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???? Shock Shock

I thought I’d just got a bottle that had gone off somehow!

The cherry flavoured Pepsi Max is a pretty good tasting cherry diet cola. They’ve had the sense to leave chilli out of theirs Wink

chilli and cherry?
someone got the orders wrong.
last year they were handing out pepsi ginger. that was great, but coudn't find it shops since...

The Coke Zero peach is vile.

Cherry Pepsi Max is lush. I'm hopelessly addicted to it though and have to limit myself to 2 cans per week or I'd be on it every day.

Thanks for the recommendations, I’m going to get Cherry Pepsi max next time, I get that in KFC and like it! Grin

I love the peach one! The feisty crappy cherry was vile.

rednsparkley · 22/05/2018 21:16

I really like the Pepsi Max Ginger but all the other flavoured coke - Mango WTF!! - is just wrongity wrong!!

Navy0 · 22/05/2018 21:18

Pepsi max cherry is lovely

NaughtToThreeSadOnions · 22/05/2018 21:18

Yep peach is lovely, mango is ok, but I love cherry coke but I hate the feisty cherry! I'm not a massive chilli fan!

Muddlingalongalone · 22/05/2018 21:25

Sounds vile - didn't think anything could be worse than the mango one.
Pepsi max cherry is definitely the way to go

BettyBigBollocks · 22/05/2018 21:29

The feisty cherry really took me by surprise, I thought I was imagining it. It’s spicy and vile! Who wants a spicy drink!?

Peach one is equally vile but at least it doesn’t burn going down.

Pepsi Max cherry it is from now on.

YABU

Coke Zero Cherry is 1000x better than diet coke cherry Angry

MuddlingThrough1724 · 22/05/2018 21:35

Yeah, the fiesty one is a Dr. Pepper rip off and not pleasant. You can get diet cherry coke......or at least you could before this fiesty nonsense version appeared!

NaughtToThreeSadOnions · 26/05/2018 21:24

Thank you to those who recommended Pepsi max cherry.

I was skeptical cos I wasn't that keen on Pepsi max, but I was surprised to find some in my Tesco (the smallest Tesco in the world according to my step dad) and you were all right.

I was gutted not to have a cherry cola I could drink but now you've introduced me to Pepsi max cherry I've got a new drink

GeekyWombat · 26/05/2018 21:27

I thought it was 'fiery cherry' - it's one of my favourite things to drink when I go to America.

Where did you get it from OP?

And can I have the cans you don't want?

LainyM · 29/06/2019 20:00

It tastes the same as regular diet cherry coke! I drank 2 glasses before I knew about the chilli!! I believe knowing about the chilli could effect taste psychologically.

TestingTestingWonTooFree · 29/06/2019 20:06

Pepsi cherry Max is great. This fiery stuff sounds wrong.

puppy23 · 29/06/2019 20:21

I'm not a fan of cherry but I love the mango one - we all went mad for it last year at work when it came out.

Tallgreenbottle · 29/06/2019 20:23

Cherry Coke Zero is WAAAAY better than diet coke cherry.

CosmicVagina · 29/06/2019 20:28

I like it.

Pepsi Max Ginger is like Pepsi and Ginger Beer had a love child, I like that too
