Coca-Cola Blak
Coca-Cola has announced a new beverage that will debut in France in January 2006. It’s called Coca-Cola Blak, and it is a strange hybrid soda-coffee concoction. Carbonated coffee? Well, no thanks. Who knows, they could have pulled it off, but my gut reaction is, “WTF?”
According to Coke, it “has a rich smooth texture and has a coffee-like froth when poured.” Lest you think they got it right, it’s being marketed as a “mid-calorie beverage,” meaning it has the same sweetening structure as Coke C2: Half high-fructose corn syrup, and half Splenda. I’m not sure many of you experienced the tastebud travesty of C2, but it wasn’t pleasant. I hope they didn’t do the same thing here.
Since it isn’t actually available yet, I only have estimates at the caffeine content. Best guesses put it at 68mg for 12 ounces, about double a normal cola. I’ve put this number into The Caffeine Database and, of course, you can off yourself with Blak on the Death by Caffeine calculator.
If anyone has actually tried this, let everyone know how it tastes.
UPDATE: Estimates were correct (except that bottle size is only 8oz). Coca Cola Blak has 46 mg caffeine per 8oz bottle.

Justin sad. *sniffles* I want my Blak back!
I’ve been looking all over for Coca-Cola Blak in stores but can’t find it. I love the stuff!!!
I liked it and I miss it. I can’t find it anymore. Yeah It does make you hyper and you should only drink it on occasion. Oh and yes the price is outrageous but I think it’s worth paying for if you like both Coffee and Coca Cola. It’s way better than anything I’ve tasted.
i got a 4 pack for 99 cents canadian. theres not that much caffeine in it.
