Us yuropoors are in for a right treat. A coke energy drink!
It's like japan's pepsi energy drink but with coke instead!

Supposedly there will be a "full fat" sugar version which is big if true. An energy drink that doesn't taste like shit and isn't filled with aspartame seems to be an alien concept in this neck of the woods.

Anyone tried it yet? It's just been released in the UK.

Red Bull is the nectar of the Gods! Accept no substitute!

so is it just regular coke but with more caffeine?

I hope. That would legit be awesome. I'm (intentionally) not a big soda drinker and generally use coke for my caffeine hits when I need energy so this is right up my alley.

 

[Pargon]

Great. So, Coke with more caffeine at 2-3x the price and in a smaller amount.

 

[Clop]

Oh joy, a heart attack in a can.

 

[User names must be unique]

It's just been released in the UK but with the UK sugar tax it'll either be expensive or filled with artificial sweeteners.

That's Jolt Cola, a drink that was also marketed to nerds staying up late and all.

Awesome. Looking forward to it arriving stateside, because my local convenience station was looking pretty bereft for energy drinks. I mean we only have Rockstar, Monster, Red Bull, Nos, Liquid Ice, Venom, Reign, Jolt, Bang... the one with the spider on the can... and - oh yeah- Mountain Dew Fuck You I Want To Die Edition.

 

[Recoil]

Anyone remember redbull cola? That shit was my jam.
You could really taste the spices.

 

[Exorbital Columnations]

Just sprinkle some crystal meth in 'beverage of your choice' and you'll be GOOD. TO. GO.

 

[Quijibo69]

They need to go back to the old days and put real coke in it.

I'd give Root Beer Energy and/or Dr Pepper Energy a try, but if only if they have 90's branding like Extreme Energy To The Max Plus and advertise it using skateboarding kids. Or like this

Or this

Hell, market it with some cubicle drone coming out of work looking tired, happening upon a bar full of obvious hookers who he thinks are really into him, drinking the drink to try to wake up, having a massive heart attack and then the hookers emptying out his wallet to sell his credit card numbers and organs on the dark net while he turns blue on the floor. Fucking awesome!

1) God, I miss Picnicface.

2) Maybe for Root beer, call it Rooted or Splinter - logo has to look like death metal band's name though. Dr. Pepper - Just call it Pep. Whole advertising campaign would be creepy surreal 40s and 50s style character freaking the fuck out like Seanbaby's "NONE OF YOU ARE SAFE" Popsicle Pete parodies. But a creepy ass clown on the can, ride the Clown World meme to destruction.

Tried it, it’s alright, the price was £1.25 for 125ml (The store had a 2 for £2.50 offer for some reason) but my issue is it didn’t taste like regular coke, it tasted like a cheaper brand of cola but it’s okay.

I don’t often drink energy drinks but I quite like the taste of some them such as Relentless Origin (Usually around £1 for 500ml) or on the cheaper end of things Euroshopper energy drink (30p for 125ml) :spurdo: which taste is pretty close to Red Bull as examples of the price of similar energy drinks.

It sounds like a Mexican coke.
Have you tried those? They are so fucking sweet its almost gross.

 

[DubbleBubble]

I happened to try some fine german Coke Energy and... eh. It's kind of like regular coke but with a hint of that liquid gummi bear taste that all generic energy drinks have. I think if you like coke it's not coke enough, and if you like super sweet/sour energy drinks you wont get enough of that flavor either. It's.. meh.

There's better colas and energy drinks in both quality and taste here so I don't know what they're going for.

 

[Sprig of Parsley]

Coke already owns Monster lock, stock and barrel. Why the fuck are they doing this?

 

[Varg Did Nothing Wrong]

Doesn't Coke own Burn energy?
