What the hell is this poison ... Diet Coke Fiesty Cherry??

I wanted some Diet Coke Cherry flavour. They only had “fiesty Cherry”. How the hell can Cherry be fiesty I thought? And bought it presuming that it was just a marketing gimmick renaming Cherry Diet Coke. Wrong!!!!! It’s Cherry... with chilli!!! I don’t want chilli in my bloody cherry coke!

Even more infuriating is that you can only get classic Cherry in normal coca-cola (with the sugar). Diet Coke is the one version I actually prefer the diet version of the drink (I blame having to drink 50 bottles to save tokens to get a Micky mouse pendulum clock when I was a teenager. Still have the clock, and the Diet Coke addiction!)

Aibu to want a diet cherry without sodding chilli????

Chilli?! WTAF? Thanks for the warning.

UpstartCrow · 22/05/2018 20:42

Chili gives me cystitis

Snape · 22/05/2018 20:42

I like it, it tastes like Dr Pepper

Patienceisvirtuous · 22/05/2018 20:43

Ha ha! It’s ok. Catches the throat a bit 😬

hungryhippo90 · 22/05/2018 20:44

What the fuck? am I u to recommend cherry Pepsi max?

Scoogle · 22/05/2018 20:45

Oh god it's rank. I bought some the other day. It was vile. It burns

CheeseRollingChampion · 22/05/2018 20:46

You can get Coke Zero cherry. It's much much nicer.

3legs · 22/05/2018 20:46

Tried it and it was absolutely vile - I have drank some terrible things in my time, but this is top 3

jaseyraex · 22/05/2018 20:47

As a fellow Diet Coke addict, the fiesty cherry one is vile! Not keen on the mango one either tbh. I often wonder how you get the job of taste testing these things, and how broken people's taste buds must be to approve these flavours.

I wish they'd bring back Diet Coke vanilla. I spend a fortune on getting a cup at those freestyle machines.

FrozenMargarita17 · 22/05/2018 20:47

I had this and reeeeeally disliked it. The mango one is nice though!

Loopytiles · 22/05/2018 20:48

I am a dr pepper zero fan but it’s hard to find. The new coke one sticks in my throat in an unpleasant way.

SmilingButClueless · 22/05/2018 20:48

I thought it tasted different. Hope they bring the original version back.

Patienceisvirtuous · 22/05/2018 20:49

I’m not trying the mango one out of principle! Frigging mango and dc! NO.

SadieHH · 22/05/2018 20:49

Chilli?? Is that what's in the bastard stuff?? I thought my throat was going to peel off, it was vile. YY to vanilla Diet Coke, I miss that so much.

9amTrain · 22/05/2018 20:50

I tried it and it tasted like 99.9% diet cherry Coke with maybe a hint of ginger? Not the awful throat burning diarrhea experience everyone's on about....

9amTrain · 22/05/2018 20:51

The mango one is horrible.

PsychoPumpkin · 22/05/2018 20:52

Am I the only one who didn’t notice that it wasn’t just cherry?

SabineUndine · 22/05/2018 20:53

You think you’ve got problems? I had a can of lemon Fanta the other day and it was full of sweeteners. I thought I was buying the full fat version. Apparently it’s ALL got sweeteners in now.

EventNotInData · 22/05/2018 20:54

I tried it and rather liked it. Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference Berry and Chilli infusion OTOH gave me disastrous cystitis.

SmilingButClueless · 22/05/2018 20:54

Pepsi Max ginger is also nasty but at least it doesn’t try to hide what it is

crazycatgal · 22/05/2018 20:55

I didn't even notice that it had chilli in it until I was told afterwards. The mango is delicious.

Rainboho · 22/05/2018 20:55

The mango one doesn’t taste of coke at all, more like the old mango lilt.

I have switched to Coke Zero Cherry.

19lottie82 · 22/05/2018 20:56

I quite like the mango Diet Coke, but cherry Pepsi max is the best.

Fatted · 22/05/2018 20:57

Get yourself some Pepsi max cherry, much nicer than diet coke cherry ever was.
