Not the coffee and cola fused Coca-Cola Bl\u00e3k inside, just the bottle itself sucks.<\/p>\n<p>Why does it suck?<\/p>\n<p>Because I can&#8217;t use it in a bar fight.  <\/p>\n<p>What good is a glass bottle if I can&#8217;t break it and use it as a shiv to stab some guy messing with my woman?  Also, forget about christening a ship with it.<\/p>\n<p>I made a little video to show you how strong these bottles are.  <a href=\"\/images\/cokeblak.mov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Check out the video here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Come on, when you got to stab someone with a broken glass bottle, it needs to shatter on the first whack on the edge of the bar, maybe two whacks at the most.  <\/p>\n<p>Because if it doesn&#8217;t, you&#8217;re in danger and you can expect the following things to happen to you:  someone stabs you with their own broken glass bottle shiv; someone hits you from behind with a barstool; or your body gets dragged across the bar, clearing everything off of it.<\/p>\n<p>Now you&#8217;re probably asking yourself, &#8220;Couldn&#8217;t he just take someone else&#8217;s bottle?&#8221;  I don&#8217;t want to take someone else bottle and shatter it, just to stab someone, because that&#8217;s just plain rude, especially if they just opened it.  That&#8217;s a total waste of alcohol, unless it&#8217;s a light beer, then that&#8217;s a totally different story, because they may not realize it, but I&#8217;m doing a favor for that person I took the light beer bottle from.<\/p>\n<p>The reason why the Coca-Cola Bl\u00e3k bottle won&#8217;t shatter is because there&#8217;s this wrapper around it, which has all the fancy graphics and the nutritional information.  Coca-Cola could&#8217;ve just put a sticker with the fancy graphics on the bottle like every beer does, because beer companies know that beer bottles make great shivs.  <\/p>\n<p>Also, you don&#8217;t really need nutritional information, because there really isn&#8217;t much nutrition in Coca-Cola Bl\u00e3k.  There&#8217;s 45 calories, zero grams of fat, 30 milligrams of sodium, 12 grams of carbs, 12 grams of sugar, and zero grams of protein per eight ounce bottle.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s another problem with the Coca-Cola Bl\u00e3k bottle, it&#8217;s too damn small.  I wish it came in a bigger bottle, because that means more Coca-Cola Bl\u00e3k and a bigger shiv, unless it shatters and all you have left is the bottleneck, then it doesn&#8217;t really matter.<\/p>\n<p>As for the Coca-Cola Bl\u00e3k itself, it was surprisingly really good.  When I opened the bottle there was pleasant spicy and coffee scent, which really grabbed me and punched me in the nose.  If I was able to shatter the bottle and stab some guy in the face with it, he would definitely notice that pleasant spicy and coffee scent.<\/p>\n<p>After drinking it, I was surprised by the fact that the coffee taste didn&#8217;t overcome the cola.   After all, coffee is strong enough to overcome drug sniffing dogs when trying to smuggle cocaine into the country.  Also, I was surprised by the lack of the typical coffee bitterness.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Coca-Cola Bl\u00e3k definitely creates a very delicious fusion of coffee and cola.<\/p>\n<p>But the bottle still sucks.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Editor&#8217;s Note:  The Impulsive Buy will not be responsible if you attempt to shatter the Coca-Cola Bl\u00e3k bottle and injure yourself due to the bottle shattering or any other accident.
