Coca-Cola Blak????
 

Website

Yes, I typed it right...BLAK

Apparently it's going to be a cross of Coke and coffee??? Sounds disgusting to me.

Wikipedia said it was released in April. Has anyone tried it??

This makes me all :confused: :confused:

Tried it, though I don't like coffee.

It was... interesting. It did manage to taste like coffee and coke and wasn't that bad.

If you like cold coffee it might be worth giving it a try.


Note though: it has sugar and artificial sweetener. My boyfriend doesn't react well to artificial sweetener and since it wasn't diet we didn't think to look twice.

I thought it was gross.

Hi welcome to 2 months ago...

This product is disgusting.

Hi, not everything gets released in all markets at the same time. And there wasn't a thread (or anything on it) so I started one.

When I was in Peoria, IL, we had all kinds of crazy test products that no one else has heard of. Charlotte's on the tail end of that.


In any case, I can't handle the aspertame, so unless I could try the French version that has real sugar, I'll pass.

When I went to Vegas a few weeks ago they were handing out free bottles of it. I didn't particularly care for it, although it wasn't HORRIBLE. It kinda tasted like coffee candy to me.

I guess we're not cool like that, because we're not from SoCal.

What's a Manhattan Special?

Manhattan Special's Website

Looks to be the same concept. I've never heard of that either.

I think that was a metajoke about people who nitpick threads with snarky ass replies.

-RC
--Hi welcome!

Wow, really??:rolleyes:

And can you explain to me how 2+2=4, because I don't quite get that either.

-Alpha
--That was sarcastic, in case you missed that.

You win!

Nice Pix of Brotherr Harry S Truman, thanks.

Sell in the store.

Told Me it tasted like Kahula and Cream.

Customer tried it and said it tasted like burnt coffee!

I dont do coffee!

It's been out for awhile and I saw it in WalMart awhile ago so if theres a Walmart in whatever trashy hole in the wall city y'all live in you should have seen it. Plus its caused a bunch of controversy bc some groups are saying Coke is blantantly targeting the African-American community with their advertising community.

Wow, obviously someone can't stomach the shit they dish out.

I'd hardly call Charlotte, NC a hole in the wall, but we're not real big on the Walmarts down here. I believe there's 2 in the entire city. And I'm not sure why targeting a specific ethnic population would be controversial. It's certainly not a new idea. You don't see Hawaiian Tropic targeting Hispanics or African Americans, are the white people outraged at being targeted??

So who cares if they are? If the African-American population is their target market, what's wrong with that?

Ditto.

Coke just wants to sell products. Perhaps black people tend to drink Pepsi so Coke's trying to expand their market. Regardless everyone's been blatently targeting their markets for a while now and its silly to get upset if your group is being targeted. Even sillier to get upset on behalf of someone elses group.

Its advertising, not a missile.

Huh? Well then, what about White House/Black Market?

People who get offended by the name of a SODA have way too much time on their hands. They'd probably get offended if it was Coca-Cola WHITE too. That's one of the reasons we still have racism...people focus too much on it. It's SODA...a BEVERAGE...you DRINK it. Shouldn't we focus more on cutting down on crime, violence, hate crimes, poverty, and drug use than bitching about a soda. Seriously...

This sounds just plain nasty!

Somehow i think it was Coke Blak because of the coffee and not because some executive thought "gee if we call it black, black people will drink it! BRILLIANT!" :rolleyes:

It may be a Brooklyn thing, I dunno. I've never heard of it.

why can you only get a Manhattan Special in Brooklyn?:confused:

also, what is it? It sounds like something you would pay for in the back room of a laundry mat in china town, and then some funky soul music from the 70's comes on as you leave with it in a plain brown paper bag. Not plain. It should be one used by local grocer, with their trade mark or whatever on it. Yeah.

I think it's a small thing with only a few distributors. I asked people about it, and no one I know has heard of it.

I think you're just imagining it.

The local grocer had Coca-Cola Blak stacked near the checkout aisles. Just the packaging alone turned me off from wanting to try it.

Yeah so I tried it the other day and it was pretty gross. It tasted like mixed kahlua with coke.
