I Find Out What Dreams Really Taste Like
What does a dream taste like? Coca-Cola thinks it knows the answer. Similar to how the soft drink company's Coke Byte tried to replicate the taste of "pixels" and Coke Starlight sought to remind drinkers of "space," the new Coke Dreamworld takes on another ineffable flavor, dreams.
Coke launched Coca-Cola Creations in February as a platform for a series of limited-edition flavors featuring "unique innovations and unexpected collaborations." Coca-Cola said that Coke Dreamworld "bottles up the technicolor tastes and surrealism of the subconscious." Dreamworld will be the fourth and last Coca-Cola Creations flavor released in 2022.
As with the other Coca-Cola Creations flavors, I decided to try this new version of Coke to see what dreams taste like. Learn all about Coke Dreamworld, including how it tastes and when you can try it yourself. For more, see what Coca-Cola's Marshmello Coke tastes like.
What does Coca-Cola Dreamworld taste like?
Coca-Cola said its new Dreamworld Coke tastes like dreams, so I put it to the test. I received a small aqua-colored can, which immediately made me think of cotton candy. Don't worry, that's not what this Coke tastes like.
It arrived warm, so I poured it over ice -- the soda is the same color as a regular Coke. It had a fruity candy smell -- like Skittles mixed with Coca-Cola -- but it definitely didn't taste the same way. I immediately got a citrus flavor from this soda, but I thought the overall flavor was similar to Marshmello's limited-edition Coke.
As with the previous Coca-Cola releases, I could taste the aspartame because I received the Zero Sugar version of Dreamworld. I'm curious to know how the regular version tastes and if the fruity, citrusy flavor is more noticeable.
So far, Coke Byte is still my favorite from the Coca-Cola Creations line.
Dreamworld
Starting Monday, you'll be able to find Coca-Cola Dreamworld in the US. There will be both regular and zero-sugar options available and will be sold by the bottle -- like Coca-Cola Starlight, as well as in cans.
You should be able to find Coke Dreamworld in grocery stores and gas stations near you. If you don't immediately see it on Monday, find out when the store gets new inventory or ask an employee when the new Coke will arrive.
Coca-Cola didn't say how long this new flavor would be available.
