Coke to launch coffee-infused Coke Blak

2 hours, 5 minutes ago

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE:KO - news), the world's No. 1 soft drink company, on Wednesday said it will launch a coffee-infused soft drink called Coca-Cola Blak in various markets around the world in 2006.

The news of the launch came hours before Coke Chief Executive Neville Isdell was scheduled to address financial analysts and investors in New York.

The new drink, a combination of Coca-Cola Classic and coffee extracts, will be first launched in France in January before being rolled out in the United States and other markets during 2006.

A Coke spokesperson said Coca-Cola Blak will be a mid-calorie drink, similar to Coca-Cola C2, which was launched in April 2004 and contains half the sugar, calories and carbohydrates of regular colas. The formula for the new beverage is expected to vary based on local tastes.

Analysts have said one of the keys to the company's future is capturing more consumers who have moved away from sugary soft drinks to diet versions, or to healthier low- or no-calorie beverages.

Hahah are they trying to go more upscale with this? "Blak?" Gimme a break. This is nothing more than Coca-Cola for yuppies.

Just what the young generation needs to be drinking.. coffee infused coca cola.

Why dont they just start putting cocaine back into their cola.

Caffeine (and high doses of it) are in so many drinks these days. I'm curious to know what it is doing to our nervous systems. We'll I actaully have a good idea, I just wonder to what extent.

I hope this move prompts Kraft to bring the Jacobs Icepresso drinks to the North American market.. I was so addicted to these when I was in Europe
