| Delicious Maple Coke is a sweet alternative north of the border. |
CANADA– Cherry Coke failed to make a decent impression in North America. Vanilla Coke has struggled to find its niche. And there is still a question whether or not Lime Coke will make its presence known on the fickle cola market. But in Canada, by far, the most popular variety of soft drink from the Coca Cola Company is definitely Maple Coke, a thick and refreshing cola beverage with the delicious taste of maple. It’s all the rage North of the Border.
What makes Maple Coke so special? Why it’s the key ingredient of course–maple! This ultra-sweet carbonated cola beverage uses maple syrup instead of corn syrup to deliver the great taste of maple in a can. Canadians just love the taste of maple, whether it’s on their pancakes, in their cereals, or on their pasta. And now, with this new maple cola alternative, the delicious flavour of maple can be drank straight from the can.
Until the introduction of Maple Coke, most Canadians carried small bottles of maple extract to use as an addictive to soft drinks, on desserts, or sipped straight from the bottle. Like a life-giving potion, maple extract was the elixir by which Canada, and Canadians, defined themselves.
At only 1200 calories per can, Maple Coke makes a great meal substitute. This delicious drink contains an entire day’s supplement of both sugar and caffeine.
“It’s a little thicker than Coke Classic,” said Yvon Stevon, a typical Canadian with a passion for maple. “Actually, it’s a lot thicker. But it’s as smooth as honey, and gives you a jolt of energy not unlike that which you would get from consuming an entire bag of sugar. But it’s the maple flavour that I desire the most.”
The popularity of Maple Coke comes as no surprise to a nation built on the maple tree, and with maple practically flowing through the veins of its population.
“[Maple Coke] fills you up, which is good,” added Yvon. “It goes great in the morning with a stack of pancakes, mixed with icing sugar, or alone with a bacon sandwich. And Maple Coke is safe for my dental work, which I only have because a lifetime of maple syrup rotted away all my natural teeth.”
Although maple syrup remains the favourite Canadian snack, eaten along with a meal or simply alone in front of the television out of a jar with a wooden spoon, Maple Coke is quickly catching on.
“I love Maple Coke,” said Cherie Brandee, another Canadian cola drinker. “Aside from one or two small peeves–it takes three minutes to pour a can of it into a glass, and sucking it through a straw makes me dizzy.”
Yes, it appears that the Coca Cola corporation has found a niche in the Canadian market. And unless the Pepsi people come up with a competitive alternative, such as a beer-flavoured cola, or a cola-flavoured beer, it seems that Canadians will be washing down their crepes and waffles with the sweet, refreshing taste of maple for some time to come.
