I don't know. I had some and it tasted putrid.

I like diet coke, and i like adding lemon as well as other things to it, but this sis not taste right.

just my 2 cents

I could be way off, but you just add fresh lemon to it yourself? Wouldn't that taste better? Cuz personally, I love drinking regular coke with a slice of lemon in it, but I'd be hesistant to try "Lemon Coke."

Just my 1 cent. (it ain't worth 2 cents.)

i tried the diet pepsi with lemon that they came out with like 6 months ago... it actually made diet coke palatable for a change. i will probly like the diet coke version, too.

I just hope that this won't turn into the "New Coke" fiasco

This is kind of like Pepsi Twist. Regular Pepsi w/ a lemony taste to it. The only place I saw it was when I was in Vancouver, Canada this summer.

Ick.. the stuff is nasty. But, it probably won't last, like Clear Pepsi.. you guys remember that stuff? I personally would buy Clear Pepsi.. it was the same stuff without a ton of coloring.

Didn't it taste a little different? I forget now, but I thought it did.

I loved Crystal Pepsi back in the day. it tasted like carbonated sugar water with some extra flavoring. Ah...those were the days.

I remember Clear Pepsi. That stuff was horrible. I don't like Pepsi to begin with, but that was absolutely yucky! :mad:

I wouldn't mind trying Coke with lemon if they had it with normal coke. I don't like diet. It has a bad aftertaste.

:heh: I remember the clear pepsi. Didn't it have a special name or something? Or was it just "Pepsi clear"? I used to love that stuff.

Diet sodas don't just have a bad aftertaste, they taste bad. I get sick if I drink it...and as if diet coke didn't taste bad enough without adding fake lemon juice. :puke:

What I would give for Vernors to come back as it tasted 30 years ago. Now THAT stuff had a kick! If you drank it out of a glass, the fizz alone was strong enough to knock you out of your chair.

Anyone remeber Coke II? That stuff was great. Now you can only get it in certain parts of the US and most of Canada.

I bought a 12 pakc of Diet Coke with Lemon per oblongmelon's recomendtation and it's good. I hate regular Diet Coke, but this wasn't bad. I think it tastes a lot like if you added lemonade, not just a squirt of lemon juice.

BTW, no, i've never seen regular coke with lemon. can't wait for it though!

Last summer in Spain I had beer with lemonade. I ordered it by accident but it wans't that bad. I still prefer regular beer.

Naw, they didn't have Corona in Spain I think. It was called Clara I think. But it was pre-made with the lemon, not something they put in there in the bar.

Oh, and Burzhui, I gotcha, it's enema, not enima. hehe.:P

I like Diet Coke as well. Only diet. I guess I've just grown so used to it that it seems "regular" now. I can't stand regular coke.

When at a restaurant, if I splurge the $3 for a drink, I'll usually get Diet Coke and have them throw in a lemon wedge. Just like it that way. So, when I saw DCwL at a store (some convenience store in NYC -- for the person who was asking if it's available here...), I got it.

All around, not bad. not exactly the same as throwing a lemon wedge into a glass of DC, but it did taste lemon-y. The strange thing, though, was the after-taste was exactly like "Froot Loops" cereal. :P I could do without that (as I had a traumatic experience w/ FLs when I was a kid), but I guess I can deal...
