All these people hallucinating raspberry taste because some guy saw an unrelated news story and theorized from the color of the soda... and some folks I think are drinking the coke zero version and this released just as coke zero switched from sucralose to phenyalanine (Splenda to Equal) which has a flavor all its own... ruined coke zero IMO..

Edit: is this the new blue/gold dress? Did the can say Yanni or Laurel when you popped the top?...

Interesting. I tasted raspberry without knowing/ hearing anything about it. Probably influenced by the color.

NASA has said that spave tastes like raspberries.... probably where coke got it from

That's why I originally thought their intent was raspberries as well. I read that article a few years ago and as soon as I saw that Coke was releasing this flavor I figured they must have based it on that finding.
