i don't get the spelling, though... is it to be pronounced "blake," with a long A?
if so that's dumb. if not they're dumb. hehehe
but ya, i'll try it once just out of curiousity.
I'm not sure how to pronounce it either, but my first thought would be "black".

well sure, i would think so too... but they didn't need to get all fancy with the weird A. just something else for nerds like me to wonder about i guess... hehe

It's an attention-grabber, I'm sure. Or else they think they are being sophisticated and European.

I just bought one of these today just to try it. OMFG /puke. It's like they bottled the toxic sludge left on the bottom of a coke can that has set out in the sun for a month. I took half a sip and nearly puked.

I bought a four pack last week. It's way too sweet to drink on it's own but OMG the alcoholic mix possiblities are great. They should market it as a mixer... A white russian with a splash of this stuff would be great! Actually, any drink with kalua, Bailey's, dark rum, whiskey etc would be really good.

I think you're on the right track there. It's way too disgusting on its own but I can see it being mixed.
On its own it tastes like liquified ass.

It's coke mixed with coffee. If it was more bitter and not so syruplike it would be good on it's own but as it stands, it's a mixer IMO.

Yeah doesn't sound too good.

Boyfriend works for Lesco, I will tell him to bring me one home. The benefit of working for a beverage and food warehousing company = free food and drink. If I had to buy it to give it a try I don't think I would, but if he can get me some at work then I will go for it.
PS. Snapple Apple Pie is yum.

Peach Snapple > any other Snapple.
We havent seen any of this in our stores, and I am glad because I think watching Gid drink one of these would make me hurl. I dont like Coke or coffee =/

Odd you should mention the whole mixer thing. I took two sips and went strait for the crown. Was much better after a healthy dose of whisky, altho still an odd combo. Coke's just trying to tap into the energy drink market and not doing a very good job at it. (not a fan of vault either...) Crystal Pepsi was the only fad drink I like.

It's diet coke mixed with coffee.
Would never have guessed. It tastes chock full o' sugar.

Diet coke? Fuck that, I can't stand the taste of artificial sweetners. Also I think splenda tastes like ass, everyone acts like its such a great sugar substitute but I think its nasty.

I can't stand any kind of artificial sweetener either but I honestly didn't taste it at all in this.

I didn't taste much hint of coke at all.

You can get it at any Target in their market section by the energy drinks.

Carbonated and highly sugar'd up coffee sounds like an interesting idea - does anything like that exist somewhere?

its an interesting flavor imo I didnt like it the first time but after trying it after refreig it was ok. Wife loves it tho.
I think of it more like coffee, good coffee is a aquired taste imo
