Coffee soda is returning?

I doubt many of you remember Pespi Kona soda, but it was a coffee flavored cola that was test marketed in the Philadelphia region in the mid 1990’s. I though it was great, buta pparently I was alone because it never went into full production. (Learn more in this Honolulu Star Bulletin article from back in the day or from Wikipedia.)

Now, a new coffee flavored soda is coming out. Next year Coca-Cola will introduce Coke Blak. Read more here. I hope it’s nearly as good. (Even though I’m a Pepsi person.) We’ll see if they come out with a diet version.
