Is there a worldwide shortage of Diet Vanilla Coke or is it just local?

Now it's my turn to start a pointless thread big grin

But seriously I have grown addicted to Diet Vanilla Coke and for about the last two weeks I have been unable to find it anywhere. I have gone to 4 or 5 grocery stores and nearly every convenience store in the Twin Cities and I couldn't find any. I often found regular Vanilla Coke, but I only drink Diet soda.

Well that is until today when I was at Target and I found a 12 pack hiding behind the caffeine free Diet Coke. Now I feel a little bit like Elaine on Seinfeld with the Today Sponge due to the fact that I don't want to waste any.

I drink a lot of soda pop...I mean a lot of soda pop. So one day I decided that I probably didn't need like 1,000 empty calories a day so I decided that I would have to drink diet.

At first it was pure torture, but I have found several brands of diet that I really enjoy. For example I think Diet Dr. Pepper, Diet Mountain Dew, Diet Mug, and Diet Vanilla Coke all taste as good as the non-diet varaties.

Anyway...since I switched I make a point of NEVER drinking regular soda so I don't fall back into the habit.

Love Vanilla Coke! Is very rare that I can find a liter in the grocery store. I like my soda out of the fountain anyway cause it just tastes sweeter for some reason and I have only found one place that carries Vanilla Coke in the fountain and thats Rubio's Baja Grill. So I just visit there when I get a vanilla coke craving!
He calls me "Holi" cuz he says everyday w/ me is like a Holiday...

We got plenty of the stuff in Chicago, but they're going dry on the Diet Coke W/ Lemon...that's the REAL shit right there. DiVaCoke smells like cheap perfume and Cookie Crisp.

There has to be some conspiracy...it's like the 'I'll give you the first one for free' thing...they offered 1 liter bottles for $.50 each and were selling it like crazy...and NOW it's no where to be found...they wanted to get us addicted first! eyepop coke

I have noticed that people either LOVE or HATE Vanilla Coke and there doesn't seem to be many people in the middle.

I'm not too fond of it, but you could say I'm in the middle! It's okay. I have a love-hate relationship with Pepsi Twist, too. It has to be ice cold. Warm's nasty.
