Help! Diet Cherry Coke withdrawl

[AnnR]

Well, I am glad to here it is somewhere, although I think Wisconsin is a bit far for a road trip to buy some! Maybe this means it is not totally discontinued

You're kidding?!

There's a flavor difference between Diet Cherry Coke and Zero Cherry Coke? I can't even tell the difference if you throw Wild Cherry Diet Pepsi in the mix. Some of you guys must have really heightened taste buds.

Hi! I was at Kroger today and they definitely had BOTH Diet Cherry Coke and Cherry Coke Zero, so they haven't repackaged it. I don't think Kroger is in NY but they own several stores (they are the largest in the country) so you can go to kroger.com locate store and see if any of those stores are in your area.

Also, have you thought of maybe requesting to the store manager if they get some of it in stock? I know that if we can't find something, we can request for them to get it in stock and they will try to.

I hope you find some!!!

Some of us just really prefer one over another. Others just don't care.

I can substitute one for another if I have to (restaurants, etc) but I will always pick Coke because I like it better.

Well, I thought there were Kroger's in Pa but their web site doesn't show any.

I have emailed our local grocery store (Wegman's) but I will keep after them.

Thanks again!

I'm addicted to Cherry Coke Zero and Coke Zero. Used to use the Diet Cherry Coke and Diet Coke until these came out. They taste more like regular coke and cherry coke. But when my Zero's are sold out, I'll get the Diets and they are still available here in Calif.

I think California is a bit far for me!

I'm in Cleveland Ohio, and our Kmart def had some on 12/31, I know this cuz my niece bought some. I myself like the zero coca cola version better and tried to convince her of that version instead.

Just to let you know what the difference is, diet cherry coke is the coke formula (remember the bombing coke in the 80's? The only good was they made the diet cokes), zero cherry coca cola is the original formula of coca cola made diet.

I guess I may be visiting Ohio!!! I can stop in Erie and get some Chick-Fil-A!!! My favorite things -so what if it means 6 -7 hours in a car!!!! What should I see if I go to Cleveland?

 

[KimmyDisneyNerd]

Hey we have chick-fil-a here too! I'm not gonna lie, it's not a thrilling place. We do have the rock hall

Before they had Diet Cherry Coke or Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi in my area (SF Bay Area) I would stock up on road trips. We would travel 400 miles to Disneyland in our car. On the way back we would go scrounging in every Von's and Raley's in the area. We once brought back 30 12 packs - I felt like a pusher at work. I got every one hooked. As word got out I had to decide who was worthy of the elixer and who was not.

Didn't read through everything... but some grocery stores will special order stuff around here if you pay before they order it.

Worth calling around and asking!

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I've never been but I know that's there.

Funny how we're all different. I don't like Diet Coke but I do like Coke Zero and Diet Pepsi.

Good luck finding the Diet Cherry Coke! I wish that these companies would quit changing things.

Have you tried Diet Dr. Pepper? It's not the same, but it's as close as you can get till you can find it again.

I think you should make your own. Just get a little squeeze bottle from the travel aisle and some sugar free cherry syrup. I've added chocolate, cherry, lemon and vanilla to my drinks for years. When I was growing up, the soda fountain people did it for us. Frisch's used to make a killer cherry 7-up. We'd go there just to get it. Good luck!

That's what I am planning to do! I have my SIL in Baltimore looking, I go to visit them anyhow. I would rather fly at this time of year but if it means Diet Cherry..... I have an Subaru Outback Sport -planning on filling the back with it. Who needs luggage? Oh I also have a roof rack -wonder how many I can get up there..........

I appreciate all the help, I knew my fellow DISers would understand!!!

OK so far the closest seems to be Ohio(next to Wisconsin and California!) I haven't heard from anyone in Pennsylvania, was hoping that someone there would find some.

Anyone?
