/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I had one 3 weeks ago from one of those Freestyle machines. I was right to not be hyped for it. It was simply "okay" like all sodas.

Bah, Cream Soda is 10x better.

>>5882216
Yeah I'm probably remembering them wrong. It'd be nice to have for mixed drinks though. I used to love it when I actually liked soda. Now I can't get into anything but ginger ale.

>>5882220
And isn't packed full of caffeine either.

>>5882220
You're making me feel like a grocery store run even though I'm sick. So tired of just water and bolthouse.

>>5882210
They come in 20 oz bottles in every gas station in a 50 mile radius of me.
And in 12 can packs in all the non-walmart grocery stores.
And the fast food places with the freestyle fountains can be good if they have them calibrated correctly.
Are you even trying?

>>5882210
Dude. Put vanilla extract in a glass. Pour coke on it. Ta-da! Vanilla coke. Hell, the carbonation stirs it for you.

This is like bitching they stopped selling cinnamon sugar. If you can't combine two simple ingredients then you probably need to wear a helmet.

>>5882237
Y-yes.. I tried the one at the freestyle fountain and it was awful.

>>5882240
Not all of us are good cooks okay?

>>5882243
You don't have to be a good cook. Just think about what you're doing. Don't overcomplicate things, or buy products that you already have at home for an inflated price.

I do stupid and lazy shit too, but I continually question everything and try to learn from it. Why would I want for anything flavored with extracts, when I can buy that thing and the extracts? It's almost as dumb as that frozen microwaveable grilled cheese.

>>5882258
I was just joking. I do miss vanilla coke but I've only bought it a handful of times because it's never as great as you remember. I just saw that image on another board and thought I'd post it here. I am gonna run to the store for some cream soda though, because I can't make that. Might grab a frozen grilled cheese too. Does anyone have any recommended brands of either?

>>5882210
Vodka + warm coke

Tastes like warm vanilla coke + vodka so good luck.

>>5882276
If I wasn't sick I might try that. Rum seems like it'd be better though.

>>5882291
I wouldn't drink it even if I was in perfect health. Just pointing out, it tastes vanilla-y.

>>5882210

I don't get it. They never stopped making vanilla coke. I just finished the 12 pack that's been sitting in my fridge for like 3 weeks.

>>5882210
My roommate just bought some. I could be drinking one right now if I were a shitty roommate that liked shitty pop.

>>5882516
I got some IBC cream soda. It really is better. You're a jerk though.

>>5882210
I work at coca cola, we have vanilla and vanilla zero. It sells like shit, probably because its only fine for about 2 drinks.

>>5882538
How does it feel to sell cancer and diabetes to idiots?

I just put a bit of vanilla extract in a regular Coke then dump it in the toilet because Vanilla Coke is shit.

>>5882531
IBC root beer is better. I get a sixer of it for like $3.50 at walmart. Best $3.50 I ever spend, every time.

>>5882540
hahahaHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHHHHAHHHH

>>5882549
That stuff is good but I specifically wanted cream soda because it's been years. I was looking for Virgil's but Kroger failed me in a few different ways tonight. Their cheese selection is shit too. I almost walked out with the Kroger brand butter because their selection is 98% margarine but then I got lucky and stumbled on the Kerrygold in the "artisan" section or whatever they wanna call it.

>>5882210
I can buy vanilla coke in a shop 20 seconds walk outside my door

vanilla coke made no fucking sense to me until i added ice and bourbon one night.

>i saw god

>>5882578
Even though I'm a little sick I'm probably gonna do this with the cream soda in a little bit.

>tfw no alcohol since Friday

I literally just finished one

>>5882210

shouldn't it say "you will never ave nnother vanilla coke in your life again"

life not live?

>>5882604
>"you will never ave nnother vanilla coke in your life again"

>>5882604
I uh.. I don't think that's right either. I see your point though.

You're right, I won't, because it's disgusting.

It tastes exactly the same as cream soda and you can buy that for about 1/100th of the price.

How do I quit soda, I'm getting fatter

I liked Vanilla Coke. It reminds me of when I worked midnights at a hospital during college.

>>5883820
Diet soda.

They banned non-diet soda at my high school so I got addicted to Diet Coke.

>>5883828

ugh diet coke tastes like shit, I like a lot of diet sodas but that one is just bad

>>5883828
Diet soda is still terrible, plus it tastes terrible

>>5883820
drink juice instead, it's actually healthy compared to soda. just dilute it in a glass of water for flavor and a little nutrition, not because you need to suck down a glass of sugar.

>>5882210
except i just bought one yesterday at the convenience store down the street.

>>5883846
>>5883830
It's an acquired taste. The reason it's so different is that back in the day they didn't have the technology to make it taste exactly the same.

They worked it out in 2005 though, and it's called Coke Zero.

>>5882265
>I was just joking.

>>5883869
Coke zero still tastes like diet coke

>>5883895
It really doesn't. I love diet coke and Coke Zero is way too sweet for me.

>>5883846

it doesn't all taste terrible, and it's not bad aside for anything other than your teeth (as is regular soda, this is not something exclusive to diet soda as it is from the phosphoric acid)

>>5883869

coke zero is pretty good

>>5883895

I fucking hate diet coke but coke zero tastes dramatically different

>>5882210

Did they ever even discontinue it? I remember it being harder to find about a decade ago, but then it was suddenly everywhere again. I can find it at pretty much any store that sells Coke in my state. Is it just not sold in certain parts of the US anymore, or is it an international deal?
