I haven't tried it yet but my wife said it's vile. Similar to cough syrup as you said

>>20305201
I didn't taste the cough syrup, but I was completely underwhelmed. It has no spice, it's weaker than normal coke.

>>20305201
nasty shit, sipped and dropped

>>20305201
>Fuck outta here with this cough syrup tasting ass shit.
Thanks for bringing me back to high school, and remembering when I'd buy a coke from 7/11 every friday, and sneak a shot of robitussin from walmart into it and try not to get caught. I'll have to try this new flavor and see if it makes me wanna end myself

>>20305201

>>20305237
>my high fructose soda is too high fructose-y
why

>berry flavor
Why is it always this shit? Lets get something else. Cinnamon, maybe?

>>20305223
Yeah it's definitely not particularly "spiced".

>>20305211
>cough syrup
bingo. I think the secret flavoring ingredient is menthol and judging by the marketing push Coca-Cola thought they knew something they didn't about whats popular in the urban community. The flavor is vile, but also overpowering. I tried to cut it with half regular Coke and the flavor persists. Tried to add vanilla and cherry syrup and the flavor persists. It's probably peppermint or menthol plus nominal raspberry flavoring.

>>20305201
Tried one bottle, and didn't want to finish it. I'm not big on soda, though.

>>20305201
Maybe it's a seasonal drink that you have to drink warm.

do you think anyone at coke ever suggest drastically lower prices so coke is everywhere all the time? sort of like how they became a giant multinational corporation in the first place

>>20305437
Certainly few people are paying $10 for a case of this garbage. I read a few industry articles and apparently they relied on survey responses and came to the conclusion that zoomers value "unique" flavors so it make sense for coke to choose the objectively worst version of Coke that they've released since no other drink maker would release anything resembling a menthol-flavored raspberry drink.

It's funny to me that both Pepsi and Coke are going after zoomers with two completely different drinks. Starry has had a huge marketing push and is the total opposite: it's a very mild, fruity, clear citrus soda. Starry isn't as good as Sprite or 7up but it's not *disgusting*. Coke Spiced is.

>>20305437
High prices deter the few wise guys who want to enact a soda tax. Also, it could start a cola war with pepsi.

>>20305252
This picture explains it all....

>>20305437
If it was cheap, I'd probably drink 2 or 3 zeroes every day.
As it is now, it's just something I buy here and there.
I don't actually believe it's bad for you generally, outside of the sugar ones being a fuck load of sugar.

>>20305458
>240cal
Jesus Christ how much is that in sugar? 60g?

>>20305486
Yep, 4 cal/gram. Fucking nuts.

>>20305201
>Paying $8 for a 12-pack of name-brand soda
Why.

>>20305486
Starry is more syrup-y than most sodas but it also has less flavor. It's a sweeter but much dryer citrus soda than Sprite or 7up. It's strange but also unremarkable at the same time.

>>20305504
>Orange flavored water is the least sugar
Based? But I'd rather just eat an orange.

>>20305509
It's just Sierra Mist, nobody cares.

>>20305513
Which makes Coke's decision to make this a permanent flavor all that much more strange. Nearly everything new gets made "limited edition" and if you complain you get to hear about how shit the supply chain is. Yet Coca-Cola decides to put out this garbage. It's schizo but it's almost as if they put out a bad product on purpose.

>>20305522
.... Almost like new coke.

>>20305522
Stranger still is that the league of legends flavor was truly limited edition and was glorious and literally liked by everyone

>>20305458
Is starry the one which has ice spice in a commercial? I think it was a Superbowl one.
These companies really are desperate for the zoomer consumer base.

>>20305201
>PERMANENT NEW FLAVOR
Not for long, nobody's buying that shit more than once.

Bring back Starlight

>>20305539
I tried Dreamworld and I thought it was ok, a little too sweet for my taste, but I might drink it occasionally. There were numerous of the Creations drinks that they could have chosen to make permanent then just used marketing to try and target zoomers but they went with an objectively terrible tasting one.

It's like there is someone at Coke who thinks zoomers want to consume bad-tasting food and beverages on purpose.

>>20305201
>not a test
>permanent

how the fuck do you figure

this will inevitably lose money and get scrapped

>>20305616
"Permanent" in this case just means it's not released as intentionally limited edition. It doesn't mean it won't be discontinued, which it probably will be.

>>20305587
They just think zoomers will drink anything blacks like and spiced has tested well in the "urban youf" market, coke must've synthesized lean as a flavor which is why it tastes like cough syrup

>>20305249
they had cinnamon coke at one time. I feel like it could be successfully market as a seasonal Christmas soda.

>>20305653
Cinnamon Coke was 2019.

>>20305249
They're catering to the mass immigration market. If you visit the Coke Museum in Atlanta, they have a room with fountain sodas from all different places in the world and you can try all the different flavors popular in different countries. Some of them (particularly the African flavors) are almost comically disgusting. Most of these new drink flavors like this are just attempts to cater to whatever demographic market they think that can make money on.

>>20305201
just bring it back you stupid fucks

I got a free can from the store...absolutely disgusting. I give it a year and it's gone...I can't see anyone repeatedly buying it.

has anyone tried it as a mixer? if it's less sweet and more "spiced" like distiller's cola, i'd assume that's what it's for.

>>20305252
whyte ppl dont spice they coke

>>20307290
That's the thing, it's not particularly "spiced". It's no joke when people say it tastes like cough syrup. It has a strong menthol-like flavor that persists even when you mix it.

>>20305252
I'm black and my dominican friend made me try this and we both liked it so you might be onto something

>>20307255
I'm assuming you can still make all this shit in those custom soda fountains

>>20305562
Imagine how much landfill trash will be made from this. It's almost universally considered bad. It's like the Coke ET.

>Drinking sodies past the age of 14
ngmi

>>20307290
I really like the Fever Tree Distillers cola but $5.99 for 4 small bottles is steep...also their grapefruit soda is great

>>20305201
>raspberry is a spice
What the fuck is wrong with these people? Is the destruction of language their goal?

>>20307411
I like Boylands but the name makes me uncomfortable. My favorite alt-soda is Jones, though. It's just hard to find sometimes.

>>20305504
These things are so fucking gay.
>omgggg look at the sugarcubes next to the drink you should be VERY AFRAID PANIC RIGHT NOW

>>20305201
>Fuck outta here with this cough syrup tasting ass shit.
I didn't want to try it until now. Are you Jewish?

>>20307640
buy a 12-pack and let us know what you think

>>20305249
I've had lime, orange, coffee, and stardust.

>Moin said customer research for Coca-Cola Creations fed into the development of Coca-Cola Spiced.
>It usually takes Coca-Cola at least a year to develop a new beverage, he said, but Coca-Cola Spiced took just seven weeks.
They made a bad product, rammed it through without any feedback, and made it a permanent item, probably on purpose for whatever reason. Most likely "research" suggested that this flavor would be popular with a certain demo but it would absolutely fail wider taste testing.

they killed orange vanilla for this

>>20307814
Im a big fan of vanilla coke but i heard Orange Coke was nasty. Did the orange vanilla fix it?

>>20305201
Really? they are making this permanent? it tastes so bad. I bought a 2 litre of it and I just couldn't bring myself to finish it; it really doesn't taste good
>>20307255
Legit dude, Coca cola with lemon is good, same with Pepsi twist, I have no idea why they never brought it back

>>20307597
>t. beetus

>>20307860
>you're a beetus if you don't fall for emotional appeals

>>20307310
I'm Dominican and I did not like it, so no. My Black friend also did not like it.

>>20305242
How about you shut the fuck up you stupid ass troon? Nobody gives a fuck about how you're obsessed with the chemical content of everything except your bathtub hrt. I'll get you some 100% rope to hang yourself with.

>>20305201
BRING BACK Y3000 FAGGOTS
THAT'S THE ONLY GOOD COKE FLAVOR TO EVER COME OUT OF YOU BASTARDS

Bought a case a few weeks ago. I like it. Bit of a raspberry taste to it.

>>20305201
>>20305249
>>20305249
They want the dr pepper crowd aka cough syrup lovers.

>>20305201
It was alright.

>>20308729
fat fuck hormone rage

>>20305201
I thought it tasted okay. Nothing really different. Pic related will forever be the GOAT, but I can never find it.

>I like it
>It was alright.
>it tasted okay.

>>20309068
Wrong that was shit too. Starlight was alright.

Feels good being a root beer god and knowing the flavor is already so perfect that it doesn't need gimmick additions

>>20305201
Really? Of all the flavors they've done this is what they stick with? Weird. Explains why the label doesn't look far off from the normal stuff.

>>20309931
Literally any of the Creations flavors would have been better. They wanted to put out a shitty product so they could gaslight their customers that it isn't terrible, even if nobody buys it. Prepare for the ad blitz.

>>20305201
i regret buying a case of these, taste so medicinal
like a great value version of dr. pepper

>>20305201
>implying any soda tastes good and not like carbonated chemicals

>>20305201
The first can tasted terrible, but by the end of the 12 pack it had grown on me. 6.5/10, would probably pick up again for something different, but it's no Dr. Pepper

>>20307497
Wtf I wish my costco had Jones

>>20305201
>still no diet vanilla coke
I can't even find any store that carries a knockoff brand of it.

>>20311894
isn't citrus flavors better for diet sodas anyway?

>>20305211
Yeah it's something with the spices. I love the raspberry coke from the freestyle machines but this shit 100% tastes like cough syrup.

>>20305201
Isn't it made for the lean market, then?

>>20305249
>Cinnamon
I thought that's what Starlight tasted like

>>20305648
>coke must've synthesized lean as a flavor which is why it tastes like cough syrup
Holy shit you're on to something here

>>20305201
great once per week. Otherwise it just taste bad, weird.

>>20309068
you must be joking. Or did they make a y4000 because that one tastes like shit.

>>20309781
Based

>>20305201
I do not care for the flavour

Just tasted like slightly sweeter coke with a hint of clove. It was pretty good but not radically different enough to warrant a new sku.

Tastes like a limited holiday flavor, literally what they should have done with it and nothing else. Yes, raspberry, but medicinal, as others described as cough syrup, and there is a hint of spice, like cinnamon in the aftertaste, but it does nothing for the overall flavor.

>>20305201
I haven't tried it because it's $2.50 for 750ml and $7 for a 12 pack.
And coke is an ESG company.
I drink polar.

>>20307255
They've literally just done that in the UK, was in the Tesco near me last week. And yet they still refuse to sell us Vanilla in anything other than Zero form, after withdrawing the one with actual sugar years ago. I dream about it some nights. Fuck Coke.

>>20305249
They had Cinnamon before, it wasnt very good.

>>20305201
The only good coke is cherry coke from a soda fountain with a bit too much water in the mix.

>>20305648
>>20314418
no poltard it's not 2012 still

>>20305201
It's like they WANT to induce another New Coke situation.

>>20305249
>>20307701
That reminds me, they need to brink Coca Cola Blak back. Shit was weird in the good way.

>>20305504
>sugar is bad
Guess fruit is bad.
