Coca-Cola Tests Prebiotic Versions of Iconic Sodas
What happened
Coca-Cola is testing prebiotic versions of three of its most popular sodas: Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, Sprite Zero Sugar, and Fresca. This move positions the company to compete in the 'better-for-you' market, where Simply Pop is currently its only prebiotic offering. The company is making this move despite PepsiCo already having a presence in the prebiotic soda market.
