Coca-Cola Spiced wasn't the hit the company hoped it would be among consumers.
Just six months after launching the new flavor, Coca-Cola is pulling it from store shelves, even though the spicy soda was intended to be a permanent part of the beverage giant's lineup.
While it's still billed as a new flavor on Coca-Cola's website, the company told CBS MoneyWatch that the variety will cease to exist. "We're always looking at what our customers like and adjusting our range of products," a spokesperson said in a statement. "As part of this strategy, we're planning to phase out Coca-Cola Spiced to introduce an exciting new flavor in 2025."
The co-founder of the company that owned the experimental submersible that imploded en route to the wreckage of the Titanic described lofty goals when the company was created, telling the U.S. Coast Guard on Monday that the company wanted to create multiple deep-water submersibles that could be deployed around the world.
