Coke Y3000

[Mysterian]

Here we go again. This time with flavor that’s co-created with AI.

I tried the sugar free one, it was just OK. This time the flavor was more tame than the previous Coke Creations. It tastes like Coke overall, with just a slight hint of…Peeps? I give up. Not a fan!

I am so tired of Coke's attempts to be hip with meaningless flavor names. None of them have been very good and I won't be trying any more. Dr Pepper rolls out new flavors with a name that you know what flavor to expect and they actually taste good!

Or the effort by Pepsi to rebrand their lemon-lime flavored drink by calling it "Starry" replacing "Sierra Mist". The new commercial for it are terrible and most people will think they simply stopped making the other product. I have tried it and not sure the flavor is any different certainly not in any obvious way. Not sure what any of this accomplishes.

In that last few years Coke has tried adding various flavors (like orange) to make a new product. Thought all of those tasted awful and would never buy them again. Not clear how AI can help develop a flavor for a soft drink. Seems like lots of companies are getting on the AI bandwagon to drive up their stock price...............LOL.

I did not know this was out, I will give it a try.

I really did not care much for the other recent one (in the gold can). That first experimental one (Starlight), I really liked. I wish they would bring that back.

I enjoy trying these. Some have been really good and others not so much. I did really come to like Starlight, though at first I didn't. I usually drink the Zero versions of them, so I don't know if that's better or worse.

Saw the topic title and thought "OK so that's what Mysterian's avatar is doing!"

Unless this is an official partnership with Andre 3000, I'm very disappointed.

I picked up a pack of this yesterday... I really like it! This is a big improvement over the past couple ones.
