You know, I'll be very upfront in saying that I've not been a big fan of some of some of these flavors with fruit mixed with cola. Vanilla blended with coke was a nice novelty when it came out and I get why some folks like it, but I find it a little too sweet to drink more than one of the mini-cans worth of it. I'm curious to finally get around to tasting this as it's been on the shelves for a little while now.
It does not smell like Coca-Cola. It actually smells like an orange-cream pop. I don't find the flavor very pleasing. The initial taste is that of an orange creamsicle but then then Coca-Cola flavor mixes in and overwhelms the orange-vanilla. Lastly, it ends in a dry chemical-like flavor on my tongue.
