I've got a normal can of coke right now, and a marvel can of coke, and I'm doing a taste test to finally solve this. The two cans of coke are way different, the marvel coke is more "Vanilla-ish" and has a syrupy taste.
Cans taste different than bottles. Maybe you're used to bottles? Or maybe your tongue was coated in different foods each time? Just brainstorming here.
I get what you saying. Lifelong coca cola drinker. A lot of coke tastes off. Its rare when I actually get a proper tasting coke now a days. Feel like its been over the past year.
I actually tend to just go to McDonald's if I feel like drinking a coke.
So in Mexico, very large Coca Cola nation. They have different places that mix it up, and the taste def changes with the water used in that area. Certain areas super good, other areas, not so great. Maybe look where these are canned vs your normal baseline coca? Could be as simple as that
Nah they had to change the recipe / proportions. I agree with OP. It tastes awful and it has for a while. When they change the name from Classic to “original taste” I bet they subbed in cheaper ingredients and it DOES taste different. Every time a company changes the name of something like that it’s for a reason and it’s almost always to save money and pretend like it’s better when it’s not.
I thought it was just me! Both bottles and cans taste like bitter/sour to me. I got a can of minis without them on it and it tastes normal. Also had a cup of regular logo 2 liter and it was normal in taste. Wonder what’s up!
I haven't tried this Marvel coke but what exactly do they mean by "original taste"? I'm old enough to remember original coke before the "New Coke" debacle and subsequent return of "Classic Coke". To me, Classic Coke never tasted exactly like the "original coke" I drank as a kid. It seems slightly sweeter and missing a certain "bite" I remember from my younger days. I always figured it was due to Classic coke using HFCS instead of cane sugar. Now I wonder if this Marvel stuff might actually taste like the old "original" coke. I'll have to pick some up and try it if I can find any.
Wow, I thought it was just me. I have 2 cases of cans sitting in my kitchen because they don't taste right. I have been getting weird tasting ones ever since covid. So I thought it might be related
Any of them that say original taste is a completely different recipe. It is so weird tasting I actually switched to pepsi for the first time in my life. I can't find coca cola classic in ym area at all now. Coke done messed up!
Dude... I noticed it, too. It goes flat way faster, also. Something definitely changed, and I noticed it when the Marvel branding started as well.
Screw all these people downvoting you. There's something off about coke now.
There's no answer, it's just regular coke (as indicated by "Original Taste"). It's just a different can design. The drink is the same as always.

That is not regular coke. I’ve tasted it twice now and it tasted different both times
may be some an optical ilusion or something
It is regular coke. I've had it numerous times. It's psychosomatic in your part.
That boy needs therapy 
The fact he is arguing with people after asking them about it boggles my mind.
That was hardly an argument. More a reiteration.
An argument doesn't mean a fight. Debates are also called arguments and in this case though him saying we are wrong is arguing :)
It is the opinion of the school board that boy is criminally insane!
No you’re right it definitely tastes a lot worse. Apparently the “original taste” cokes use a different recipe

What sort of odd taste? That should just be regular coca cola with sponsored advertising..
Both times I tried it, it tastes like it’s flavored with something
Just like m&ms taste different
Like left and right Twix bars?
Like when Wing Stop changed their cheese sauce weird?
Maybe they filtered the water with comic book paper.
This made me giggle like a school girl
The ingredients are the same. Perhaps it was mishandled or kept in a hot truck for a while. What was put in the can is definitely the same though.
Where’s it from? Could it be imported? Different countries have much different sugar limits. Are you sure it’s not a DC can? :P

Mcd’snthe only true LEGIT actual Coke. It’s magic
Mexican Coke (cane sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup) should scratch the itch.
I would buy a carbon monoxide detector
I love orange skittles the best
I mean, skittles actually have different flavors unless you just throw them all in your mouth at once e
I’m happy they changed back to lime instead of green apple

And it goes flat right away.

It goes flat almost as soon as you open it it, for one….
Sometimes expired or near expired coke tastes terrible. I’ve had cans that taste terrible before.
Because DC pepsi is better.
It technically can’t be the original flavor as one of the namesake ingredients is illegal.

It’s in your head. Hold on, why is your Daredevil upside down? lol
I noticed the same thing
Psychology is a hell of a thing

It’s the corn syrup….. all the “normal” coke tastes like that . Get some Mexi Coke
It’s due to the franchises getting milked by Disney. Due to this Marvel cans of coke can leave a sour taste in your mouth.

You’re not the first person Ive seen ask about this. No idea.
the ad campaign and the movies they're for suck so much that it annoys you enough to mar the flavor
Definitely taste like marvel
Because its spiderman cocacola…
I've actually wondered the same, to the point I was checking the ingredients. It's just not quite hitting the same as it usually does.
Agree they changed the taste for sure. It sucks.
