最近可口可樂(lè)公司宣布將在日本市場(chǎng)推出新款酒精飲料,但是你不知道的是可口可樂(lè)曾經(jīng)推出過(guò)多種奇怪的可樂(lè),而這些可樂(lè)你可能都未聽(tīng)過(guò)。
The Coca-Cola Company announced it’ll be adding a new alcoholic beverage to its portfolio exclusively in the Japanese market. The low-alcohol drink, or Chu-Hi, will be a watered-down mixture of the shōchū spirit plus flavoring. This isn’t the first time Coca-Cola has experimented with flavors and tastes, especially in Japan.
可口可樂(lè)公司(Coca-Cola Company)宣布將在日本市場(chǎng)推出新款酒精飲料。這種低酒精飲品,或者叫Chu-Hi,就是給酒精含量較低的燒酒加上各種口味。這不是可口可樂(lè)第一次嘗試新口味,尤其是在日本市場(chǎng)。
Not all flavors are successful, but the unique flavors deserve a round of applause. Below are five other unusual Coca-Cola products that were released.
新口味不見(jiàn)得都能大獲成功,不過(guò)開(kāi)發(fā)獨(dú)特口味的嘗試值得贊揚(yáng)。下面是其他五種不同尋常的可口可樂(lè)產(chǎn)品。

新可口可樂(lè)

1985年,這家有著99年歷史的公司決定放棄傳統(tǒng)的可口可樂(lè)配方,推出一款更新更甜的產(chǎn)品,以期與百事可樂(lè)(Pepsi)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)。味覺(jué)盲測(cè)表明,與舊配方相比,人們普遍更喜歡新的可樂(lè)配方。然而,在決定更換配方的三個(gè)月后,公司宣布經(jīng)典的可口可樂(lè)重回市場(chǎng)。
