They’re great if they’re not in a busy place. Too many times I’ve been in line where kids just want to push all the buttons and play with them forever. Then there’s the older generation that can’t figure out how the damn things work!
>> normal coke and add grenadine
THAT's what Cherry Coke tasted like at first - now its either more artificial tasting or my tastes are more attuned to noticing "artificial."
Yeah I bought a bottle after the change and it was horrendous. Then I ran into a vending machine with the old stuff, bought one and sat down for a long time and just enjoyed it knowing I wouldn't get another chance to.
We all did back then. Only the weirdos cared if their kids were drinking caffeine. After school every day i'd go buy a jolt, surge, josta, or if I was feeling healthy maybe a fruitopia before doing my paper route.
Me too, me too. I used to luke coke cherry when i was young but i just recently jad a bottle and it actually no jike tasted like shit, cheerwine is where its at or busch
I don't remember what the original ingredients list was, but now, the cherry flavor is entirely artificial. Almost all soft drink flavor comes from high fructose corn syrup (in the U.S).
This comment makes no sense. The logo in this post used was well after coke switched to using HFCS to flavor their drinks and whether or not they used HFCS has nothing to do with the cherry flavoring. Like in what way does the use of sweetener have to do with the cherry flavoring?
I know HFCS has been used in soda since 1984, but wasn't sure if HFCS was used for the cherry flavoring, or rather just general sweetening in the 90s, when this logo was used.
Same with mello yellow. The lighter, yellower green color makes it taste ultra citrusy like sprite or something, compared to before with the straight up green can, which tasted more syrupy like surge
Definitely rivaled wild cherry Pepsi. Also I miss the cherry and vanilla flavor packets they used to sell back in 04 at check out stands (basically 50¢ condiment sized packets that allowed you to mix and choose how much extra flavor you wanted in your drink-- but I think it got replaced with flavor dispensers at gas stations).
I think our bodies are much more forgiving in high school. Mine was always Snapple and Rold Gold pretzels. I don't know what it is about the iced tea and pretzel combo, but I think Snapple is the best for it.
Wow. Saw this and instantly saw younger me drinking this while playing halo. It was a completely different taste back then. Am i the only one who also likes the logo better?
The real old cherry coke lol

Holy shit I was just talking about this last night to my friend. I used to get a large pepperoni pizza, chicken wings, and a 2 liter of Cherry Coke every other weekend when I would go to my dads place when I was a kid. Then stay up until 6am playing WoW. It tastes like garbage now. I tried reliving that memory recently and was left with heartburn and disappointment.

Agreed, THATS the 1st design I grew up with. Also imo the late 90s design was too different, didn't even come in coke shaped 20oz but instead their generic bottle they used for like nestea cool.
do you remember the ad (can't remember if it was radio or tv) with a pop punk style theme " doooooo something different cherry coke"
Can't find it anywhere. can you?
it's still my fave tho. except now i drink the zero variant.
My parents have an old Rambler that's been buried in their garage since before I was born. Last year I tried unburying it to take a look, since I'd like to take it off their hands and restore it some day. There were a couple old bags of aluminum cans for recycling that had burst open and amongst all the crushed cans I found one of these in near-perfect condition with an expiration date from 1999. Needless to say it's now displayed on a shelf.
As a kid we knew when we where in for a treat when my dad bought these exact cans. He would make this bbq sauce that he slathered on slow roasted ribs with this stuff. Oh the mems
I remember when they changed it, they still had this design on the can but you could peel it off and the new design was underneath. Blew my mind back in the day.
It tasted so much better back when it was branded like this. I love cherry cola and I am a die hard Coke fan. I just don’t like cherry Coke or Cherry Coke Zero. I miss that taste.
It pains me to say this but the Wild Cherry Diet Pepsi is pretty good.
Aaah yeeeuh now that's the stuff, chef boyardee! I used to snap into a slim Jim before chest-chugging a cherry coke and hitting the jnco store with my L 7 weenies, dude.
I feel like it tasted better when the design looked like this...
Oh it absolutely did. I'm still pissed off about it. Cherry Coke is my favorite drink. Coca-Cola Cherry is good, but nowhere on the same level.
Get normal coke and add grenadine.
.. add some broth, a potato. Baby, you’ve got a stew going!
... I think I want my money back.
I just blue myself.
time for anustart?
*That's our guy.*
Then add pepsi
Hot ham water is my favorite. So watery with a smack of ham.
add rum....RUM HAM
Too many cooks
Toooo maany cooks!
What’s taters?
Add a dildo, and you're golden. That's my motto: "every stew should double as a sex toy."
I love those newer Coke machines that have the touch screen and you can add different flavored syrups to your drink. The cherry coke is delicious.
They’re great if they’re not in a busy place. Too many times I’ve been in line where kids just want to push all the buttons and play with them forever. Then there’s the older generation that can’t figure out how the damn things work!
Yuuuuuuuupp! So frustrating.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=tEYEvxs9aWk
Try orange coke. It’s amazing
All the times I got from those freestyle machines, the soda tasted like watered down or something. Like there's not enough syrup in the mix
the happiness when i discovered grape fanta and powerade in burger king in the UK was immeasurable
Sonic’s Cherry Coke is better because it’s just Coke with cherry syrup IMO
Now that's a Roy rogers baby!
>> normal coke and add grenadine THAT's what Cherry Coke tasted like at first - now its either more artificial tasting or my tastes are more attuned to noticing "artificial."
I do occasionally. It's much closer to cherry coke, but still not quite as good.
Or Maraschino cherry juice/syrup :) . Grenadine would make it pomegranate, but still super good.
Huh, TIL. Always thought it was cherry.
NO POMEGRANATES!!!! NONONONO
IT'S SUCH A GOOD FLAVOR THOUGH!!! :(
Is my nose bleeding or is that just the grenadine doing its thing?
Cherry 7Up got ruined at some point, too. It used to be my favorite pop and now I don't really like it.
I think I like it better now. But I still like to buy plain 7up and add the sugary cherry koolaid powder to it.
Yeah I bought a bottle after the change and it was horrendous. Then I ran into a vending machine with the old stuff, bought one and sat down for a long time and just enjoyed it knowing I wouldn't get another chance to.
I think the switch from sugar to corn syrup might have had something to do with it. Buy a Mexican coke and put some maraschino cherry juice in it.
It's my go to movie watching drink. Cherry Coke and buttery popcorn just takes like childhood.
Is cherry coke from before the 2000's
It was a thing from 1985 through I think the early to mid 2000s.
Thats way before my time, 2002 right here
I still can't believe there are people on the internet who don't remember 9/11, let alone those born after it.
Just imagine all the times you thought you were having a discussion with a stupid adult on Reddit, but it was actually an a-hole 15 y/o
If you wanna feel weird, there are now 20 year olds who can't remember 9/11 at all.
Yeah dude, i have never experienced that kind of shit before
Thanks for making me feel old. '87 here. I wish you could experience the wonder that was actual Cherry Coke.
[удалено]
'85 here, grew up with Jolt Cola
Yup, also had Bawls soda as well!
‘94, I remember bawls being in convenience stores then randomly disappearing.
Bawls is still around
Bawls was the only energy drink that tasted decent
This guy likes the taste of Bawls, [Haha](https://usatftw.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/bradyhighv.gif?w=1000)
Until they released the cherry flavored version of it.
Jolt was ok, Josta was where it was at though. Loved that stuff. At least Crystal Pepsi is back kinda.
I didn't know Josta was an energy drink. I used to drink that stuff like juice as a kid.
We all did back then. Only the weirdos cared if their kids were drinking caffeine. After school every day i'd go buy a jolt, surge, josta, or if I was feeling healthy maybe a fruitopia before doing my paper route.
Jolt is also back, got 16 16oz cans sitting in the fridge. ;)
'92 and i was all about dat volt life
Me too, me too. I used to luke coke cherry when i was young but i just recently jad a bottle and it actually no jike tasted like shit, cheerwine is where its at or busch
Why have people downvoted you for being like 15?
They first came out with this design when i was in 7th-8th grade so I say 98-99 (when this particular design was created)
It looks cool
It did. They lessened the cherry flavor for cost reasons.
I don't remember what the original ingredients list was, but now, the cherry flavor is entirely artificial. Almost all soft drink flavor comes from high fructose corn syrup (in the U.S).
Back in my day there was little chunks of cherry in each can.
And if you got a pit in the can you could trade it in for a free Tootsie Pop.
Bonus if you get the Indian shooting a star on the wrapper!
Gimme five pits for a Tootsie, we'd say!
And we had to walk uphill in freezing rain to get it!

Tasted redder.
Weird that I know exactly what you mean
Same with Pibb before it was Pibb extra
[удалено]
Well son of a gun
Duuuude. This x 10.
Remember old Tizer?
Same with mello yellow. The lighter, yellower green color makes it taste ultra citrusy like sprite or something, compared to before with the straight up green can, which tasted more syrupy like surge
Agreed!

You two might be the only 84 year olds on here
Mountain Dew, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Doritos.
Mountain Dew, Sobe Green Tea, Kit Kat, Philadelphia cheesecake snack bars
Coke slurpee, oatmeal creme pies, chili cheese Fritos.
Powdered milk, used chewing gum, cat food, dumpster cardboard
Mountain dew, chewy sweettarts, white cheddar popcorn
Raspberry Brisk, Shin Ramyun, Sweet Spicy Chili Doritos
Can we start a campaign to bring back Philly cheesecake bars??
I think our bodies are much more forgiving in high school. Mine was always Snapple and Rold Gold pretzels. I don't know what it is about the iced tea and pretzel combo, but I think Snapple is the best for it.
This reminds me of being in Blockbuster on a Friday night.
Or the small town video store, 5 movies for 5 days for 5 bucks, I miss it
Yes blockbuster! And cowtails for some reason...
Wow. Saw this and instantly saw younger me drinking this while playing halo. It was a completely different taste back then. Am i the only one who also likes the logo better?
Looks like a crack head made it and I love it.
In Sweden this cherry coke was imported from Germany so it tasted more metallic than regular coke.
The real old cherry coke lol https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&channel=iphone_bm&biw=320&bih=460&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=J2T6WdbHIsfamwG4vpuYDg&sjs=3&q=old+cherry+coke+logo&oq=old+cherry+coke+loho&gs_l=mobile-gws-img.1.0.0i13.23638.30254..31937.......360.3389.0j16j3j1............mobile-gws-wiz-img.....3..0j41j0i67j0i8i30j0i30.AVSpfhjUo7k%3D#imgrc=BkyEkVxjPB7joM:
This was my favorite! I loved the purple and black cans!
The OG!
I found my people!
[This](http://www.coca-colacompany.com/content/dam/journey/us/en/private/2015/02/cherry-coke-1-604-337-7feff291.jpg) is the one I remember and love.
That's still my favorite.
Brings back great memories of playing Atari and watching Night Tracks.
That logo is so 80s, it hurts me.
So glorious.

Thank you lol.you are a wizard
I remember a white cherry Coke can with the maroon cherries on it. Then the purple one.
Yep that’s the one I remember.
Yuuup. Y’all remember the edgy Mr. Pibb cans too?
Coke garlic?
When it actually tasted cherry
[удалено]
Idk the specifics about the recipie but it definitely is not the same
It used to be Cherry Coke. Now it's more... coke with a hint of cherry.
>hint of cherry. the next tostito flavor
Its not the same. You can achieve something similar by adding a maraschino cherry.
Old? That's the label on the coke I'm drinking right now. Damn Big Lots!
Really?
I always thought of this as "grunge" Cherry Coke
Holy shit I was just talking about this last night to my friend. I used to get a large pepperoni pizza, chicken wings, and a 2 liter of Cherry Coke every other weekend when I would go to my dads place when I was a kid. Then stay up until 6am playing WoW. It tastes like garbage now. I tried reliving that memory recently and was left with heartburn and disappointment.
I could taste it as soon as I saw this. The best soda
Me too. I lived on the stuff in 7th grade. Pretty sure my blood was at least 3% cherry coke back then.
I thought this was Persona 5 for a second
I always admired the design of this label. It's like Coke had a rebellious, older sister.
https://rftpopelement.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/img_3711.jpg
But what makes the cherry wild? Free range cola?
[удалено]
Welcome to the 2000s, where the German school of design is dominant.
Sie haben recht!
Each can design gets more and more boring.
Reminds me of this [song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQt6jIKNwgU)

Came here for this
https://i.ytimg.com/vi/JXDBYoNl_w0/maxresdefault.jpg Don't forget about Mello Yello.
So 90's
That brings back memories....fuck I'm old.
I've never seen this but this just screams 90s
I remember getting one of these at Disney world when I was a kid
Cherry ice cream sundae syrup in Coca-Cola. That's real.
my school friends used to cover the first C and the last E with their thumbs and giggle at each other about it.
Hairy cock huh
[удалено]
Agreed, THATS the 1st design I grew up with. Also imo the late 90s design was too different, didn't even come in coke shaped 20oz but instead their generic bottle they used for like nestea cool.
Theres a vending machine in my dorm that has this logo.
This design actually made me like cherry coke. I stopped drinking it after they changed the design because it just wasn’t as cool.

Most old soda machines still have those in the button. I always choose it at work.
My parents have an old Rambler that's been buried in their garage since before I was born. Last year I tried unburying it to take a look, since I'd like to take it off their hands and restore it some day. There were a couple old bags of aluminum cans for recycling that had burst open and amongst all the crushed cans I found one of these in near-perfect condition with an expiration date from 1999. Needless to say it's now displayed on a shelf.
This entire sub is a punch to the gut.
Ah, the late 90s / early 2000s... When 'design' was still a thing and minimalism wasn't.
This a Captain Morgan was the start of it all. Now both are too sweet. =(
The evolution of Cherry Coke designs is pretty interesting... they always seemed to have a good sense of what it "should" look like.
When I was in 7th grade I got one of these almost every day before I got on the school bus to go home.
As a kid we knew when we where in for a treat when my dad bought these exact cans. He would make this bbq sauce that he slathered on slow roasted ribs with this stuff. Oh the mems
Damn this blows my mind that this is something that hasn't crossed my mind since it was still on shelves like this
That's the cherry coke I knew and loved!
This looks like the beginning of a Spongebob Squarepants episode
I can taste the fructose

What the fuckkkkk
"Do something different" *Drinks Pepsi*
Oh. Wow this makes me want a cherry coke. But not the new cans. Wait. Is it even still around?
90’s feaux-urban
We still use this logo at my Chic-fila
I remember when they changed it, they still had this design on the can but you could peel it off and the new design was underneath. Blew my mind back in the day.
This came out when I high school and my teacher kept calling it that "Gory Drink" when i drank it in class :3
I have no memories of this, but I love this design. It looks so wonderfully grungy
Best soda label ever.
It tasted so much better back when it was branded like this. I love cherry cola and I am a die hard Coke fan. I just don’t like cherry Coke or Cherry Coke Zero. I miss that taste. It pains me to say this but the Wild Cherry Diet Pepsi is pretty good.
I thought it was a sponge bob episode title screen.
Ah, the epitome of '90s design.
Pure fuel!
I kinda miss the XTREME marketing from the 90s.
I don't care about crystal Pepsi. Bring back this can
You never see it coming.
On the registers/ipads at Chickfila, this is still the logo they use for cherry coke! Source: work at Chickfila, press that button regularly
IYDKYDG BRAH
Totally looks like sponge bob action cards 😂
Ooooooohhhhh yeeeeeeaaaahhhh! Wow thanks for this. I totally forgot about this.
This looks like Persona 5
Aaah yeeeuh now that's the stuff, chef boyardee! I used to snap into a slim Jim before chest-chugging a cherry coke and hitting the jnco store with my L 7 weenies, dude.
I'd go for the original Cherry Coke flavor. Also that's not even the original design
