Green Tea Coke Review

Ok so I wrote this like a month ago, but I never got around to post it. Without further adieu:


I found out from my friend Eric that the green tea flavored Coca Cola had already hit the shelves. Of course I had to try it. Eric had given me a bad review of the soda, although somehow he loves it now. Anyway, I had to taste it for myself. On Sunday, I walked into a 7-11 and bought the cola. I opened the bottle (swish) and swallowed a big gulp down, hoping that it would be delicious. I immediately regretted that deep gulp of blahness. The Coke is advertised as green tea flavored, but it tastes nothing like green tea. Actually, the Coke tastes just like Diet Coke, which I'm also not a fan of. Supposedly this new coke has antioxidants and it's 0 calories. However, if I want something healthy, I would rather drink water, iced green tea, or 100% fruit juice. This new drink was a complete FAIL for me.




In other news, Shiso Coke has also hit the shelves. I don't think that I will be trying that any time soon. I don't like the flavor of shiso, so I can't imagine that I would enjoy drinking Shiso flavored Coke.
