Default Coca-Cola Blak?

Has anyone seen it anywhere? Where I work we have it but we can't sell it because it's not in the system we use yet

Has double the caffeine content. Not sure about any other differences though.

It's a mix of Coke and Coffee, my store has had it since Wendesday morning. According to my customer who have tried it if you like coffee and coke it's pretty good, initial coffee taste followed by coke after-taste, yuck if you ask me but I don't like coffee

right from the coke site
"Coca-Cola Blāk is an invigorating and stimulating blend that has a perfect balance of the effervescent taste sensation of Coca-Cola and natural flavors, with real coffee. The lightly carbonated, mid-calorie beverage, which is designed to appeal to adult consumers, is yet another example how The Coca-Cola Company reaches out to new audiences and addresses new beverage occasions."

Which will help them sell it even better.

I'll probably buy one to see what it tastes like.

I tried it a long time ago, it tastes like they mixed a cup of coffee with regular coke.

Dear jebus, I just bought a bottle of this stuff.... please don't buy any more of this stuff people....that'll only encourage them to make more of it.

It tastes like 3 parts flat Cherry Coke, 1 part coffee. To more that worse, it's only a 237ml bottle and they charge $1.00 more a bottle.

So wrong in so many ways.

Yes, its disgusting. I bought two for me and a buddy to try... I actually tried to drink it to quench my thirst, I think I finished the first tenth of it and then went for water. He said he didn't mind it, but I thought it was nasty.

I got it in San Fran a couple of weeks before it went on sale here...brought it back for a coffee loving Coke swilling friend of mine...he drank about a quarter of it...then said something to the tune of 'God, hope they aren't stupid enough to try this up here' *L*
