines (at least I haven't seen those). Can only get them from supermarkets.

I haven't tried the new Zero. Sill like the Coca-Cola (regular).

Are you sure?
I was looking for 7-Up the other day, and I couldn't find it at Woolies. I got them from Coles instead.
