Rafael Acevedo, Group Director for Diet Coke North America, explains the company's thinking behind its largest overhaul since the drink was introduced in 1982. Diet Coke is rolling out four new flavors for 2018.
Acevedo explains the company spoke to over 10,000 people, or "style seekers" as he calls them, who are seeking adventure and bold, new flavors in their lives. Acevedo says all packaging graphics are changing, and so far they're testing significantly better than the older ones.
Acevedo assures customers Diet Coke's original formula will not be changing. The no calorie beverage will be getting four new flavors: Feisty Cherry, Ginger Lime, Twisted Mango, and Zesty Blood Orange.
Some small grocery stores and neighborhood convenience stores are eager for the U.S. government shutdown to end and for their customers to start receiving federal food aid again. Late last month, the Trump administration froze funding for the SNAP benefits that about 42 million Americans use to buy groceries. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says about 74% of the assistance was spent last year at superstores like Walmart and supermarkets like Kroger. Around 14% went to smaller stores that are more accessible to SNAP beneficiaries. A former director of the United Nations World Food Program says SNAP is not only a social safety net for families but a local economic engine that supports neighborhood businesses.
