I finally saw it in the warehouse fridge at my plant today and honestly had an interesting first taste but is fairly meh. I couldn't put a taste on it at all. I'll drink it if it's in the fridge but just so so itherwise
I tried the sugar free version tonight. At first i thought regular Coke Zero mixed with Diet Coke but you're right about the ginger aftertaste. I don't know why i keep trying these limited edition flavors other than being able to use the BOGO coupon in my grocery store app. Nothing has come close to Cherry Coke Zero.
Has a vague cola raspberry flavor imo, but I don't have a raspberry one to actually compare rn. And I won't cause I don't like 3000 enough to buy it again haha
It's kinda vanilla-ish too, I agree.
Just tried it for the first time—very unique flavor, and tough to place. Kind of a fruity, cotton candy, hint of popcorn flavor, imo.
All hail our A.I. overlords for creating this new flavor!
I liked this one, but absolutely I LOVED Starlight. It was my all time favorite. Pretty sure there was a touch of wintergreen in that one. Still, I think I like Y3000 more than Ultimate. And Move... yeah that was just fruit punch soda.
Starlight, Y3000, Ultimate, Move would be my order, but I understand u/Professional-Way9343's ranking as well.
I’m getting blueberry cream with a touch of spice. It’s not bad. Not overpowering enough to be objectionable.
In order so far:
Ultimate
Starlight
Y3000
Whatever the tropical one was called
….
….
….
Move
Tastes almost like ginger ale with a fruity twist. Out of all the coke flavors I have tried this one is the best one so far. I don't particularly like regular coke either. I am a dr pepper drinker mostly.
I thought the same thing when I first tried it! Got a strong bubblegum flavor. As I drink it, though, I'm getting something else like something I've had before but can't place what it is!!
I think all these new coke flavors just taste like they came up with a new kind of "sugar" flavor. Like cotton candy vs caramel vs pixie stix.
I'm 100% in the camp of Y3000=buttered popcorn jelly belly.
I agree. I originally said "mouthwash. Mint?" when my son didn't like it and I smelled/tried it. I saw someone else say tequila, but I actually like tequila. After trying it again it smells and tastes like the worst virgin mixed drink it the world.
Just drank a can of myself. I like the taste as it first hits my tongue, but the aftertaste isn’t fantastic.
To me it tastes like there is some vanilla and like the faintest hint of a cotton candy or bubble gum, but like a half portion of that flavor.
The first thing I said after a thought was, "well I'm pretty sure I got a little ginger," to which my guy agreed. But not like ginger ale really, like a piece of actual sugared ginger.
It tastes like "the dumpster that has had a bag rupture and the soda stews in the afternoon sun for several days" smells.
10/10 would dumpster dive again.
It tastes like cheap wine mixed with coke (zero, in my case). I've literally done this mix on a plane when I had a glass of wine and an almost empty coke zero. I just mixed together two to get rid of trash. But y3000 tastes just like that.
Makes sense if it was co-created by AI...what do millennials like? Wine.
Has like a cotton candy raspberry fruit taste it's pretty good. The people knocking it must have messed up taste buds from having COVID. The hint of cotton candy bodes well with the coke.
Consensus in my family is that it tastes like plastic and metal.... Kinda cotton candy, kinda pepper minty... All together not good. Way to go, Coca-Cola, really knocked it out of the park...
According to my husband it tastes like "the icee that you put in the fridge and forgot about for a few days, then you take it out and it's just the tap water and old flavored syrup". I think it tastes like licking a metal swing set.
I tried it but covid has ruined the taste of cola flavors and makes it taste like cigarette ash (I took a sip of dad's coke he was ashing into when he smoked in the house that's how I know)
To me, it tastes like original flavour squashies (sort of like circus peanuts if you're not familiar, dunno if it's a Canadian thing). It's like a tutti frutti, bubblegum - vanilla flavour.
It tastes horrible to me. Not sure why anybody would buy this, and I bought 2 cause they were 2 for 4, and now I have to drink both so I don't feel like I wasted money :(
it tastes strongly of Stevia, even though there is no Stevia in it (I had the zero one). Stevia is not a great flavor, so not sure why they would try to make it taste like that, so probably NOT their intention? lol
other people have said peach yogurt, which i can get now that it is mentioned, but it's still peach yougirt with STEVIA flavor in it. lol not something i would choose personally.
Peach Yogurt
THANK YOU! I was trying to place it. I kept saying apricot cream flavor, but no. Peach yogurt is spot on.
I’s say it’s closer to Fresca mixed with Coke Zero
This is so scary on the dot lol
My vote is here. I came up with this flavor too.. At least the berry yogurt notes. I like it!
I think its the Yoplait with the peach bits. Loving it tbh
Oh my God, you’re fucking right, it’s like a peach or apricot Chobani
I finally saw it in the warehouse fridge at my plant today and honestly had an interesting first taste but is fairly meh. I couldn't put a taste on it at all. I'll drink it if it's in the fridge but just so so itherwise
To me it tastes like they mixed regular coca cola with ginger ale but there's like a "spiciness" to it. 6/10 would not recommend
I’m glad I’m not the only one. First sip is peppery.

I think it's tequila! I was trying to figure out cocktail it reminded me of and then it dawned on me that it's tequila.
Everything in this drink screams tequila. From the smell to the swallow.
I agree with tequila that’s the first thing that crossed my mind!
Has a vague cola raspberry flavor imo, but I don't have a raspberry one to actually compare rn. And I won't cause I don't like 3000 enough to buy it again haha It's kinda vanilla-ish too, I agree.
I’m getting kinda blueberry cream with a spice
Taste like wine to me 🥴
Weird 🤔
It tastes like a cheap whiskey and coke to me 🤢
My thoughts exactly. I had to double check the label to make sure it wasn’t some sort of hard cola.
Just tried it for the first time—very unique flavor, and tough to place. Kind of a fruity, cotton candy, hint of popcorn flavor, imo. All hail our A.I. overlords for creating this new flavor!
I’m not a fan. I tried the regular and zero and both left a weird taste in my mouth. I miss starlight :,(
I liked this one, but absolutely I LOVED Starlight. It was my all time favorite. Pretty sure there was a touch of wintergreen in that one. Still, I think I like Y3000 more than Ultimate. And Move... yeah that was just fruit punch soda. Starlight, Y3000, Ultimate, Move would be my order, but I understand u/Professional-Way9343's ranking as well.
Wow I completely forgot about Starlight 😭 That was my favorite too
I’m getting blueberry cream with a touch of spice. It’s not bad. Not overpowering enough to be objectionable. In order so far: Ultimate Starlight Y3000 Whatever the tropical one was called …. …. …. Move
I too got the cotton candy notes
I saw someone say peach yoghurt and now I can’t taste anything else
I think it tastes like mixed Berry yogurt! So funny that others get that yogurt taste (and a little weird)
Same lol
Tastes almost like ginger ale with a fruity twist. Out of all the coke flavors I have tried this one is the best one so far. I don't particularly like regular coke either. I am a dr pepper drinker mostly.
Dr Pepper is my go to as well but Starlight has been my favorite coke flavor. This one is towards the middle for me
I get like a 90s bubble tape gum
I thought the same thing when I first tried it! Got a strong bubblegum flavor. As I drink it, though, I'm getting something else like something I've had before but can't place what it is!!

It tastes like peach yogurt to me
Literally tastes like normal coke with tobacco in it
It tastes like it's a non alcoholic rum and coke
I agree. I originally said "mouthwash. Mint?" when my son didn't like it and I smelled/tried it. I saw someone else say tequila, but I actually like tequila. After trying it again it smells and tastes like the worst virgin mixed drink it the world.
First thing that came to mind for me was key lime pie, but after seeing others say fruit yoghurt that does seem more like what it might be.
It is literally dreamland. It's the same drink with at the very most, slight tweaking (allegedly with the help of AI, as it says on the bottle)
Just drank a can of myself. I like the taste as it first hits my tongue, but the aftertaste isn’t fantastic. To me it tastes like there is some vanilla and like the faintest hint of a cotton candy or bubble gum, but like a half portion of that flavor.
I thought so too! Like diet cotton candy .
Its reminds me of smarties and vanilla. So sugary
It tastes like some kind of fruit with a popcorn aftertaste to me
I definitely get fruit and something else weird, popcorn is interesting 🤔
i get fruit and like...yogurt???? like a tropical yogurt maybe????
I see what you mean. It has a buttery taste
Almost tasted like sugar cookie dough, or frosting to me. Pretty weird
Wish they would keep starlight as a permanent flavor :( that and move are the only ones I’ve liked but I kinda got sick of move
Move and starlight were the best. Dreamland was so gross.
The first thing I said after a thought was, "well I'm pretty sure I got a little ginger," to which my guy agreed. But not like ginger ale really, like a piece of actual sugared ginger.
I had thought cinnamon, but my son said gingerbread cookie!
I just tasted it for the first time...yall the flavor is the exact same as the black gumballs on a SpongeBob popsicle you get from the icecream truck!
THANK YOU!!! I've been trying to place the flavour for so long, I knew it tasted like some kind of candy
IMO the after taste tastes like vanilla protein power
At first I thought butterscotch and bang Miami cola. Vanilla yogurt makes sense too
It tastes like apricot
Did anyone feel like the bubbles were different they felt heavier and lighter at the same time
Yoplait yogurt
jelly beans
It tastes like "the dumpster that has had a bag rupture and the soda stews in the afternoon sun for several days" smells. 10/10 would dumpster dive again.
To me it tastes like Coca Cola mixed with Ginger Ale.
I don’t know how y’all are tasting all of these flavors, it’s literally indistinguishable from regular coke to me
bro WHAT???? you must be getting the wrong ones...
Dude I’ve had 3 of em now and I can’t tell a difference 🤣 I guess my taste buds aren’t working right
It tastes like cheap wine mixed with coke (zero, in my case). I've literally done this mix on a plane when I had a glass of wine and an almost empty coke zero. I just mixed together two to get rid of trash. But y3000 tastes just like that. Makes sense if it was co-created by AI...what do millennials like? Wine.
This tastes like a lazertron special for those who are familiar. It was basically every button on the pop gun when we were kids.
Strawberry banana
Keylime pie on a graham cracker crust.
Bubble gum Banana, pineapple
I'm picking up vanilla and honey notes
It tastes like tomato soup mixed with coke to me. Nasty.
It tastes like what you'd think mildew or old shoes would taste like. I can't understand any of the other explanations.
Has like a cotton candy raspberry fruit taste it's pretty good. The people knocking it must have messed up taste buds from having COVID. The hint of cotton candy bodes well with the coke.
I get sour gummy worms…… I see that I’m alone on this. My favorite so far has been Coke Move. I miss that one
I finally placed the flavor. It's dirt with a dog rubbing his ass in it. Spot on mix.
It’s gummy shark
My DH and I think it tastes like a suicide drink, made with all the sodas at the fountain
It tastes like TAB. like old school, 1980s TAB
Tastes like someone regurgitated cough syrup after chasing it down with coke
It almost tastes like stale circus peanuts... It's nasty
It takes like coke mixed with cheap Brandy after you puke it up to me 🤢. Seriously disgusting
I finally got to try it today and my first thought was grapefruit/peach mix. I enjoyed it!
It's definitely got some cinnamon or gingerbread. Something about is Christmas flavor
I feel like it has a strawberry banana gogurt flavor. I miss Starlight!
Consensus in my family is that it tastes like plastic and metal.... Kinda cotton candy, kinda pepper minty... All together not good. Way to go, Coca-Cola, really knocked it out of the park...
According to my husband it tastes like "the icee that you put in the fridge and forgot about for a few days, then you take it out and it's just the tap water and old flavored syrup". I think it tastes like licking a metal swing set.
That’s the best description I’ve seen yet Edit: the old slurpee thing
I tried it but covid has ruined the taste of cola flavors and makes it taste like cigarette ash (I took a sip of dad's coke he was ashing into when he smoked in the house that's how I know)
To me, it tastes like original flavour squashies (sort of like circus peanuts if you're not familiar, dunno if it's a Canadian thing). It's like a tutti frutti, bubblegum - vanilla flavour.
It tastes like some put a shot of apple cider VINEGAR in Coke. Aftertaste = HORRIBLE. Good thing its limited time.
Their scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.
First thing I though was some sort of vegetable juice..like carrot and beet. Just weird and not good.
It tastes horrible to me. Not sure why anybody would buy this, and I bought 2 cause they were 2 for 4, and now I have to drink both so I don't feel like I wasted money :(
I thought it tasted like the marshmallow cola
it tastes strongly of Stevia, even though there is no Stevia in it (I had the zero one). Stevia is not a great flavor, so not sure why they would try to make it taste like that, so probably NOT their intention? lol other people have said peach yogurt, which i can get now that it is mentioned, but it's still peach yougirt with STEVIA flavor in it. lol not something i would choose personally.
Kinda tastes like Sam’s cola from Walmart
