  • I am not a fan of this brand because nearly all of their products have artificial ingredients in them. The prices of the drinks themselves remain high despite the poor ingredients in them. The only good thing from them is their Vanilla Coke flavor.

  • Is there anything better than a icy cold Diet Coke?! Mcdonalds sells my favorite diet coke, then second favorite is when they come in the glass bottles! I swear a McDonalds DC revives me from a bad hangover!

  • I never expected to find Coca-Cola on Thingtesting but here it is. This is the most universally known soft drink in the work, in my opinion. I've been to 14 countries and I've always Coke or a Coca-Cola product. In the US, I most enjoy Caffeine-Free Diet Coke and Coke Zero. When in Europe, I loved Coke Light with Lemon and Vitamins. I found it regularly in Germany and Italy but never in the US, which is too bad because it has the most delicious flavor. I mean, how can you go wrong with a Coke?

  • Coca-Cola is a timeless classic! The taste is refreshingly crisp, with just the right balance of sweetness and fizz. It’s always been my go-to drink for a quick pick-me-up, and it never disappoints. Whether served ice cold or with a meal, Coca-Cola is a satisfying, iconic beverage that’s been a favorite for generations. Simply unbeatable!

  • Everyone has a different opinion, but a fountain Coca Cola is far superior than a can or bottle—and an international (or "Mexican Coke" glass bottle) is even more elite than a fountain Coke. It's always most enjoyed and delicious cold, but not with ice because it waters it down. I'll take a Coca Cola as a treat when out on a hot day and I purchase for guests and for drinks/mixes, but it's not something I regularly consume due to the chemicals and bubbles. Lastly, original is best! The other versions are great for their growing suite, but nothing compares to the original.

  • I don’t care for Coca Cola. But it’s ok. I would drink it if was mixed with something or have some flavor in it.

  • I mean Coke Zero is amazing in its own right and lane but with all of the healthier alternatives to soda coming out. I’m done with coca-cola and other soda brands

  • I’ll start by saying I’m a Diet Coke girlie. Do I like being a Diet Coke girlie? No. I’d love to not crave the crisp bubbles of a canned Diet Coke. When I need my fix only a McDonald’s, glass bottled, or canned Diet Coke will do. (No Pepsi please)

  • The taste is fine, but the Diet Coke contains chemicals that are absolutely awful for you. The amount of healthcare professionals who warn against drinking it is genuinely worrying.

  • I love a fountain soda. Diet coke with a splash of cherry is my favorite. Coke is a classic. Plus they own topo chico! and Fresca! Who knew?!

  • Great taste but really unhealthy. I only ever drink just a sip maybe once a year to remember how good it tastes but immediately am overpowered by the amount of sugar in it.

  • I appreciate that Coca-Cola offers a classic soda that’s accessible and typically free from animal-derived ingredients! It’s refreshing to have a mainstream brand that caters to those of us following a plant-based lifestyle, providing an easy drink option when out and about. Most of Coca-Cola’s beverages are vegan-friendly, and they’re clear about their ingredients, which helps with peace of mind. While some flavors may contain non-vegan ingredients (like honey in specific regional varieties), the classic Coca-Cola is a reliable choice. Great to see a popular brand supporting a range of dietary preferences!

  • Always the classic taste you want when you have pizza. 🍕 we don’t have it regularly but the combination of it drinking it once in a while is my guilty pleasure!

  • Yummy! can't wait to try the coke spiced

  • its a classic, their marketing is exceptional and the taste is great, its soda but it's like refreshing? somehow? i never pass on a coke.

  • Delicious, classic, iconic! Nothing like the real thing - full fat coke, accept no substitutes or replacements.
