Coca-Cola’s new stevia sweetened drink

After this press release was published in mid-2008 announcing a study of the safety of stevia as low calorie sweetener, many speculated that it was a hint of future plans for Coke. Well it has now been confirmed that Coca-Cola Bottling Co. will be manufacturing a juice which will use the exotic South American plant as a replacement for sugar. The drink will first be released in Japan while awaiting clearance from the FDA to use stevia as a food additive. The cola war continues: Coke 1 Pepsi 0.

Full Throttle Quick Shot

Pepsi ain’t got nothing on Coke, especially when it comes to energy drinks. Coca Cola’s Full Throttle Energy will introduce Full Throttle Quick Shot in the coming months and if it is half as good as all other Coca-Cola products we will be extremely impressed. It will be a non-carbonated drink that contains 125 milligrams of caffeine, plus the other energy ingredients that make the brand so popular, such as taurine, B-vitamins, L-carnitine and inositol, as well as ginsing and guarana extracts. This stuff makes Pepsi Max look Sleepy Time Tea.

Simply Orange WITH PINEAPPLE

Coca-Cola is far away the winner in the cola wars, and it is because of innovations such as this that you can always find a Coke in the Freshtoid Fridge (possibly in a fridge and on my desk at the same time.) Coca-Cola, the makers of Simply Orange, the best orange juice available, has announced a new flavor featuring everyone’s favorite fruit…pineapple. Freshtoid LOVES pineapples and is eagerly awaiting this product’s appearance in our local grocer’s refrigerator section.
