Coca-Cola Blak
Meanwhile, Coke has released Coca-Cola Blak, its coffee-flavoured extra-caffeine less-sugar cola. I'm always intrigued by variants of Pepsi and Coke - have been since I first drank Crystal Pepsi. Part of that is, of course, we don't get that much variety here in Singapore. (Let the Americans be the guinea pigs - or, in this case, the French.) So I wonder what it tastes like...
I'm more intrigued by the nomenclature, actually. Why drop the "c" in "black"? I understand the "oh dropping letters is trendy" idea - but why drop the letter most distinctly associated with Coca-Cola? This faux-trendy name thing has got the stop, in any case. Good Lord, next thing you know, we'll have "Coca-Cola OMG LOL!!".

The french version is said to be carbonated coffee with a hint of cola and sweetened by sugar.
The American version is cola with a hint of coffee and sweetened with High Fructose Corn Syrup and Aspartme.
The French version sounds like how it should be, even though I don't drink coffee myself.
