Coca-Cola is dropping Coke Zero and adding a different diet option, the company announced on Wednesday. It said it will start selling Coca-Cola Zero Sugar in August.
A statement by the company in the US said the new drink option will have an updated look and a new taste.
It said: “Coca-Cola Zero Sugar is the new and improved Coke Zero. We’ve made the great taste of Coke Zero even better by optimizing the unique blend of flavors that gave Coke Zero its real Coca-Cola taste. Coca-Cola Zero Sugar is our best-tasting zero-sugar Coca-Cola yet, and it will be available across America in August.
Coca-Cola added that the Zero Sugar drink has sold well in over 30 countries around the world already.
“We’re confident that loyal Coke Zero fans will love the new-and-improved recipe, and that fans of original Coca-Cola fans – who are looking to reduce their sugar intake – will want to try it, too,” the release said.
