“We’re always looking at what our consumers like and adjusting our range of products. As part of this strategy, we’re planning to phase out Coca-Cola Spiced to introduce an exciting new flavor in 2025,” the company said in a statement to WSB.

Coco-Cola introduced the flavor in February and said it would be “permanent.”

The spice flavor features a hint of raspberry, WSB reported.
