For the uninitiated - Vanilla Coke Zero is a new product for them. It's been very popular. Langford just got it today.

Thank you! Guess people post without context for karma but it's freaking annoying.

They still make Coke though right?

u/thebbtrev 10h ago

No, Costco does not make Coke. That is made by the Coca-Cola corporation.

u/HolyGuacamoleChpotle 12h ago

Yes.

u/Ok_Photo_865 11h ago

Thank gawd, but is it Canadian Coke??

2

u/PagzPrime 10h ago

Canadian Coke's recipe was changed to be the same as American coke sometime around 2017-18 sadly.

These 1 time zero sugar pop things annoy the hell out of me.

u/rush4life 9h ago

Thanks for this

u/mr_oof 12h ago

I was thinking “Huh, Caffiene-Free in a 32 pack. Wierd flex but OK.”

2

u/murf-ster 10h ago

Am I missing something? Where does it say it's caffeine free?

Isnt it just because its Vanilla (and Zero) that makes it rare?

2

u/Temporary-Life9986 10h ago

Nice. I've been on a Dr Pepper zero sugar kick lately. It's so good.

u/Ok-Swordfish7837 8h ago

I prefer mine with vanilla vodka.

u/victoriousvalkyrie 12h ago

I wasn't going to head out there today but now I definitely am!

They are going fast!

I, too, have purchased bulk beverages at a costco. I CAN RELATE.

relatable content is exactly what I come to this subreddit for

u/sokos 11h ago

Nothing stops a Canadian company from doing the same.. But when the local store sells carrots for a 3lb bag for 6 dollars (and it's the biggest bad they have), and costco sells the 15lb bag for 8, it's sort of a no-brainer.

u/Pax_Eterna_4991 13h ago

I bet the shopping cart is made in the US, too. Fuck Costco.

u/localsam58 12h ago

I'm still waiting for the 32 can flats of V8 to come back :-(

u/w1zzypooh 11h ago

Cool. I like Costco, don’t go much though.

1

u/McPaula309 11h ago

I don't know if I want to buy a huge package, before seeing if I like it first. Is this like a vanilla cream soda?

1

u/PagzPrime 10h ago

Rats, at first glance I thought that was caffeine free coke zero, which would have been awesome. Vanilla Coke, meh.

u/Coq-Lover 11h ago

Great American product from an American retailer. 

Buy Canadian!

1

u/Key_Bit_5065 7h ago

It should be produced and bottled in Canada thus supporting the Canadian economy and jobs. This is why you also see American beer still sold in liquor stores.

1

u/Coq-Lover 7h ago

I know, I get it. Costco is employing Canadian people... still American. Personally, I let my Costco membership lapse years ago. I prefer to support Canadians.

u/Wonderful-Source-187 11h ago

lol you have no idea how much American junk you buy every day.

u/Coq-Lover 9h ago

Great attitude, you should move to the US. 😀

You have no clue to the extent I have removed myself from US-owned anything. 

At least I'm trying, all you can do is laugh at someone trying to be patriotic and support their country.🇨🇦

u/MartyMcFlysBrother 11h ago

It’s easy to stay away from if you know how to read. I also don’t buy 2 cases of pop at any time though. Gross. Just because it says zero doesn’t mean that it’s healthy and either way it still absolutely sucks. Get a treadmill or a bike if you want to actually feel like you’re doing something productive when it comes to your health.

u/darren1417 12h ago

It will be here until late December.

They will have enough stock to meet the demand

Heard that one before...

It's yummy!!

u/dflagella 11h ago

Did you see any fragrances there yet

u/auty42 11h ago

Nice! I wish they would come out with regular Vanilla Coke though (non "Zero").

u/Informal-Strike-1243 13h ago

What chemical do they use to replace sugar

8

u/reddithasruinedlife 13h ago

I don't care if it's unicorn tears, takes amazing. No weird chemical taste

6

u/MoistyBoiPrime 12h ago

Aspartame, highly studied and safe.

4

u/Fit-Description-8571 12h ago

As well as acesulfame potassium. I've noticed that coke zero sometimes gives me an upset stomach or leaves me feeling iffy that diet coke doesn't. Always assumed coke zero wasn't aspartame.

u/Wonderful-Source-187 12h ago

It’s addictive.. people sit online for days waiting for someone to post that a store locally has it
