Put the lime in the Coke you nut

I caved in while shopping this morning and bought a two liter bottle of Diet Coke with Lime. It's in the refrigerator now. I will try it at lunchtime. Watch the commercial and tell me that the commercial isn't catchy.
Yeah, I know. I can't believe I bought it either. It had better be tasty!

I don't know if you will like it...but, the kids and I love it! But, then again I have been putting lemon in my coke for a long time...so this is not much different.

I am an idiot who has nothing better to do then to wander aimlessly around the internet and annoy other people. Please help me as I desperately need a life.

Lime Coke has been available in this section of Ohio for a few months now, and I can't get enough of it!
I need to lobby the vending people at work to put it back in the vending machine.
BTW - this comes from my bartending experience - Coke with Lime is a "mocktail" called "Cola Libre". The alcoholic version contains rum and is called a "Cuba Libre."
Cheers!

My coworker tried it with the same sort of view on the Coke/Lime and now he is totally addicted. He's not a pop man either.
If nothing else it might be something to try "con ron!"

My dad loves it, though I think it's horrible.

I like the Diet Coke with lime and I've started asking for lime added now where ever I go...

I tried a Lime Coke a couple of days ago. Not very good, in my opinion. But I do love hearing my 5-year-old singing the "Lime in the Coconut" song.

We'll buy you some when we go grocery shopping Puffy, and when we get home we'll pour some through the filter for you. :)

The late, great Harry Nielsen recorded that song back in the '70s.

When Puffy showed Stiggy that commercial earlier today I was in the room and now the songs been in my head allllll day!
I do wonder what it tastes like. As long as they don't try and change the classic coke recipe i'll be ok.

I remember when Vanilla Coke came out. I loved it and drank it non-stop- I think I drank it too much because I hate it now. *gag*
I will try the Lime Coke on your recommendation though!

I haven't seen it yet... but.. why'd you start with a 2L? :D

We go around singing that song all the time now. You know I'm marketing and there for my opinion matters, they score with that one. I would love to know who their ad agency is.

I am sooooo addicted to the Diet Coke version. Believe it or not, Wegman's own version of it is pretty darn good, too -- and cheaper!!

I don't like the lime Coke at all, although I think the commercial is cute.
But now I am starting to see lime PEPSI...I bought a 16 oz bottle of it to try, and it is way better than the lime Coke.
I am not surprised, as I don't like lemon Coke, either, but I LOVE Pepsi Twist.
But to each their own! :-)

I think Coke is bad all together..Lime Coke must be awful

LOVE that stuff!!!! We've had it in Florida since last summer, and it's finally arrived in California. We sing that song all the time..."put the lime in the coconut and shake it all around"...

Posted by: Matthew at May 13, 2005 12:13 PM
I don`t drink coke.
....But I sing that alll the time now.

i love this commercial! i sing it to my 6 weeks old niece when she's fuzzy and she seems to like it bec. she kinda' settles down. i'm recording this and making it as my ring tone.
thanks!

The whole reason for the lime is that it kills the aftertaste of artificial sweeteners. Interesting marketing ploy, I think it tastes pretty much like normal coke and pepsi and don't care for any of it!

The only thing good about Coke with Lime is the song. Pepsi Lime is 10 times better than Coke with Lime.
