“Coca-Cola with Coffee is a true hybrid innovation that provides the perfect solution for that mid-afternoon pick-me-up we all want, especially in today’s work-from-home environment,” said Coca-Cola Trademark’s Brand Director Brandan Strickland, in a statement. “Many people are often torn between reaching for a soft drink or a coffee at 3 p.m. at work, at school or on the go.”
Strickland affirmed that The Coca-Cola Company created its coffee-infused beverage to bridge the caffeine gap consumers might feel between breakfast and lunch – all without dairy.
