Well it’s farewell to one of my favourite soft drinks, Vanilla Diet Coke! BBC News Online broke the story last week here, but I wasn’t that bothered, because I thought I would still be able to get it when I was in the US, but not according to this later BBC story! It’s being withdrawn there too!

I like Diet Coke with Vanilla because it’s got a bit more of a softer taste – not as sharp as the other flavoured Diet Cokes, and a bit more interesting than the normal one. Still, at least we’ll be getting (apparently) a Diet Coke with Cherry, and I love Cherry Coke, so it may not be too bad after all!
