Coca-Cola's New AI-Generated Soda Flavor Falls Flat
(gizmodo.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
It’s just the latest in a long line of experimental, conceptual Coke flavours. Honestly, it’s something I’ve been saying for years; stop being constrained by imitating “real” flavours and let the flavour scientists loose, let 'em go nuts.
So far they've done:
Space (I liked that, hints of toasted carmel and raspberries)
Dream (Also good, a little bubblegummy, a little cotton candy-y, a little mangolike)
Transformation (Awful, like coke with coconut oil and a hint of turpentine)
Byte (Just decent, kind of indescribable)
Pixel (I never got to try it, it was US only, but by all descriptions it wasn't great)
Movement (A bit like theatre butter and cinnamon, it was okay but wasn't a fan)
And now AI flavour. I plan to give it a shot, but I don't expect much after their last two Tech-y flavours were eh.
Where do you get all these Coca Cola flavours? I'm in Germany and have only ever seen vanilla, lemon, cherry and life (next to the default, light and zero).
What does Coca Cola Life taste like?
Honestly it's awful, it tastes like someone forgot to add the sugary syrup to Coca Cola.
Bought a 500ml bottle for me and my gf as we were curious, and we didn't even manage to finish the bottle between us...
