Rumor has it from some insiders that coke may be releasing Rasberry Coke in the USA mid-to-late 2007.

Dear Coke Gods,
Please roll out a HFCS/Sugar version of this rumored Raspberry Coke. YUM!!!!! Let's keep our fingers crossed and our pallets moist. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Just got some unconfirmed news that it would actually be a diet version, sorry for the the mix up.

Can any one confirm?

seriously, whats with all the brands going diet-only now? sure, there are a lot of diet drinkers, but what about the regular drinkers? dont they have a say in it too?

Look at all the demos and sales data. Diet Drinks rule out there as far as growth. Americans are finally starting to get it(Except Mr. Zabe [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) about sugar in their drinks!

Just messing around Zabe! No harm meant.

The regular drinkers need to increase their consumption then! Regular CSD's have been on a major decline due to people switching to diets, non carbonated beverages, energy drinks, etc. Diets have been the only CSD's with growth of any kind...which is why these new flavors are coming out in non sugar variations.

I think that's the main driver behind innovation like this - people ARE switching from reg's to diets, and the BIG 3 may be thinking consumers may be more likely to try a diet that's flavored... like this Rasp Coke (or Diet Coke), Caramel Creme Diet Pepsi Jazz, etc. etc.

AWESOME!!!

So I got some Raspberry Coke 20oz... regular and diet... from new zealand... since everyone is excited who wants to buy it and help recover some of my money. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Diet soda pop ain't nothing put artificial rat's piss. LMAO [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img]

No AMERICANS don't get it! End the Sugar tarrifs! Real sugar is the best of the sweetners to put in your body. If we had no tarrifs we would have better product and healthier soft drinks. Hell, kill the Cuban Embargo, Cuba is no threat to the US and the embargo only hurts Americans.
