"Big brands giveth, and big brands taketh away. When a company is nearly 140 years old, it's bound to have some missteps in its history - and whether those include introducing products that failed or discontinuing those products when they still had a fan base depends on whether you're part of said fan base. Coca-Cola may be one of the best-selling brands in the world, but for every smash hit soda, it's got a dud on its resume."
"Diet Coke has been one of the world's most popular diet soft drinks since 1982, but Coca-Cola wasn't about to just leave a good thing alone. In 2018, the company unveiled four flavored Diet Coke varieties: Twisted Mango, Ginger Lime, Zesty Blood Orange, and Feisty Cherry. The move was intended to freshen up Diet Coke's image on the heels of a rare sales drop. Some of these flavors instantly fell flat."
Diet Coke has been a leading diet soft drink since 1982. In 2018, Coca-Cola introduced four flavored Diet Coke varieties—Twisted Mango, Ginger Lime, Zesty Blood Orange, and Feisty Cherry—to refresh Diet Coke's image after a rare sales drop. Some flavors underperformed, and Feisty Cherry overlapped confusingly with the existing Diet Coke Cherry. Twisted Mango stood out with an intense, sweet tropical flavor and became widely popular as an alternative option. The flavored lineup featured sleek, tall 12-ounce cans targeted at millennials. The four-flavor lineup was discontinued in 2020, removing Twisted Mango despite fan disappointment.
