Yesterday, I tried the new Coca-Cola Spiced. Of course, as I typically do, when I try new things, I did a video. I mean, I had to give y'all an honest review. You can't be out here wasting your hard-earned money on something that may or may not be gross. So what did it taste like? Is it worth checking out? I'll answer all of these questions in the next couple of minutes.

The Story Behind The Spice

Late last year it came out that Coke was announcing a new flavor. They've had a bunch of limited edition flavors come out and go away over the past several years, but this one would be different. This flavor is staying around. This is Coke's first new flavor in three years, it's available in regular and zero-sugar options. It isn't a limited edition. So if you like it, you won't have to stockpile it before you can't find it anymore.

Coke describes the new flavor as Coca-Cola with a "burst of refreshing notes from raspberry and spiced flavors". Now I'm sure you're probably thinking what I was thinking when you first heard that. Raspberry-flavored Coke? Uhhhh hard pass! However, then I started thinking, you know what, don't knock it 'til you've tried it. Maybe it's good.

If nothing else, I felt like I needed to try it once to do a review video. Look, I've tried all of the other new flavors that have come out over the last several years, gotta try this one too. I'm providing a community service here! Ok, maybe that's a little strong, but I can at least offer you an honest opinion. If you want more info on the new Coke flavor, just click here.
