After 35 years, Diet Coke is relaunching in North America. Packaged in sleek and modern 12-oz. cans, new flavors include: Diet Coke Ginger Lime, Diet Coke Feisty Cherry, Diet Coke Twisted Mango and Diet Coke Zesty Blood Orange. The new packaging and flavors will hit store shelves beginning in mid-January. The original Diet Coke is not being reformulated.

Market research was conducted with more than 10,000 people and spent years exploring combinations like tropical, citrus and even botanical notes.
