New "New Coke"?
13/06/06 00:28 Filed in: Personal
I just wanted to say that Coca-Cola's weird new
coffee-coke hybrid (or fusion as they call it)
tastes... different. Different as in bad, not as in
the "Think Different" ad campaign. Just wanted to
share that... and if you go to coca-colablak.com you
can get yourself a nifty Coca-Cola Blak wallpaper.
Which sadly they don't offer at 1920 x 1200.... such
a pity. And before you ask, "Blak" is a very strange
name, and no I don't know nor do I want to know what
it means or what they want me to think it means.
Also, I find the packaging deceptive... They've
covered the thing entirely with some wrapper, with
streaks down the side that are of a tone distinctly
reminiscent of Coffee.... Problem is though, the
stuff looks nothing like coffee. The streaks down the
side that the consumer may have "mistaken" for clear
portions are simply there to reinforce the idea that
something like coffee is in the bottle, which it
REALLY isn't.
The whole thing is clearly marketed for the wanna-be elite, the site they've got for it makes it sound like its coke for grown-ups.... but I'm plenty grown-up and I'll tell you quite frankly, I don't see myself drinking the stuff regardless of how much more I may grow. (not that growth has much to do with my choice in soft-drinks anyway)
