Coca-Cola Fans React to the Return of Diet Coke Lime
Under Markie Devo’s post spilling the tea (or soda) on Coca-Cola’s plans, fans fizzed with excitement over the return of Diet Coke Lime.
“Omg! They just need to bring this and the diet cherry Coke back permanently,” one soda lover gushed. “Am I dreaming or is this real???” a second Coca-Cola acolyte added. “Omggggg yessss I add true lime packets to my Diet Coke every day so this is amazing,” a third fan chimed in.
Of course, you can’t please everyone.
“But they couldn’t put the diet Cherry Coke nationwide?! Ugh,” a forlorn soda lover whined.
Earlier this summer, Retro Diet Cherry Coke returned to shelves for a limited time, proving a big hit with fans.
Coca-Cola also dusted off its iconic “Share a Coke” campaign after more than a decade, hoping to reel in a younger crowd with a taste of the good old days.
In January, Coca-Cola also reintroduced regular Lime Coke, a flavor that had been off shelves for 18 years, for a limited time.
