Coke's Gen-Z drink pulled

Coca-Cola Spiced was the company's attempt to attract a younger audience.

Coca-Cola’s North American marketing chief Shakir Moin said when the drink was revealed that the new flavor was developed in just seven weeks compared to the 12 months plus that it usually takes to develop a new product, adding that the company is "disrupting" the way they are working internally to better meet customer demand.
