Green Tea Coke

Coke is more popular (and more prevalent) here than Pepsi - but both soft drink makers come out with some interesting ideas for marketing their product.

This time, it's Coke, which is selling a green tea flavour, non-calorie, and with added catechins version of their trademark beverage. I just happened to see it at a local convenience store yesterday on the way to a friend's place:


Edit: The Taste - This coke tasted very much like any generic diet cola, not green tea flavoury at all:-(

You have to give them credit for creative marketing. You could probably do a photoblog strictly on the packaging and flavours of soft drinks given the frequency of special marketing campaigns. Hope you are enjoying your summer. TTYL

Here in Canada, Canada Dry is selling a ginger ale with green tea flavour added. Maybe the trend is spreading?
