Daily Dose of Coffee – Coke

I love coffee (duh) and I like Coke well enough (I actually prefer Pepsi) and I’ve been very interested in the idea of Coke Blak.  Interested enough that I was annoyed when TW told me she saw it on Friday during an unaccompanied shopping trip with the kids and she DID NOT BUY IT.  HMPH

I just went out and bought it myself yesterday morning at Publix.  I tossed the four pack (which is pretty expensive) into the fridge and instructed Michelle not to touch it.  It has aspartame in it so TW wasn’t going to try it but I convinced her that one little sip wasn’t going to send her into a seizure – she sipped, she didn’t seize but she also didn’t seem to really like it much.  Which is just as well since it has aspartame, ya know?

I tried it and it immediately reminded me of a candy TW had purchased for me awhile back.  I can’t actually remember what the candy was called but I can "see it".  Small individually wrapped pieces of a candy that is not hard nor soft – sort of like a firm chew.  Like the ginger chews we have in the car.  But this tasted like coffee and chocolate. The Coke Blak tasted very much like that to me.  Or like a really strong coffee ice cream coke float.

I liked it well enough and I’d probably grab one from a vending machine or a Pilot Truck Stop rather than a plain ole boring coke.  But I don’t like it well enough to replace my daily pot and a half of coffee with it or my daily Starbucks with it.
