Coca-Cola is Introducing Several New Drinks

According to USA Today, Coca-Cola is introducing several new drinks, including a lemonade version of Sprite.

Sprite Lymonade blends the lemon-lime taste of the clear soda with lemonade, including 1 percent lemon juice.  The drink, 220 calories for a 20-ounce bottle, doesn't come in a diet version.

Sparkling lemonade is a fast growing category, mainly due to new entrants and innovation.  Over the past 52 weeks the category has grown 136 percent.

Minute Maid Tomato Juice Blend is the first 100 percent vegetable blend for Minute Maid.  It includes carrot, celery, cucumber and beet juices.  Each 12-ounce bottle has 70 calories.  Both beverages go on sale in the first quarter of 2019.

What traditionally were soda companies now look beyond beverages to drive sales, because soda consumption isn't what it once was.  Click on the above link for more information.
