Coca-Cola has declared the arrival of Coca-Cola Spiced Soda with Raspberry Notes, a new, long-term addition to its portfolio. The audience all over the world is super excited about this. The company recently announced that the new soft drink combines an explosion of refreshing raspberry notes and spicy flavours with the classic Coca-Cola flavour.
It is surely new and sounds very delicious. The move is very bold, where people are still arguing about why Coke tastes different recently or why classic Coke is not making a comeback. In between all this, the new flavour has created new opinions and views, and the majority of them are about people being hyper-interested.
Coca-Cola has previously dabbled in flashy limited-edition products with different flavours, not to mention Japanese versions. The Coca-Cola Spiced is the brand's first long-term addition, serving all over the USA. The new flavour will be offered in sugared and sugar-free forms when it launches in US and Canadian markets in the upcoming weeks. So, one can taste the flavour even when they are on a strict diet and want to drink something to make their day.
Spiced Soda with Raspberry Notes was chosen in response to consumer demands for stronger, bolder flavours. It was also chosen concerning the increase in consumers' willingness to sample spiced drinks, according to Sue Lynne Cha, vice president of marketing for Coca-Cola in North America.
The raspberry taste was chosen by more than 5 million people in the company's Freestyle drink machines in 2022 and served as the basis for the new flavour. The company admitted that the bolder flavours and the more nuanced flavour profiles were surely making quite an impression on the crowd. It almost seemed like people didn't want regular flavours but something new, choosing their favourites. They said that they noticed the trend in drinks and food and felt it was a special place to play. Cha also opinionated the drink and the choice similarly.
Beverage Digest's editor and publisher, Duane Stanford, also pointed out that cola sales have been declining for years while flavoured drink sales have been rising steadily, thanks partly to an increasingly diverse populace. Hence, all this makes the Spiced Soda with Raspberry Notes a great way for the company's return in the market, again at the top.
Most national merchants will start selling Coca-Cola Spiced Soda with Raspberry Notes in different-sized cans and bottles on February 19. The Coca-Cola business announced the launch of this new beverage to cater to a larger demographic and suit consumers' ever-evolving tastes.
Coca-Cola is a carbonated and sweetened soft drink that's sold in over 200 countries. It was first made in 1886 by Dr. John Pemberton at Jacobs' Pharmacy in Atlanta, Georgia. The name Coca-Cola comes from two of its original ingredients: kola nuts and coca leaves. Coca-Cola was originally sold as a medicine to relieve exhaustion.
Fast forward to today, Cola is consumed worldwide and is the most known soft drink. More than 1.8 billion beverages will be sold by the company by 2023. What do you think of the new flavour? What are your views?
