Coca-Cola Blak
One of the email forwards I seem to be getting a lot of recently is the homepage for the new "Coca-Cola Blak"
Check it out here.
The comments for it are generally positive, like "sexy," but I did get one that said "gross."
So this weekend at Target the word-of-mouth buzz got to me and I picked up a 4-pack for $4.99. The bottles are small (red bull size) but made of glass and are covered from top to bottom with plastic so you can't see the liquid inside. Does look pretty sexy. It has all the same ingredients as regular Cola except for the inclusion of "coffee extract." "Caffeine" is also on the list. Double whammy of stimulants. I love coffee drinks but the thought of coffee and cola mixed together didn't sound too appealing to me.
How is this supposed cola drink that I spent way too much money on?
Surprisingly, not too bad. I thought I was going to HATE this stuff. Instead, I got to admit I like it. When you sip it, it tastes like cold, mild, sweetened Columbian coffee. The aftertaste is that of regular Coca-Cola. A very strange mix for sure but one that I wasn't too adverse to.
Would I buy it again? Yes, but not for $4.99.
Some other observations: Somehow it's only 45 calories. The color is the same as Coca-Cola classic. The bottle is 8 oz. It does have quite a good amount of caffeine (I feel VERY AWAKE after drinking it).
I have a feeling this is a gimmick that will be failing in the near future. Still, Pop Culture Woman says this is something worth trying.
