I hated Vanilla Coke- Runied the beauty of coke.

Vanilla Pepsi is not avaliable in NZ yet but when it gets here I'll sure give it a go- Pepsi Blue was fowl!!!!!

I was forced to try Vanilla pepsi and it wasn't THAT bad, not as strong as the coke, but being that I don't drink sugar it was TERRIBLE for me.. After not drinking a sugar product in over a year it was very sweet and I felt the need to brush my teeth immediately.. But bf really liked it

I'm with hissy. When I worked for Farrell's, we made flavored sodas by pumping in the syrup the old fashioned way.....cherry, vanilla, chocolate.

Last time I was at Long John Silver's, they had the set-up where you flavor it yourself.

Not being a soda drinker of any kind, I haven't tried either.

We don't have it here yet, but when I was Stateside in August, my nephews and I did a taste test: Vanilla Pepsi, Diet Vanilla Pepsi, Vanilla Coke, and Diet Vanilla Coke. All three of us liked Diet Vanilla Coke the best. Now I just have to find a place that sells it here. I've never been able to find root beer here, and only come across Dr. Pepper once in a blue moon.

Ewww *grabs her 10-foot pole*

Can't stand anything artifically flavored vanilla. Makes me sick, literally.

I'll stick to my Dr. Pepper and RC Cola, thank you.

UH....what's up with all the hate
I actually was about to post that I tried the Vanilla Pepsi and LOVED IT!!! So bah humbug to all you haters!!! LOL!!!! Heeeee! I actually like it better than Vanilla Coke, the coke one has a funny bad after taste. This one is clear and crisp and sweeter. Sherral, you may have a new fan of Pepsi, I was always a Coke fan but uh....it's been awhile for me to drink soda and I'm leaning more towards the Pepsi, although it's the Vanilla Pepsi!!! Sorry!!! Don't throw any eggs at me!!


of course I love the old fashion way with the syrup!!!! I haven't seen that around at all in ages!!

Someone spoke of old fashion syrups...

Want to try something really good?

Add chocolate syrup to Sprite. Trust me on this one.

It's kind of silly to read how so many people get riled up about a dark brown liquid with bubbles in it. I rarely ever drink any carbonated beverages, but the first time I tried Vanilla Coke was in a Slurpee last winter. It was sooooo good like that! A few weeks ago I bought a Vanilla Coke in a bottle and it was okay, but I couldn't drink it all at one sitting. Last week I bought a Vanilla Pepsi on the way to my older sister's wedding and it was much tastier than the Coke. I bet it would taste even better in Slurpee form. That's really the way it should be served.

However, marketing is a battle of public perceptions, not products. Coke will probably do better than Pepsi because they did it first, (not counting any smaller companies). In the end it's most likely that both will lose money. Whenever you extend your line, you don't get more market share because you compete with yourself. You also run the risk of losing customer loyalty or damaging your public perception. Just read some of the replys in this thread. I've read about how large corporations operate and It's fascinating to learn about how they have broken the laws of marketing in the past only to repeat their mistakes again in the present.
