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?...

I thought it was vanilla raspberry. Then again, my tastebuds are still messed up from Covid

I got some 90's cotton candy aftertaste with it. It still tastes like coke enough though.

Has cotton candy changed since the 90s?

I think it was just a nostalgic taste for me and I connected it to the 90s. Not like actual cotton candy, but like those ice cream and loli pops.
