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

[–] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 22 points 2 years ago

and "no calories"

[–] needanke@feddit.org 7 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] morphballganon@mtgzone.com 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] littlecolt@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years 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.

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 2 years 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 2 years ago (1 children)

Wow, how much they paying to advertise both sides?

[–] djsoren19@yiffit.net 13 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] Samvega@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years 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 need you to be able to tell me what’s wrong with this without me explaining it verbally.”

[–] flicker@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

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

I just had that its not bad.

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

I actually liked it.

[–] littlecolt@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

It's delicious and I am totally addicted to it

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 2 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

They are me new favorite

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

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

(he's 13 years old so ye)

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

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

[–] JakJak98@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] shani66@ani.social 0 points 2 years 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.
