Two New Flavours From Coke!

Coca-Cola introduces two new flavours to the market. Georgia Peach and California Raspberry Coke. If you're a fan of flavoured Coke you're going to want to give these a try! Can't wait to find these myself and take a taste.

More on the rollout from the folks at Delish.

Coke Looking To Expand PlantBottle's

Since it's introduction in 2009, Coca Cola's "PlantBottle" has seen quite a bit of success and acceptance. Now they're shooting for a 100% plant based recyclable bottle, rather than the current 30% plant based bottle. Kudos to the folks at Coca Cola for leading the way in sustainable manufacturing where bottles are concerned.
  

South Of The Border With Fanta

I finally ran across a bottle of Soda that I've been wanting to try for some time now. While out at my local pizza parlour I came across a bottle of Mexican Fanta Pineapple and brought it home. I've heard many people sing its praises over the years and now I've got the opportunity to see if all the hype is warranted. I like many fruit flavoured Sodas that are out there and I like pineapple, so I am hoping for the best with this one.
   The colour is very yellow, and reminds you of golden pineapple. Unlike most American Sodas, this bottle does not have a twist off cap. A church key is a necessity. The Soda is nicely effervescent and has a light pineapple scent to it. It has a nice carbonation and a good mouth feel to it. There's also a nice citrus bite with this one. The Soda is not overly sweet and the flavour is light and not in your face. It doesn't stand out like some Sodas would. There is a nice pineapple aftertaste, though that makes up for the lack of initial flavour hit. All in all a pleasingly refreshing drink. I'd have it again. It's a nice change from run of the mill fruit Sodas and the sometimes over-flavoured Fanta offerings in the Coke Freestyle machines. Our neighbours to the south did a good job with this one. I did have some worries about the ingredients list, but this is still a pretty good Soda, despite the chemistry involved in its making.


Ingredients:

Carbonated Water
Sugar
Citric Acid
Artificial and Natural Flavors
Sodium Benzoate
Modified Food Starch
Sodium Hexametaphosphate
Coconut Oil
Sucrose Acetate Isobutyrate
Yellow 5
Dioctyl Sodium Sulfosuccinate
Yellow 6

Mexican Fanta Pineapple gets a 7 out of 10.

Together. A New Coke Commercial

I must say that this is one of the better Coke commercials that I've seen in a long time. It's celebrating the 100th anniversary of the iconic Coke Bottle. And it's doing it in a very cool and unique way. David LaChapelle and Coca-Cola have come up with a great concept and carried it off very well.

Hot Time In The Old Town Tonight

Looks like the folks at Coca Cola are rolling out a new offering for the good folks in Japan. A self heating can of Canada Dry Ginger Ale. That's certainly strange, but I must say that I'd certainly be game to give it a try. The self heating can is the coolest feature, to my mind and a tech I'd like to see adopted in many other areas. Dr Pepper, (if I drank it anymore since they dissolved Dublin Dr Pepper) would be a great choice for a self heating can. Here's hoping that this Ginger Ale makes its way to a local Japanese store in my area!

Cokes Latest Hi Tech Gadget

Coca~Cola is planning on introducing a new type of soda fountain,, the Coca Cola Freestyle. It will host around 100 flavours of Coke branded Soda's and Barq's Root Beer. This is ingenuity at its best and I certainly am looking forward to the day one comes to a spot near me. I'll be a frequent guest!



We can look forward to a rollout in 2010. I can't wait. Peach Sprite sounds pretty tasty.
