The AWESOME taste of Cherry Coke (Not a JAG)

It's delicious...yeah, you may well associate it with the 80s, an era when everyone was fairly easily impressed...Coke, Sprite, Fanta that was pretty much it then...SHAZAM! Out come a variation on Coke with the added zing of that bittersweet cherry taste.

I've just rediscovered the taste, this shall be the summer of Cherry Coke, it could well be the best mixer ever.

Speaking of sugary carbonated drinks, is Vanilla Coke still out there? I haven't seen it for ages, I used to love it with bourbon.

Cherry Coke aside, there remains a hole in my heart that can only be filled by the sheer majesty of Fanta Mango, Christ that was delicious. That Fanta Fruit Twist comes quite close to replicating the taste, but still doesn't quite hit the spot.

Does anyone else remember it? When I was living in Germany in the late 80s it was all the rage, it came in a yellow/red. That really was the nicest drink of all time, I could never find it in the UK, but the Germans loved it, if you had a can of Fanta Mango, a currywurst and a little paper plate of chips from the schnell imbiss that was pretty much all you could ever wish for.

I am quitting my job so shall spend the rest of today trying to find an importer for the aforementioned Fanta.

warning: may actually be leftover cans from the 80's


ARRRRGH!

Fucking Romanians........

The online shop in closed !
because of stock problems we had to close the online shop. Please visit the website again for updates.


cherry coke/Dr. Pepper

whats the difference?


I practically grew up on

cherry coke and biscuit and raisin yorkie bars.
Great combo, endorphin releasin a-go-go.


I <3 Cherry Coke

Never used it as a mixer though.


Yes yes yes

Cheery coke is simply incredible.

Yet here's a strange thing - ammaretto and coke tastes like cheery coke, but ammaretto and cherry coke strangely doesn't taste as nice.

I don't remember Mango Fanta, though. Maybe it was a territory thing. When I was in Tanzania they had passionfruit fanta, holy shit it's the nicest thing EVER I couldn't stop drinking it. But sadly as all drinks there come in glass bottles which you have to return I couldn't bring any back with me


PASSIONFRUIT?

Jesus H Christ!

I am literally salivating at the prospect of that.


I found cherry coke in A CAN

Never before had I seen that. It was amazing, but the shop was charging 99p per can. Fuck dat shit.


do you remember those

big cans of coke you used to get?


please do

it better be good though


nope


You mean the 500ml coke cans?

I remember those.


Go on then.

Kids these days.


oH YES, THE 500ml ones, haven't seen those

in ages.

Speaking of jumbo sized stuff, what happened to those Walkers 'grab bags'?


I've got back into it

tasty shit.
Cherry coke and a joint is the best hangover cure ever


Do 'they' still make Tizer?

There's a couple of excellent mid-80s adverts for the oversweet sticky stuff on YouTube which piqued my interest.


dunno

but Tizer is no more than a glorified, slightly fruity lemonade. and don't get me started on Tizer Ice...


does anyone

remember Quatro from the 80's ? lovely drink that..


Fuck yeah! It was great....

I Germany they called that Mezzo Mix, presumably because Audi threatened legal action.


it was lovely

mixed citrus fruits from what I remember ?


obligatory reply

simply because of my user name :)

cherry coke tastes like cough syrup, in my opinion.


What weird world

do you people live in where Tizer and Cherry Coke disappeared for most of the 90s? bizarre.

Anyway, Cherry Coke is lovely but its a disappointing mixer for vodka. Thanks.


yummy

I really miss vanilla coke and can't find it in shops anywhere!
I think you can still get it in america though.


cherry coke rules

Not available everywhere in Holland, but now and again, they come up trumps


cherry coke

fails even harder than doctor pepper


I have never been happier

than the first time I stumbled into this shop last year- now I take the coach to London just to go there

They sell TAB Clear. That Is All.


my friend went there the other day

he got me some odd foreign version of Cremola Foam (RIP).

Cremola Foam was amazing although I don't know if it ever made it out of Scotland.


Mental,

I'd completely forgotten about that, my Granny used to buy it when I was a kid. I never got it at home so I can only assume it never made it to England. The nation should mourn the lack of a really weird drink.
