9 Nasty Truths About Your Favorite Foods
Famous Death Row Last Meals
I have to admit that I had mixed feelings about tasting Coca-Cola Blak. After I mentioned its release a few weeks
ago, the amount of hype seemed to go through the roof. People loved the idea or people hated the idea; there was
no middle ground. I assumed that I would not really like it before I tried it. After all, a drink that was hyped as
much as Blak couldn't be good - could it? The thing that I failed to take into consideration is that I love coke and I
love coffee. I also really liked Coca Cola Blak.
Let me say that it is definitely not a soda for everyone. I almost felt like I was cupping a coffee, which is the process where you sip and sniff and seek out all the underlying flavors in a sample of coffee. The coffee flavor was strong enough that I automatically looked for flavor notes, which I found. The drink tastes quite strongly of caramel, or perhaps burnt sugar without any bitterness, and there are similar fruity notes to the ones I like in my coffees. There was a good amount of bubbles - not so much as to be distracting, but Blak still fizzed like mad when poured into a glass. The only negative is that it is quite sweet. I wouldn't mind a small reduction in sweetness, but overall, they did pretty well with this drink.
Did it taste like coca cola? Not really, but it did taste good.

But $1.35 a bottle is steep, especially for such a small bottle, and its difficult to find. But once I found out how amazing it tastes with Gosling Bros. Bermuda Black Rum, I really didn't care how much it cost. It was almost a religious experience.

Can't afford to drink nearly as much as I'd like. Frappies are my preferred drink. Expensive, but more value (ie, more caffeine). And at Walmart, a 4-pack of Starbucks' product is cheaper than the fancy Coke you want to sell me.

It was a carbonated coffee drink in a can (no milk or cream in it) and it came in regular, and hazelnut flavors. It was really awesome and I used to buy several six packs at a time to take back to NJ. Interestingly the company was bought by Coca-Cola and then disappeared from the market. Blak tastes like a milder, sweeter version. I really like it but the bottles are too small and the price too high. $6.99/4 pack in Stop & Shop, NJ. Now I'm trying to concoct my own recipe for Blak so I can make it in a 2-liter bottle, any tips?
