About
[edit]Caffeine Free Diet Coke
[edit]The diet variant, Caffeine-Free Diet Coke, was the first variant of Diet Coke and was introduced in 1983.
Internationally, the drink is currently available in Canada, Spain, and the United Kingdom. It has been previously sold in Australia, Benelux territories, Belgium, Cyprus, France, Germany, Israel, Japan, Luxemburg, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Portugal.
Caffeine Free Coca-Cola
[edit]Caffeine Free Coca-Cola was introduced in the United States in 1984, upon the success of its diet counterpart. In April 1985, Caffeine-Free Coca-Cola was switched to the unpopular New Coke formula and did not switch back to the classic formula until 1989.
Since 2020, Caffeine-Free Coca-Cola has been difficult to find in stores, both in cans and 2-liter bottles. The explanation given by various non-official sources is that due to a shortage of aluminum cans due to COVID-19 related issues, less popular products are in short supply.[1] However, there is no current shortage of aluminum cans.[2]
The drink has also been sold internationally and is currently sold in France (1986–present), Italy (1997–present), Portugal (1983–present), and Spain (1983-present). It was previously sold in Canada (1980's), Belgium (1984-2000's), the Netherlands (1984–1985), Germany (1985-2000's), Austria (1986–1990), United Kingdom (1991–1994), the United Arab Emirates (circa 2002), and Jordan (circa 2004).
