This week, images of a transparent Coca-Cola went viral on social media, which has the same packaging we already know, but a completely different liquid from the dark one we are used to. But, ultimately, is it real news or fake? What would clear soda taste like? We know a little about this story.
In 2018, Coca-Cola innovated in Japan, leaving many people amazed with a clear version of the dark soft drink we already knew. So yes! Clear soda really exists and those who have tried it say that the taste is very similar to the original drink.
Coca-Cola’s transparent revolution in Japan
Coca-Cola Clear, as it is called in Japan, has won the hearts of consumers in the Land of the Rising Sun. And make no mistake, this isn’t just sparkling water disguised as soda. Coca-Cola Clear is a unique drink, without colorings and with zero calories, but with a flavor very close to that of the original Coca-Cola.
The big difference compared to the traditional version is the absence of caramel, the component responsible for Coca-Cola’s characteristic brown colour. This makes the clear version a little less sweet, even compared to Coca-Cola Zero. Furthermore, a special touch in the recipe is the 1% lemon juice, which adds a refreshing touch to the drink, making it particularly appreciated on hot days of the year.
For anyone who has tried Coca-Cola Light Lemon, the experience with the Clear version will be familiar. Although Coca-Cola Light Lemon is no longer available in Brazil, it is still sold in the United States. Interestingly, adding a slice of lemon to Coca-Cola is a common practice among drink lovers in Brazil, demonstrating how the success of Coca-Cola Light Lemon in the 2000s has left an indelible mark on drinking habits.
The origin of transparent Coca-Cola
The idea for Coca-Cola Clear came from the brand’s Japanese headquarters, but its creation took place in the United States. Despite this, the drink is officially only sold in Japan, but you can also find it in other Asian countries, such as Taiwan, China and Malaysia, via import services.
Despite being launched a few years ago, there are no plans to sell transparent Coca-Cola in Brazil yet. Therefore, those interested in trying this new product should look for alternatives, such as traveling to Japan or importing.
Transparent Coca-Cola and Japanese culture
In Japan, Coca-Cola Clear has already become part of the culture and is consumed as much as the traditional version, which remains on the shelves. The 2018 innovation, which brought different flavors and colors of the drink, represented a milestone in the history of the brand.
The absence of dyes and chemicals that normally give Coca-Cola its color is the secret behind the transparency of the drink, which has been called “Clear”. Although it is a success, especially among young people in Japan, sales have not been expanded worldwide.
In Brazil, the expectation of finding transparent Coca-Cola on the shelves has not yet materialized. However, many Brazilians have resorted to alternative ways to purchase the drink, including clandestine trade, mainly on the Internet.
