Coca-Cola confirms soda is discontinued and tells customers 'so sorry for your disappointment'

FANS have called for a popular Coke flavor to be restocked after the soda brand was forced to apologize.

The can in question is the Coca-Cola Plus Coffee, which was discontinued in 2022.

The news left many fans begging for its return and drinking out-of-date soda.

Even a year later, the brand is still apologizing for axing the hugely popular flavor.

They added: "It was the best drink in years. Please bring it back."

On Twitter, one fan messaged the brand and said: "Can you guys send me two cases of coffee cokes you may have lying around the warehouse?

"I just found out they were discontinued. I'm a big fan of them. Thank you."

Coca-Cola replied: "We're so sorry for your disappointment.

"The availability of any of our brands depends on overall consumer demand. If the demand is low, the product will be discontinued."

The popular drink was introduced in 2021 alongside two other flavors.

Dark Blend, Vanilla, and Caramel hit the shelves with two zero-sugar options and a Mocha flavored soda.

The coffee drink was made with Brazilian coffee extract and the product had more caffeine than a bottle of Coke but less than a cup of coffee.

While the flavor previously had huge success in Japan, it did less well in the US.

Though market research suggested it would quickly become a firm favorite with 80 percent of people who tasted it saying they would buy it, sales flopped.

However, among those who love the flavor, one even resorted to drinking an expired can.

On Reddit, one user said: "I just learned about it [being discontinued] not too long ago, I'm currently drinking an expired one but it's so good - if only I found them earlier."

Another even suggested that someone should lose their job over the decision.

The user wrote: "This is stupid. Someone needs to get fired! I love coke with coffee, it always wakes me up! They found a money tree and cut it down!"

The continued apologies from the soda brand come as fans continue to demand the return of Diet Coke Lime which was discontinued in 2018.
