Diet Coke with Lemon - good or bad?

[Rodgers]

For Americans on this site - I'm aware that you have about 50,000 different varieties of Coke already, but over here they just released Diet Coke with Lemon and it's great! What do you think Brits? Good or bad?

If any Brits have been drinking this stuff for months already or never heard of it, I'm sorry. There does seem to be some weird confectionary/soft-drink distribution policy in this country that means some areas get new products and others dont.

I remeber the limited edition Mint Kit-Kat - it was great but no one i knew in London had ever heard of it. They withdrew it in the end and decided the way to get more people to buy Kit-Kat was not to make the flavour better but to withdraw that fantastic wrapper it came in and put it in a plastic bag instead - the wrapper was half the fun. Also, no one down there could get Skittles for years (we 1st got them in the late 80's).

Anyway, what do you think of the drink. If you've never heard of it what about the Kit-Kat travesty?

I looked at the Diet Coke with lemon in the shop but decided that at the time I was very thirsty and didn't want to risk it being disgusting and end up throwing it away.
The Kitkat question though! I blame Nestlé for it! The old wrappers were great and especially the mint (delicious - finest chocolate bar around they were ) and orange (pleasant change but no great shakes) wrappers with the green and orange foil respectively. A sad loss and indicative of the malaise at the heart of this once-great nation. Oh, er, oops. I became Mr President for a second there . Anyway, I wish that people wouldn't change things purely for the sake of it - this is Britain's favourite chocolate bar for God's sake!

Mint kitkat? Cool.

Ugh, lemon coke. I am sure it tastes alright... but think about what it does to your teeth

I stick to Pepsi products, but if there were a Pepsi with lemon (poh wait there is) I wouldn't try it. As for Kit Kat, they are good, but MINT??? I want one!!! I think Denver used to be a "test market" for different products before, but I don't know now... Only thing I can mention is the Big Kat. One big candybar sized Kit Kat...

See how rubbish this country is? The Yanks get to talk about VANILLA Coke! (and no doubt loads of other cool varieties only available outside the UK - see other thread). Last one out turn off the bloody light

revolting because it is a waste of the lemony taste. Please, stop cola threads.
