Coca-Cola Cherry (originally known as "Cherry Coke", and then renamed to "Coca-Cola Cherry" in 2007 in the United States) is a Coca-Cola flavor first released in 1985, as a permanent flavor in the United States.
Description[]
Coca-Cola Cherry, as its name implies is a Cherry Cola flavor of Coca-Cola. It's similar to some cherry cola flavors, which has a similar shade of cherry cola flavor, Pepsi Wild Cherry and RC Cherry. Its color has a brown look.
History[]
The history of adding additional cherry flavoring to Coca-Cola, at least in the United States, dates back at least to the 1940s when local soda fountain workers (soda jerks) would upon request add a "shot" (roughly a couple of tablespoons) of cherry syrup to a (from 12 to 16-ounce) Coca-Cola fountain soda. This remained common practice in ice cream shops where cherry syrup and Coca-Cola were both common items for decades.
The Coca-Cola Company first began testing its official Cherry flavored variation of Coca-Cola alongside other flavors such as Coca-Cola Vanilla to audiences that visited the 1982 World's Fair in Knoxville, Tennessee.
3 years later, Coca-Cola Cherry was first introduced in stores in the United States in the Summer of 1985 as a permanent flavor around the same time as the controversial reformulation of Coca-Cola, (New Coke), and gained significant market share when that product was widely discontinued after three months of its introduction.
Starting in 1986, a diet variant called Diet Cherry Coke was released in stores in the United States as it was coexisting with the regular Coca-Cola Cherry variant. It had been renamed into "Diet Coke Cherry" in 2005 and again to "Diet Coke Feisty Cherry" in 2018. A second low-calorie version, Coca-Cola Cherry Zero (based on Coca-Cola Zero), got released in 2007.
In 2007, Cherry Coke had been renamed into "Coca-Cola Cherry" in the United States and some other countries, was the third variation of Coca-Cola at that time – the others being regular Coca-Cola and Diet Coke – and the first flavored Coke.
The Coca-Cola Company would later introduce other flavored Coca-Cola flavors, beginning with Coca-Cola Vanilla in May 2002, later followed by Coca-Cola Lime, Coca-Cola Raspberry, Coca-Cola Lemon, Coca-Cola Black Cherry Vanilla, Coca-Cola Orange and some other more flavors. Many of these flavors are currently only sold in international countries and/or are micro dispensed through Coca-Cola's Freestyle vending machines.
