Diet Cherry Coke likely to make comeback in US market after 4 years: Report

After a gap of four years, international beverage firm Cola Cola is most likely to bring back its classic Diet Cherry Coke in the US market, reported Economic Times.

Diet Cherry Coke was launched in 1985 but discontinued in 2020. Citing a January report by the digital media outlet Parade, ET mentioned that the Diet Cherry Coke may make a comeback to the shelves with retro packaging during the summer season.

Claiming a comeback of the classic drink, popular social media creator Snack-O-Lator later shared the news on its Instagram channel. It added that Diet Cherry Coke is making a comeback better than ever.

“Diet Cherry Coke is returning for a limited time with retro packaging!,” the post read.

Are you excited for some Diet Cherry Coca-Cola goodness?”

Diet Coke is reportedly popular among consumers as it is a classic soda fountain beverage with flavours, including Diet Cherry Coke. Meanwhile, there are also calls for the return of Diet Coke with Lime.
