It's been discontinued!!! NO!!! I love vanilla coke! Here are the official details as to why they aren't making it anymore.
"Doubt was cast over the future of Vanilla Coke and its splinter beverages as it was revealed that 2004 sales amounted to 35 million unit cases in North America, compared to 90 million in its inaugural year. Vanilla Diet Coke dropped by almost half since debuting in 2003 with 23 million unit cases sold, it fell to just 13. [11]
IOn November 3, 2005, the Cola-Cola Company announced that Vanilla Coke and its diet counterpart would be discontinued in the United Kingdom by early 2006. A day later it was announced that it would be phased out in North America by the end of 2005.
Coca-Cola introduced Black Cherry Vanilla Coke and Diet Black Cherry Vanilla Coke in North America in January 2006. The company said Vanilla Coke and Diet Vanilla Coke may be made available again in the future. [12]
"We are exploring ways to bring them back at another time, but right now Diet Black Cherry Vanilla Coke and Black Cherry Vanilla Coke are what consumers are telling us they want." [13]"
Stupid black cherry vanilla coke....It tastes like cough syrup.

I live in Michigan and Vanilla Coke is available here. Kroger's makes a vanilla cola that i like even better. If you can't find it it is just as easy to add a dash of vanilla extract yourself, trust me you wont be able to taste the difference.

It was taken off the market in my state which is Michigan. I run a truck stop and it did not sell so smart business is to try something new and they have try coke black or they have slammers now and some new product i will get on Monday,In my opinion it was nasty and Coke was smart to pull it.

You have to look for it.
I think it might have been superseded for the vanilla black cherry coke

because thet are promoting the sugar free stuff like mad and there's no room for the vanilla stuff.
IMO it all tastes the same anyway

Depending where you are and what stock is left for the local area. I think it wasn't a viable marketing strategy

probably because they took it off the market - or there is a vanilla shortage.

It is still available in certain areas; we still have it in Texas.
If you're willing to pay for it, you can have it shipped to you!
