你可能從未喝過的怪味可口可樂

The Coca-Cola Company announced it had added a new alcoholic beverage to its portfolio exclusively in the Japanese market. The low-alcohol drink， or Chu-Hi， is a watered-down mixture of the shōchū spirit plus flavoring. This isnt the first time Coca-Cola has experimented with flavors and tastes.

可口可樂公司宣布其在日本市場推出了獨有的新款酒精飲料。這種低酒精飲品，或者叫Chu-Hi，就是給稀釋了酒精的燒酒加上各種口味。這不是可口可樂公司第一次嘗試推出各種口味的飲料。

可口可樂公司宣布其在日本市場推出了新款酒精飲料，但是你不知道的是可口可樂曾經推出過多種奇怪的可樂，而這些可樂你可能都未聽過。

Not all flavors are successful， but the unique flavors deserve a round of applause. Here are five other unusual Coca-Cola products that were released.

不是所有口味的飲料都能大獲成功，但口味獨特的飲料值得贊賞。這里是可口可樂公司推出過的其他五種不同尋常的產品。

Beverly

苦味可樂

Introduced in 1969， Beverly was an Italian aperitif， designed to be consumed before meals and believed to aid digestion. Competitors like Campari and San Pellegrino led to its discontinuation in 2009.

1969年，苦味可樂作為意大利開胃飲料而誕生。設計這款產品的初衷是在餐前飲用，促進消化。不過由于不敵競爭對手金巴利苦酒和圣培露礦泉水，苦味可樂于2009年停產。

OK Soda

OK汽水

This product was launched to capture the Generation X market in 1993. OK Soda cans had grim-looking illustrations in its ad campaign that responded to the idea that Generation X was cynical and disillusioned. Its slogan was “Things are going to be OK” and it even had its own manifesto. It was discontinued in 1995.

1993年，可口可樂公司推出這款產品，希望攻占“X一代”消費者的市場。廣告宣傳中，OK汽水罐上印著神情冷酷的頭像，與“X一代”憤世嫉俗、不抱幻想的思想和狀態相呼應。它的口號是“一切都會好的”，它甚至還有自己的宣言。1995年，OK汽水停產。

Coca-Cola Blak

咖啡可樂

Coffee in soda？ Coca-Cola had developed this recipe for two years and finally released the carbonated coffee drink in 2006. It hoped it would tap into the premium coffee markets， but just one year later Blak was discontinued.

咖啡味的汽水？可口可樂公司耗時兩年開發此配方，并最終于2006年推出咖啡味碳酸飲料。可口可樂公司希望它能打入高端咖啡市場，但僅僅一年后咖啡可樂就停產了。

New Coke

新可口可樂

In 1985， the 99-year-old company decided it was scrapping its classic Coca-Cola recipe for a sweeter version to compete with Pepsi. In blind taste tests， people generally preferred the new recipe compared to the old. But three months after making the switch， the company announced the return of the classic Coca-Cola.

1985年，這家有著99年歷史的公司決定放棄經典的可口可樂配方，推出一款更甜的產品，用以與百事可樂競爭。在味覺盲測中，與舊配方相比，人們普遍更喜歡新的可口可樂配方。然而在決定更換配方的三個月后，公司宣布經典的可口可樂重回市場。

Coca-Cola Plus

吸脂可樂

After more than a decade of research and development， Coca-Cola launched its first ever soda approved by the FOSHU food standard. The no-calorie and no-sugar drink contains fiber that will help suppress fat absorption and help moderate blood sugar levels.

經過十余年的研發，可口可樂公司推出了首款符合特定保健用食品標準的汽水。這款不含卡路里和糖分的吸脂可樂，含有抑制人體脂肪吸收和幫助調節血糖水平的纖維。
