I have no problem with Coke. I am not one who also thinks such is evil for you. Then you went and posted that which is just to far. Honestly even imitation vanilla scares the holy crap out of me and mixing it into Coke does not make it any better. Just adds it to a slightly acidic base.
Imitation vanilla is a byproduct of the lumber industry. (same place imitation bacon comes from eww.) Now I am far from a health nut. I just live around a lumber/logging area. I have seen logging plants before. I know all to well about the chemicals that they use in the holding ponds for fresh tree's. No fucking thank you.
If I really wanted vanilla coke or whatever. I would just add a little professional or homemade real vanilla extract to it. Both of those can me made (unlike the commercial type you find in most supermarkets) with a simple sugar mixture instead of a strong alcohol base. Commonly used in many non baked items that need vanilla flavor, such as mixed drinks, shakes, and such.
