OK, what happened to vanilla-flavored Coke Zero?
Nature's most perfect beverage seems to have disappeared from the market (at least 'round these parts). Oh, the humanity!

:cry:

1. I beg to disagree
Nature's most perfect beverage was Absolut New Orleans, a limited edition vodka flavored with mango and black pepper (you don't taste the pepper) - absolutely delightful and now gone. :cry:

I bought everything my store had and am now down to one unopened bottle and half of another. :(

5. Speaking of liquor
I have been a Jim Beam guy for years. But I went to a bar last weekend that didn't have it in stock. So, I ordered Maker's Mark on the rocks instead. And I thought: where has THIS been all my life? I have a new bourbon.

I hauled some last week. What part of the country do you live in?

9. It's better
I saw a doc yesterday. It's not broken thankfully. The swelling has gone down a lot and I don't want to scream every time I step down on it.

15. Sorry. It's all over the place here in Atlanta
Maybe it's because this is the home of Coke. You want I should send you some?

3. Look in the less-frequented markets and 99cent stores- sometimes they have things like that.
Unsold and overstock... I was able to find Vanilla Diet Pepsi in a Latino market for months after it was nationally discontinued. Also at some large drug stores which sell food and cola, etc.

I'll hook you up, but it won't be cheap. Come alone. The password is "Chuggo".

16. We can get it at all the grocey stores in Covington (DC with lime)
It's my hubby's favorite drink. Maybe it's only OTP.
