Melissa<\/a> picked up this bottle for me during her trip to Japan because I begged her to. She also tried it once she got back to her hotel and iMessaged me that she couldn\u2019t taste any apple.<\/p>\nWhen I finally got the bottle of Coca-Cola Apple (and a bag of roasted chicken Lay\u2019s she bought for me during her 2018 trip to France), I was expecting my taste buds to experience what hers did.<\/p>\n
When I twisted off the cap and took a whiff, I could easily detect apple under the cola aroma. Then I took a sip. To be honest, I didn\u2019t get any apple flavor with that first one. So after taking a second sip, I let the carbonated beverage sit in my mouth and swished it around like it was Coca-Listerine. <\/p>\n
I imagine those of you in the dental field are screaming \u201cNO\u201d at your screen. But it was worth it because now I could notice the fruit with every sip. (I don\u2019t know why that worked.) It tastes like a combination of Coca-Cola with more than a splash of apple juice. It\u2019s mild, and I didn\u2019t get it at first, so I can understand how my dear wonderful, smart, and beautiful friend who bought me this bottle and is probably reading this review, wasn\u2019t able to notice it.<\/p>\n
Now, I don\u2019t know if this contains apple juice because I can\u2019t read the ingredients list, despite many years of C\u2019s in Japanese language classes. But it sure tastes like it does, which makes this cola quite pleasing to me.<\/p>\n
But if you want to obtain an apple-flavored Coca-Cola the expensive way ($12-$15), you can do so by picking it up via eBay or from an online Japanese snack seller, like NapaJapan or J-List. Or you can pick it up the super expensive way, by flying to Japan.<\/p>\n
Coca-Cola Apple is definitely not worth getting via the super expensive route, but, because it tastes like it has apple juice, it might be possible to recreate it at home, if you can figure out the right Coke-to-juice ratio. I think it\u2019s an experiment worth trying.<\/p>\n
