Coffee is finally launching Monday in the United States after being available for years internationally.
The product is made with Brazilian coffee and comes in dark blend, vanilla and caramel flavors. There's also a calorie-free zero sugar version. Each 12-ounce can has 69 milligrams of caffeine. That's about half as much as is in a 12-ounce cup of coffee but far more than what's in a can of Coke. The new product comes at a time when Coca-Cola (KO) is focusing on its core products, including Coke and Coke Zero Sugar. Last year, the company announced plans to cut its portfolio in half and has discontinued brands like Tab and Odwalla to focus on its most powerful ones. Coca-Cola first announced the January launch of Coke with Coffee over the summer. But it's been experimenting with a Coke and coffee blend for years. In 2006, the company launched Coca-Cola Blak, a coffee-flavored version of its signature product, in the United States. The beverage was a notorious flop, and Coke stopped selling it just two years after it launched.

Personally I like hot earl grey tea in the morning an iced peach tea through out the day..
Man, I thought Tab was discontinued around 1990. Guess I’ve been missing out on the taste of licking car keys all these years.
I was buying TAB at our local grocery store until about a year ago. Haven’t seen it in a while.
I might try it, if I could make it at home.
LOL!!!
Well yer a girl, so...
Do they still have Fresca? its OK in a pinch if there is no Squirt...
It was discontinued relatively recently IIRC.
Ah, TAB. Its 1968 again.
The first sentence of the article begins,
“Coke with Coffee is finally launching Monday ... “
RC Cola.....better than coke IMO.
I prefer Covfefe...................
Coke with coffee, coke with coffee,
Go together like salmon and toffee...
I like a cold Coke on ice occasionally, and I bet this flavor profile with coffee is pretty good, but I refuse to drink Coke Zero or any of that goofy stuff.
Worried about weight? don’t drink 5 ga of soda a day between big macs.
Coke Blak was out in 2006 already discontinued. $5.00 per can and tasted like dirt.
That would be great with coffee. :)

Bummer. I liked TAB — a lot.
In the ‘80s my girlfriend had to go to the “big city” (Seattle) on business. Being a sophisticated woman — or so she thought — she dropped in to the hotel’s bar acting all cool. A guy came and sat beside her and asked her if she wanted any coke. “Oh, no. I prefer TAB.” When he saw her face and knew she was serious he shook his head and walked away. Obviously, she wasn’t buying any drugs that night.
Moxie tastes like root beer mixed with mud, and they still sell that, though they don’t sell much...
