New from Coke: A 'carbonated fusion' of caffeine and aspartame.
Mmmmmm, yummy
Coca Cola Blak: shit in a bottle
Soft drink makers are always coming out with new flavors they hope will click with consumers.The Coca Cola Company has high hopes for Coke Blak, it's new "carbonated fusion beverage." The clever marketing people at Coke say Blak "fuses Coke effervescence with coffee essence."
The French have been able to sip Coke Blak for a few months now, but it just arrived in U.S. supermarkets last week. Blak comes in distinctive 8-ounce bottles (a 4-pak will run you around $6).
Each bottle has 45 calories, about half as much as you'll get in a 16-ounces bottle of regular coke. It also has about twice the caffeine.
For those who care about how their beverages are sweetened, Coke Blak has high fructose corn syrup and two artificial sweeteners - aspartame and acesulfame potassium.
