"Last Word"-Coke Goes Green
Friday, June 05, 2009SUZANNE PRATT: And finally tonight, they say things go better with Coke, but green tea? On Monday, Coca-Cola is rolling out a tea-flavored Coke in Japan. The drink contains antioxidants, leaves a slight green tea after taste and is aimed at young health conscious women. Coca-Cola is by far the leader in the cola market in Japan, but non-carbonated bottled drinks like green tea are catching on. And catching up is Coke rival Pepsi. Early this month in Japan Paul, Pepsi is rolling out a new cola flavored with, get this, with basil. And I only have one thing to say and that is yuck.
KANGAS: As the old saying goes, what will they think of next?
PRATT: Absolutely. Whatever happened to lemon, a simple lemon?
