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

and "no calories"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months 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.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months 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.

I prefer to chew my calories, thanks.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

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

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months 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 2 points 3 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months 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.

They really missed calling this Cokies 'n' Cream

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

I just had that its not bad.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

It's delicious and I am totally addicted to it

[–] daggermoon 4 points 3 months ago

I actually liked it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months 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.

[–] Etterra 3 points 3 months ago

I heard about this travesty. Although likely it's probably just modified vanilla coke with some chocolate flavor mixed in.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

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

(he's 13 years old so ye)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

They are me new favorite

[–] Jomega 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] JakJak98 1 points 3 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months 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.
