In February of this year, the Coca-Cola Company announced in a press release that the popular drink Sprite will be available in a new flavor. Cucumber-flavoured Sprite carbonated water will be released specifically for the Russian market, and it is here that it will appear before the public for the first time. Such an event happened for the first time in 20 years of the existence of the drink in our country, although abroad there have long been various variations of the familiar citrus-flavored water: lemon, lime, grapefruit. There is a ginger drink, and even a caffeinated energy drink.

Also, especially for residents of Eastern countries, they released a carbonated drink Sprite with an extract of real green tea. Despite the release of the novelty, the classic and so familiar to everyone "Sprite" will not disappear anywhere, but will also be available for sale on a par with cucumber. Reviews of "Sprite" (cucumber) have already appeared on Internet forums, but let's talk about the classics. How can you remove a drink from the shelves of showcases that has been there for 28 years? After all, he has become a legend and occupies an important place in the hearts of Russian citizens.

Why cucumber?

After the release of information about the new "Sprite" (cucumber flavor), manybegan to wonder: why, in fact, a cucumber? Many surveys have shown that the main target audience of the drink considers cucumber water a great way to quench their thirst.

In addition, it is often served in catering establishments in the summer, when the issue of quenching thirst is much more acute than at any other time of the year. This can also explain the release time of "Sprite" with the taste of cucumber - the end of spring. After all, it is in May that the heat begins.

First reviews of "Sprite" with cucumber

As soon as the new drink appeared on store shelves, the first customers began to leave reviews about it on numerous websites, forums, and also in public polls. After the study, it turned out that the reviews about "Sprite" with cucumber are very ambiguous: a certain percentage of respondents claim that the new ingredient only spoiled the drink. They are sure they will never buy this lemonade again.

Some of the people who reviewed the cucumber drink said that the new taste is worth trying for the sake of variety, to make sure that the classic Sprite taste is the best. But most of those who have tasted "Sprite" with the taste of cucumber left positive reviews. They claim that this lemonade has a new, refreshing, bright taste! These people claim that it will be remembered for a long time and will be an excellent option to quench your thirst both in the hot summer and in any other period of the year.

Who wantstaste?

Reviews about "Sprite" (cucumber) are very interesting to read. We can say that there are much more positive reviews here than others, and, of course, all those who have not yet done so will want to try the drink.

Different from the classics

For those who haven't tried the new cucumber-flavored lemonade yet, a few words can be said. Due to the addition of cucumber extract to the drink, the classic lemon-lime taste of "Sprite" has acquired a well-tangible note of cucumber, which is very difficult not to notice. Despite this, the taste of lemon remained in the lemonade, and now they are on an equal footing with the cucumber. Thus, in the new drink, both tastes are felt at once: both the familiar lemon and the completely new - cucumber.

Composition "Sprite" (cucumber)

Many people ask how the new "Sprite" was made? What is so interesting about its creators? The composition of this drink is actually somewhat different from our usual lemon-lime. Here you can immediately say - a new taste appeared due to the addition of cucumber extract to the drink.

Also in the new Sprite, its original ingredients remained: water, sugar, citric acid, sodium citrate, natural flavors, two types of preservatives (sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate). Also here, as usual, ascorbic acid acted as an antioxidant. Actually, the composition differs from the previous drink only by the addition of cucumber extract, and so, it remained the same not quitehe althy carbonated water.

Cost of novelty

The price of "Sprite" (cucumber) is identical to the cost of the classic drink "Sprite" both when you buy lemonade in the store and when you order it at home. By the way, shipping is cheap. If you buy a drink in the capital of our country, then on average you can spend about 67 rubles per 1 liter bottle.

If you buy the product in bulk, you can pay less. Of course, you can find lemonade on sale and get it for much less than usual. It should be noted that new products are rarely participants in various promotions. And yet, if you try, you can find such an option among the offers of a large number of supermarkets.

What happens next?

It's been almost six months since the release of the novelty from Coca-Cola. What to expect next? In the United States of America, carbonated drinks with various unusual flavors have long appeared - grilled chicken, fried bacon, sweet corn, pumpkin pie, peanut butter. Does the Russian carbonated drinks market have the same future?

Of course, no one can give exact information about this. But fans of lemonades are already expecting something new and unusual from lemonade, which has long been loved not only in our country. Everyone wonders what taste will be next: tomato, potato, dill? Or maybe new items will have to wait another twenty years? Nobody knows the exact answer tothis question, but everyone really hopes that the development of an amazing company will not stop here.
