:: YUCKAWWWWWW!!!!! ::. Review on Vanilla Coke

WAKAAAWWWW!!!!!

The catchy jingle mesmerised me when I first saw it on TV (what with Vivek Oberoi playing badminton and scarpering about as if on wheels!). For once, I really believed that ads DO make an impact on young minds (I'm only 16!) which happens to be all the better for Coke as the trend these days is 'Catch 'em Young!'

Feeling some loose change jingling in my pocket while on the bus home from college the next day, I decided to do an Oberoi and arm myself with the 'Wakaw Drink'as it has come to be known. 'Feel the smooth, creamy taste of vanilla rush down your throat while enjoying the familiar icy-crisp taste of your favorite drink', read the ad in the store, and this, in fact, evoked much more curiosity than excitement in my mind.

COKE + VANILLA?

I wasn't sure if this was going to work out! I rather expected that it would be the same as eating vanilla ice-cream (I love vanilla ice-cream!) and drinking coke at the same time, but when I took my first gulp, quivering with anticipation, I choked! My throat was on fire!!! The horrible coldness of it made the whole thing even more awful! Imaging drinking hot and freezing fire at the same time, overloaded with some chemical known as 'Vanilla!'

What I mean is, ladies and gentlemen, the entire incident was just horrible! I never imagined that the world's leading soft-drink make would ever make such a terrible mistake! The concoction they have brewed tastes horribley like the cough-syrup I used to take when I was 3 years old. You can imagine how horrible it must have been if you take into account the fact that I still remember its taste after all these years!

I downed the awful stuff somehow (I had spent a shiny new 5 rupee coin on it, after all! No need to mention how much I regret it now!), slammed down the bottle (which, mercifully, didn't shatter into pieces or they would have charged me another 50 rupees!) and ran out of there, gut burning.

As soon as I had resolved never even to look at the stuff again, I felt I really needed to warn others, so here I am on Mouthshut! The point is, people, if you ever see Vivek flashing a bottle of Vanilla Coke at you again, just ask him if he's ever tasted the stuff - I'll bet he'll cancel his modelling contract with Coke as soon as he does - his fan circle is at stake, folks! Conclusion - NORMAL COKE IS MUCH MUCH MUCH NICER, DON'T GET THE DIMPLED VIVEK TO CHARM YOU WITH HIS LOOKS AND BUY THE STUFF!!!

YUCKAWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!
