Coca-Cola discontinues Spiced flavor after just 6 months

Coca-Cola Spiced wasn't the hit the company hoped it would be among consumers. 

Just six months after launching the new flavor, Coca-Cola is pulling it from store shelves, even though the spicy soda was intended to be a permanent part of the beverage giant's lineup.

While it's still billed as a new flavor on Coca-Cola's website, the company told CBS MoneyWatch that the variety will cease to exist. "We're always looking at what our customers like and adjusting our range of products," a spokesperson said in a statement. "As part of this strategy, we're planning to phase out Coca-Cola Spiced to introduce an exciting new flavor in 2025."
