I've seen it. I was utterly not compelled by it.
Disgusting, sickly sweet, and massively overpriced. This is why I've gone back to making my own soda pop at home. I can put whatever I want into it.

I haven't seen it, yet I am strangely repelled by it.

Bought a "four-pack". Drank all four.
I didn't hate it, but not compelling enough to buy again.

Saw it in a supermarche in France this morning - I wondered how much it would try not to be 'new coke'.

By not being New Coke? I.e. by not actively replacing the original formula.

There are enough beverages in the world already. They can stop inventing new ones now.

Colm -
New Coke replaced Coca Cola, which is why there was a large public outcry.
Coke Blak doesn't _replace_ anything, it's just a brand extension like Cherry Coke or Vanilla Coke.
I thought it was good, but it is over priced, and the flavor of it isn't the same after you've had it once or twice.
The first tastes were better than any subsequent.

Yeah, a normal 6-pack is 12*6 = 72 ounces.
These ones are $2 a 8oz bottle, or 8*9=72, $18 for the equivalent of a 6 pack.
I don't even pay half that for really excellent imported beer.
So this product is for suckers.

I liked the clear Pepsi. I wonder if it is still around somewhere.
