What are Caffeine-Free Coke Drinks?
These special Coca-Cola drinks are made for people who want to avoid caffeine. Caffeine is a substance that can make you feel more awake or energetic. Some people choose to avoid it, especially in the evening, so they can sleep better.
There are three main types of caffeine-free Coca-Cola drinks:
- Caffeine-Free Diet Coke
- Caffeine-Free Coca-Cola (the classic taste)
- Coca-Cola Zero Sugar Caffeine Free
These drinks were made to compete with similar caffeine-free sodas from other companies, like Pepsi Free.
Caffeine-Free Diet Coke: The First One
Caffeine-Free Diet Coke was the very first caffeine-free version of Coca-Cola. It was launched in 1983. This drink quickly became popular because it offered the taste of Diet Coke without the caffeine.
You can still find Caffeine-Free Diet Coke in countries like Canada, Spain, and the United Kingdom. It used to be sold in many other places around the world too.
Caffeine-Free Coca-Cola: The Classic Taste
After Caffeine-Free Diet Coke became a success, Coca-Cola decided to make a caffeine-free version of its classic soda. Caffeine-Free Coca-Cola was introduced in the United States in 1984.
For a short time in 1985, this drink used the less popular "New Coke" recipe. But by 1989, it switched back to the original classic Coca-Cola taste.
Sometimes, it can be hard to find Caffeine-Free Coca-Cola in stores. This might be because of issues with getting enough aluminum cans for all drink types. However, there isn't a shortage of cans right now.
This drink is also sold in other countries, including France, Italy, Portugal, and Spain. It was once available in places like Canada and Germany.
Coca-Cola Zero Sugar Caffeine Free: A Newer Option
In 2013, Coca-Cola introduced another caffeine-free option: Coca-Cola Zero Sugar Caffeine Free. This drink offers the taste of Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, but without any caffeine.
It was first sold in countries like France before it came to North America.
