Default Vanila coke (again)

Well I went to stay with my riend and Godson near Ilford, Essex and my Godson mentioned they had vanilla coke in the shop he works in (Indian corner shop). Unfortunately no diet version yet and anyway I was skint. I could smell it on him and it just smelt like cream soda (nothing wrong with that though).


Keep em peeled girls!

Ah. I don't know what one my Godson got. I would have thought it was "The Real Thing" because he is a label slave!

Yes my thoughts exactly, but I am hoping there will be a diet version soon. We don't often get diet cream sodas here. Mind you they won't taste the same! Please, when you are dieting, any thought of a new diet drink is wonderful!

I am still sulking that I cannot get Diet Apple tango. I have only seen the diet orange (hate it) recently. I love the apple one!

Oh, very sharp!!! sorry could not resist that little thought!It just flashed across my brain, which is pretty astounding for 02:18hrs...think I really should try and find the sleep button again now, and see if it might work this time......!

OH DEAR!!!!
actually I REALLY liked the diet coke with vanilla in it an thought it got a definate thumbs up hee hee!!

I suddenly found it in my local Sainsburysin the 500mls bottles and thought it was a refreshing change from the normal diet coke. However, I put the shopping bag (with the bottle in ) in the car and then got it out to try it....it must have got rather shaken 'cos as soon as I twisted the cap it wentWHOOOOSHHHHHHH all over the car , me and everything else withina hundred yards. Well, that was what it felt like, anyway!!!!

bye for now, chicks....Hope you all had a happy and safe Easter!
Love from Teel

Bought the full sugar and diet versions in Wales (from Safeway and Tesco) last week and did actually prefer the diet version - I think the sugar version (which I bought by accident) gave my tastebuds such a sugar overload that I couldn't taste anything else! Now I'm home and have noticed that our local Tesco only has the full sugar version. Typical!
