Coca-Cola discontinues Spiced flavor months after debut

Coca-Cola announced it is discontinuing production of its Spiced flavor just months after it was introduced to consumers.

The company added the flavor to its North America slate of soft drinks in February, with the company describing the drink as having the “classic taste of Coca-cola with refreshing bursts of raspberry and a curated blend of warm spiced flavors.”

The introduction of Spiced marked the first time the company had launched a new flavor permanently in more than three years.
