Beverage giant Coca-Cola announced this week it is introducing a new limited-time beverage named Coca-Cola Starlight.
The new beverage, which will be available on North American shelves on February 21, will be "reminiscent of stargazing around a campfire, as well as a cooling sensation that evokes the feeling of a cold journey to space", according to Market Watch.

For the first time since the pandemic began, the volume of Coke products being sold for use outside of the home in the fourth quarter exceeded the levels recorded in 2019, the company said.
Coke said it expects to deliver adjusted revenue growth of 7% to 8% this year, ahead of its typical forecast of 4% to 5%. Chairman and CEO James Quincey said that’s partly due to markets reopening around the world, but also because of planned price increases to offset rising costs for commodities like sugar and aluminum cans as well as transportation.
