Fresh new flavors from Coca-Cola
On Wednesday, Jan. 22, Coca-Cola released four fresh new flavors of Diet Coke onto store shelves: Ginger Lime, Twisted Mango, Feisty Cherry, and Zesty Blood Orange. Which flavor is said to be #1? Additionally, what was the inspiration behind this new line of Diet Coke products? The answers to these questions, and more, are as follows…
According to a review on businessinsider.com, these Millennial-geared beverages range from “disappointing” to “intriguing.” Of course, it’s all up to personal opinion. Either way, though, according to this review by Kate Taylor, Ginger Lime receives the ranking of first. “Fans of Coca-Cola,” Taylor writes, “will appreciate this drink, which is accompanied by a nice snap of ginger flavor.”
Taylor placed Feisty Cherry in second place, Zesty Blood Orange in third, and Twisted Mango in fourth.
How did these new Coca-Cola products come to be? Chris Johnson, a beverage analyzer, told usatoday.com, “Consumers are looking for more healthy options and different flavors,” and flavors such as Ginger Lime seem to fit the bill.
The company has also been looking for new ways to appeal to a younger crowd: “Millennials are now thirstier than ever for adventures and new experiences, and we want to be right by their side,” said Rafael Acevedo of Coca-Cola North America.
These four feisty new flavors are being sold individually for just 99 cents! Why not give them a try?
