Coca-Cola Spiced is the first permanent new flavor in four whole years
Coca-Cola has just launched a brand new flavor called Spiced, and it’s the first one in four whole years.
It arrived in the US and�Canada on Wednesday (February 19) as a permanent addition to the Coca-Cola lineup.
Coca-Cola launches Spiced
Coca-Cola Spiced is a combination of normal Coca-Cola, raspberry and spiced flavors, but the exact spices haven’t been revealed.
“Its CocaCola, only spiced,” the drink giant’s website says. “CocaCola Spiced transforms the familiar into the extraordinary.”
“Blending the iconic taste of CocaCola with a burst of refreshing notes from raspberry and spiced flavors, CocaCola Spiced offers an uplifting taste experience.”
Coca-Colas North American marketing chief Shakir Moin told The Associated Press that the new flavor comes as consumers’ “taste palettes have evolved”.
The amount of spiciness people like has gone up, and Coca-Cola quickly realised this could be a big opportunity for them.
It’s the first permanent new flavor to launch in the US and Canada since Cherry Vanilla, which arrived in February 2020.
Where to buy Coca-Cola Spiced
The new option is available nationwide at retailers that usually sells Coca-Cola, including huge chains and local stores.
That means you should be able to get it at Walmart, Target, Kroger, Publix and loads more – and there are so many sizes available.
Coca-Cola Spiced comes in a sleek new 12-ounce can, 12-ounce twelve packs, 10-pack mini cans, 2-litre bottles and more.
Plus, it’s available in a Zero Sugar version with no calories. The normal version contains 250 calories per 12 fl oz serving.
Permanent new flavor tastes fruity
Instagram food influencer Markie Devo said the new flavor smells like fruity gum, “almost like a fruity Trident scent”.
He added that the first sip gave him a mix of “classic Coke with fruity Kool-Aid” and raspberry is the main flavor you taste.
In fact, he said he didn’t actually get much spiciness at all, but the fruity notes mixed with the classic Coke are “super delish”.
It comes as Coca-Cola has also just launched a new limited-edition flavor called Happy Tears, with a “splash of salty minerals”.
The cool new addition is supposed to imitate the taste of tears, and it’s available exclusively on TikTok Shop.
