It's the "no sugar" part that I find the most blasphemous.

[–] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 19 points 1 month ago

and "no calories"

[–] needanke@feddit.org 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Why? I love it, makes it compatible with my Diabetes. I wish more drinks did this so I had something else then water and coke zero to drink in restaurants.

[–] herrcaptain@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

That's fair. I'm certainly not against the concept of drinks with sugar alternatives, but for whatever reason the only one I actually enjoy is Fresca.

[–] TriflingToad@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I like coke 0, but a crossover with coke and Oreo is wild to have both 0 calories AND 0 sugar

[–] littlecolt@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

I prefer to chew my calories, thanks.

Vanilla Coke Zero Sugar is my caffeinated soda of choice. It's pretty good!

[–] littlecolt@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

I wish they'd bring back Orange Vanilla! Importing the Bleach themed coke that was orange vanilla from Japan was expensive and didn't last long.

Mate. No offense I swear and I’m convinced this isn’t what this is, but your post feels like these fake "organic" posts made by marketing firms pretending to be actual human beings plugging their products in "totally normal and not staged" ways.

[–] Mwallerby@startrek.website 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah I see that haha I promise it's not, I'm more a pepsi guy usually anyway 👀 #ad

[–] burgersc12@mander.xyz 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wow, how much they paying to advertise both sides?

[–] rxin@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 month ago

coca cola just got outbidded on OP's contract

[–] rand_alpha19@moist.catsweat.com 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They're okay, but they mostly taste like Vanilla Coke with a faint whisper of artificial chocolate flavour (think Tootsie Rolls). I really don't recommend it unless you want to try a novelty flavour for fun.

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah it was more "weird" than "bad" IMO

[–] Samvega@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

I stopped drinking Coke for some years and now it tastes terrible, like gross sickly medicine. I don't think Coke changed its flavour all that much, I think that I appraised it more objectively and found it severely lacking.

[–] morphballganon@mtgzone.com 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They did switch from sugar to HFCS at one point. The "zero sugar" line is better.

[–] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If you stop drinking all the soda (fake or real sugar) your brain rewires to baseline eventually. And at baseline sodas are disgustingly sickeningly sweet.

[–] Narauko@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Except for Sprite at a McDonalds, because the water purification and soft drink system costs as much as the rest of the store combined.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

This happened to me too. I don't drink sodas but in the very rare occasion there is nothing else I try to pick the zero types, like the other user said, they feel less sweet and less medicine tasting.

[–] djsoren19@yiffit.net 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The Coke flavored Oreos are the more demonic side of this coin. Who the hell thought Aspartame was a good flavor for a cookie?

[–] Baggie@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago

Yeah I tried these, they're like oreos but then a weird coke flavour punches you in the face at some point.

[–] kn0wmad1c@programming.dev 10 points 1 month ago

They really missed calling this Cokies 'n' Cream

[–] flicker@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I will die mad about them not calling the Pepsi and Peeps combo, "Peepsi."

[–] Toneswirly@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I just had that its not bad.

[–] ToastedPlanet@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago

A friend of mine tried it and enjoyed it. At the very least, maybe this is hope that we can ditch our collective sugar addiction.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I actually liked it.

[–] littlecolt@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

It's delicious and I am totally addicted to it

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I've seen the oreo part of this partnership but I wanna know if they're supposed to be coke flavored or if they just made 1 side of the cookie red and it's just a regular Oreo otherwise. I would try them if they're actually coke flavored.

I hate zero sugar sodas, though. The artificial sweeteners always taste weird and leave a fuzzy feeling in my mouth that I despise.

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago

My brother purchased these exact cans. I hate that this exists.

(he's 13 years old so ye)

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not sure id try that since I'm not a fan of sweet drinks but I'd be curious about coca cola flavored Oreos

[–] Pulptastic@midwest.social 2 points 1 month ago

They are me new favorite

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago
[–] Jomega@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

These taste almost identical to regular Pepsi. It's kind of a ripoff.

[–] JakJak98@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Idk. The aspartame in zero products is so bitter that it's not even comparable.

[–] shani66@ani.social 0 points 1 month ago

My friend has some of those, literally no one will drink them after he forced everyone to take a sip. They're so bad. The coke Oreos are when worse tho.
