<p><a href="http://www.coca-colablak.com/us/index.jsp" target="_blank">Coke Blak</a></p><p>It's Coke + Coffee. </p><p>Who's had it? What's everyone think? I'd get more of it if it wasn't so much money. $6.99 for a 4 pack of small bottles is a bit more than I want to spend on a drink. They need to come out with it in standard 12oz cans and drop this whole thing about being a fancy drink for fancy people. If not I see this stuff going the way of Pepsi Kona.<br /></p><p> </p><p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.78west.com/wordpress/?p=52">My review</a> <font size="1">(please go comment, I get lonely with out comments)</font>:</p><p> </p><p>Ahh, Pepsi. The innovate with the best of them and throw their
products on the market for the public to decide what lives and what
dies. They have given us such such joy as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_Pepsi">Crystal Pepsi</a> and <a href="http://money.cnn.com/2002/05/07/news/companies/pepsi/">Pepsi Blue</a>.
Well, times are changing once again and the market is ready for
something new, something extrodinary, something my chemistry teaches
had been doing for years. It’s new. It’s Pepsi. It’s coffee. It’s Pepsi
Kona.</p>
<p>Wait a second. I just checked my desk calendar. It seems that it’s 2006 and not 1996. Whoops. Lets start this over again.</p>
<p>Ahh, Coca Cola. The innovate with the best of them and throw their
products on the market for the public to decide what lives and what
dies. They have given us such such joy as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Coke">New Coke</a> and <a href="http://www.savesurge.org/surge/index.shtml">Surge</a>.
Well, times are changing once again and the market is ready for
something new, something extraordinary, something my chemistry teacher
had been doing for years. It’s new. It’s Coke. It’s coffee. It’s Coke
Blak.</p>

<p>There it is folks, Coke Blak, something I consider to be the current
Holy Grail of new products. It’s been a while since I have been excited
about a drink like I have been for this one, the rumors have been going
around for months, pictures have been leaking out from across the
country, people have been questing after it for months now. </p>
<p>Well, the national roll out has happened and Coke Blak will soon be
in the hands of millions of Americans across the country for them to
try out.</p>
<p>Take a look at that bottle! It’s a fusion beverage. I wonder if fusion is the new extreme. The <a href="http://www.fordvehicles.com/futurevehicles/2006fusion/">Ford Fusion</a>. The <a href="http://www.gillette.com/men/index_fusion.htm">Gillette Fusion razor</a>. Now we have a fusion beverage. it really is the future. </p>
<p>So, cola and coffee. Is it a good idea? Well, in 1996 when Pepsi
Kona came out it was a total failure. It was a failure of such epic
proportions that it lives in legend with the soda community. Many have
heard of it, few have tried it. Luckily for me I lived in a beta test
area for the drink and had the chance to try it out. It was something
different, sure, but no one liked it. Pepsi Kona quietly went away and
people wondered what Pepsi was thinking when they decided to come out
with such a drink. My chemistry teacher continued to make his own Pepsi
Kona and the world carried on.</p>
<p>“The marketplace has changed” said Ryan “It’s a new time, the people are ready again.”</p>
<p>I wonder how long it is going to take Pepsi to come back out with
Pepsi Kona now that Coke has Blak on the marketplace. “Taste the
original” or something could be their slogan.</p>
<p>Coke Blak. How does it taste? How does it smell? How does it feel?</p>
<p>The bottle is glass, going back to the old days, and it’s small, and
it’s expensive. $6.00 for a four pack. Ouch. Of course I had to buy
two. It smells like you would expect it to smell, like cola with a hint
of coff
