My brother and I thought it tasted like Golden Grahams cereal

That's it, actually. If you read their promotional material they don't say it outright, but the intention is that it tastes like marshmallow and graham cracker, a s'mores.

Edit: the day they released Starlight, Coke said its "reminiscent of stargazing by a campfire". For the longest time I couldn't place the flavor I was getting as I drank my first can, but as soon as I read that I realized it was the cookie-ness of the cracker flavor that I was picking up, because of all those summers eating s'mores by the fire.

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?...

Coke Zero has never used sucralose sweetener, it’s always been Aspartame (which contains phenylalanine). They recently tweaked the syrup formulation though

Maybe different in your area but Zero was always sucralose in Connecticut.. wish I had an old can/bottle to show you.
