According to <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Business\/wireStory\/diet-coke-drives-sales-surge-coca-cola-quarter-56805714\">ABC News<\/a>, the Atlanta-based soft drink maker will be releasing Coke Plus Coffee, which is exactly what it sounds like, coke plus coffee.<\/p>\n<p>The drink isn\u2019t entirely new, though. Coca-Cola has already released this product in Australia, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand, but the company plans to roll out Coke Plus Coffee to even more countries to boost sales; there has been no mention yet as to which countries the product will be making its way to. According to the article, Coca-Cola is seeing a decline in sales as they face \u201cgrowing concerns about sugar consumption, with the\u00a0United Kingdom, Mexico, South Africa and several U.S. cities implementing special\u00a0taxes\u00a0on sugary drinks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Coke Plus Coffee is said to have more caffeine than a normal can of Coke but still less than a cup of coffee.<\/p>\n<p>Initially, this combination of soda pop and coffee sounded weird, but the more I thought about it, the more I wanted it. Remember <a href=\"https:\/\/sprudge.com\/south-by-south-yeast-introducing-coffer-the-austin-born-fermented-coffee-soda-55747.html\">Coffer<\/a>? That was a real treat. Hot Dr. Pepper is delightful, and I don\u2019t even like Dr. Pepper (even admitting to this is sacrilege in Texas). Whiskey and coffee is tasty, whiskey and Coke is tasty, so it stands to reason that whiskey and Coke Plus Coffee must be <em>really<\/em> tasty. All I\u2019m saying is give it a chance. I\u2019ll be staying away from it. I don\u2019t want to risk a sugar relapse that would send me spiraling back down into a familiar trash heap of soda cans and candy bars wrappers.
