Coca-Cola with Lime is a special version of the classic Coca-Cola drink. It tastes like regular Coke but with a refreshing lime flavor added. This fizzy drink first came out in North America in early 2005.
The idea for Coca-Cola with Lime came from people really liking Diet Coke with Lime, which was released in 2004. Even though it was stopped in North America in 2006, you can still find Coca-Cola with Lime in many countries around the world.

Advertisements
The first TV advertisement for Coca-Cola with Lime appeared during the show American Idol on March 7, 2005. The ad used a fun, edited version of the song "Coconut" by Harry Nilsson. The lyrics were changed to "You put the lime in the Coke, you nut," which was a playful way to promote the new flavor.
