[edit] Coca-Cola Classic

The original Coca-Cola. From its introduction in 1886 until 1985, when original Coca-Cola was temporarily replaced with New Coke, the product was known simply as Coca-Cola. A few months after New Coke's introduction, the original formula of Coca-Cola was reintroduced as Coca-Cola Classic. The formula for original Coca-Cola does not specify the amount of carbonation or what type of sugar is to be used, allowing for high fructose corn syrup, sucrose, fructose, cane sugar, or a combination. When Coca-Cola Classic was reintroduced in 1985, U.S. Coca-Cola bottlers switched to using entirely high fructose corn syrup as a sweetener. In other countries, Coca-Cola uses sucrose or fructose and may have a different amount of carbonation compared to Coca-Cola made in the U.S. Because of this, Coca-Cola from Mexico, for example, does not taste exactly the same as Coca-Cola from the U.S., although the formula for the syrup used is the same in every country.

[edit] New Coke

Introduced in 1985 and maybe discontinued. Formally named just Coca-Cola, and then Coke II.

[edit] Coca-Cola Cherry

Mention the rebranding to Coca-Cola Cherry.

[edit] Coca-Cola with Lime

[edit] Coke Sakto

• Found a newspaper article: BusinessWorld, November 18, 2005, Friday, Pg. S4/9, 856 words, Nanette Franco-Diyco
• Sold in the Philippines, bottled by San Miguel Corporation
• Regular Coke in a 200 mL returnable glass bottle, 5 pesos

[edit] Kosher for Passover Coke

Yellow cap, 2 L bottle, sold in the U.S. in areas with high Jewish population. Might be more on this in an old revision of Coca-Cola.

[edit] Coke Sango

Blood orange-flavored, sold in France and Belgium, maybe elsewhere. See French Wikipedia.

[edit] Lemon Coke

See French Wikipedia

[edit] Coke Citra

Probably redirect its page here, as there's not much content. Mention that Japanese and Mexican versions are apparently different. Also similar to Coke with Lime

[edit] Coke M5

Could conceivably mention that this is not a variety of Coke

[edit] Caffeine-free and diet versions

Try to find all varieties. Diet Coke: sweetened with Splenda, Coke Light, C2, Zero, other? Note that sometimes the diet variety comes out before the regular variety.

[edit] More to do

Make title of cc brands link here. Maybe find bottle images and scale them down so they fit and better qualify as fair use. Maybe mention that you can add your own flavorings to Coke, or at the top say that these are the varieties of Coke bottled by Coca-Cola. Update brand portfolio links, related product links, etc. on existing Coke pages, especially on Diet Coke.

Categorize this page, and check categories on the other pages. Add Main article: Coca-Cola Cherry links. Add diet and caffeine-free versions to the timeline?
