The worst variation of Coke is still arguably better than anything Pepsi has ever put out. Even so, I can\u2019t say this variation is unforgettable in the same way that some of Coke\u2019s other products are. <\/p>\n<p>Despite the drink\u2019s creamsicle-like aroma, I thought the notes of orange and vanilla fell a bit flat on the flavor end of things. Although I could faintly detect both of them while downing my first bottle, they were no match against Coca-Cola\u2019s distinct taste, and I felt they blended into the soda\u2019s background a little too much for them to be the only thing setting this drink apart from Coke\u2019s other offerings.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Orange-Vanilla-Coca-Cola-in-Glass.jpg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Orange Vanilla Coca Cola in Glass\" title=\"Orange Vanilla Coca-Cola in Glass.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The best way I can describe the flavor imbalance here is that it\u2019s kind of like if you drank a glass of Orange Fanta and neglected to rinse out your cup before refilling it with Coke. You can still taste the Fanta, but it\u2019s not the focus of what&#8217;s now in the cup, and it clearly tastes like something that wasn\u2019t an original part of the soda.<\/p>\n<h3>Is there anything else you should know?<\/h3>\n<p>Although adding orange and vanilla to Coca-Cola sounds simple, the company spared no expense in testing this product before adding it into its official lineup. After being successfully test-marketed in Canada last summer, it\u2019s been stuck in R&#038;D to fine-tune its flavor and advertising campaign before hitting American shelves just in time for March Madness. <\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>While Orange Vanilla Coca-Cola isn\u2019t going to rock the soda industry, it\u2019s a decent enough addition to Coke\u2019s family of Classics. I recommend giving it a shot if you happen to come across a bottle but don\u2019t go out of your way to track one down. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $3.33<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> 6 16.9 oz. bottles<br \/>\n<strong>Purchased at:<\/strong> Walmart<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 7 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (16.9 oz) 200 calories, 0 calories from fat, 0 grams of fat, 0 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 45 milligrams of sodium, 55 grams of total carbohydrates, 55 grams of total sugars, 55 grams of added sugars, 0 grams of protein, and 0 grams of dietary fiber.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Orange Vanilla Coca-Cola?
