Diet Cherry Coke

I have been waiting for a diet version of Cherry Coke for years but now its here I wish they hadn't bothered. Cherries are naturally very sweet so when mixed with the copious amount of sugar in normal Cherry Coke it makes for a satisfyingly sweet and tasty drink. I would not say any real cherries are in the normal version but there is a distinct cherry flavour there that mixes well with the taste of Coke. Diet Cherry Coke by comparison does not even resemble the taste of cherries. If I had a blind sip of Diet Cherry Coke I would probably say it reminds me of very cheap supermarket cola but with an even more horrible taste. I like normal Diet Coke ...  Read the complete review

In my teenage years (not THAT long ago), it's fair to say I was pretty much addicted to Diet Coke. I would often plump for a Cherry Coke, but often felt the guilt that it was a fat boy and not a diet...then low and behold the beautiful people in Cokeland released a diet version - all my Christmas' had come at once! I was a sucker for the brand, I loved the image, the logo, everything. I used to collect anything that had 'Coke' on: Clocks, T-shirts, Sweatshirts (I'll leave it there before I embarrass myself further). However, I can say without bias, I like Diet Cherry Coke very much. It's been around for a while, and I don't think it's going to go away - ...  Read the complete review

I'm a big cola drinker certainly of the Coca Cola variety and their main rival who I shant name but everyone will know. Usally I stick the full sugar versions, as drinking the diet ones had made me ill during my pregnancies and habit made me stick to the more unhealthy versions, but i'm always up for trying new varieties which included the vanilla, lemon and lime verssions as well as the classic cherry coke. I'd never really liked cherry but my husband raved so much about the diet version that I gave in and gave it a try. Diet Cherry Coke was actually released in 1985 but recently in 2005 had it's image revamped in an attempt to raise interest in the drink, ...  Read the complete review

Another Drink review from your permanently thirsty correspondent. Working in a call centre talking all day, surrounded by computers that kick out loads of heat makes me constantly thirsty. The drink vending machines in the office do a roaring trade, infact a large amount of wages is probably recouped through them. Recently the office has been so hot, and so busy, that most of the drinks have been sold out most of the time. This was what lead me to try Diet Coke with Cherry. Now I'm not a big fan of Diet Coke to begin with, it is a bit too watery and insipid to be honest. I was hot and had a dry mouth though, and it was the only drink left in the ...  Read the complete review

Let me start by saying that I am actually a Pepsi fan and tend not to drink much coke at all although I am a big fan of the full sugar version of cherry coke. The diet version which I am about to review on the other hand is for want of a better word disgusting. Although many diet soft drinks can taste reasonably good it seems when you take the sugar from this one the taste goes with it. The facts: For more than a century coca cola has been available in stores across Britain in some format or another, starting of course with the original coke and slowly introducing more variations of the drink. The dreaded diet coke with cherry hit our shelves in ...  Read the complete review
