Vault

[theworm[$]]

not the sport - the drink.
It's probably not healthy, but I just discovered it yesterday and I will soon be addicted. Sometimes I need coffee, but don't have time to stop at DD. The Circle K coffee isn't worth the money - and sometimes I want a cold drink.

Coca-Cola has a new drink "Vault" Regular and Vault Zero.
I bought Zero yesterday and today.
It has a sort of lemon lime flavor
0 Calories
0 Fat
only 30 mg Sodium - which isn't bad
0 Carbs.
Caffeine.
It helped me wake up - and that says a lot.

Of course there was a report today that Soda has benzines that can be cancer causing, but until I hear more facts - I'm loving Vault Zero. And the 20 oz bottle was only $0.89! cheaper than water, coffee or soda.

Where's the soda report?

I'll be back....

Isn't it much like Mt. Dew? My mom bought tons of it for my boys because it was 2/1.00. I didn't drink it because it wasn't Zero.

[theworm[$]]

Similar to Mt.Dew. I actually like the taste of Mt Dew better, but doesn't this have less carbs?

Did y'all see they are rebranding TAB>??? They kill Diet Vanilla Coke and start marketing TAB as an energy drink.

*sigh*

TAB - beverage of BobCat Goldwaithe.

I used to love Tab, but are you serious? They're killing Diet Vanilla? That's just wrong!

Coke has a brand dilutioni issue -- too many flavors/varieties. Throw caffeine free and diet and sizes on top of all their flavors and you have a mess.

Delia, Red Bull and Rock Star both make sugar free, caffeine-laden drinks as well. (I mean, I've heard that....but RS costs less)

Diet Vanilla Coke (and regular Vanilla Coke) was discontinued at the end of 2005, and replaced with Black Cherry Vanilla to try to compete with Dr. Pepper. Makes sense to me... NOT.

We stockpiled it. I have about 20 cases and another 30 or 40 2-liters in our basement.

But doesn't Red Bull taste icky?

I liked Diet Vanilla!
I hate Black Cherry Vanilla - almost as much as I hate Dr. Pepper.
They had better not touch the lime!

Put enough vodka in it and you won't care.

[theworm[$]]

That sort of defeatst he purpose of having caffeine to keep me awake during the morning commute.

7Up now has some sort of vitamin-added version

[theworm[$]]

Do you mean 7Up Plus? I love that! It's 7Up with a tad of juice and its really good!

[mtomm[$]]

The Cherry-Vanilla Coke is pretty awful.

Never liked Tab ever since I was deceived as a child by the pretty pink can. They don't sell around here anyway.

Personally I'm really liking the peach-flavored Fresca. But alas no caffiene in it. Maybe that is a good thing sometimes.

I was devastated when I discovered that my Vanilla and Diet Vanilla went away! Those were my absolute favorites. Hate the Cherry Vanilla stuff.

I tried the 7Up Plus stuff when I was visiting my parents this summer and actually liked it a lot. There's some in my fridge right now.

Hubby laughs at all the flavor experiments and insists on calling them by their full (long) names. His favorite is "Diet Black Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper Soda Fountain Classic."

Coke is the biggest bunch of yutzes ever (see also New Coke). They claim the Vanilla line wasn't doing well, but EVERYONE I talk to drank it.

[theworm[$]]

Maybe we can get it back if we all ask them.
They did get rid of new coke. We want our Vanilla back!
