CCEP expands light flavours portfolio with new Diet Coke Sublime Lime

Coca-Cola European Partners (CCEP) has announced the launch of Diet Coke Sublime Lime, expanding its popular light flavours portfolio.

Rolling out nationwide from Mid-February onwards, the new variant aims to tap into growing consumer demand for lime-flavoured drinks.


The variant will be available in 330ml and 500ml plain and price-marked packs for on-the-go occasions as well as multipacks and 1.25l and 2l bottles.

The launch will be supported by a multi-million pound marketing campaign that will raise awareness of Diet Coke Sublime Lime and Diet Coke Twisted Strawberry, the two flavoured variants from the brand.

Launched last year, Diet Coke Twisted Strawberry is already worth £8 million.

The campaign will span out-of-home advertising, digital and TV, as well as mass sampling and in-store promotions.

Simon Harrison, vice president, commercial development at CCEP GB, said: “Diet Coke is the biggest light cola brand in GB and our flavoured cola innovations helped to drive 57% of on-the-go cola NPD value growth last year. Our flavoured colas are now worth more than £102m, making 2020 the perfect time to innovate and offer our consumers a brand-new experience.

“Combining the popularity of Diet Coke and growing demand for both flavoured and low sugar carbonates, Diet Coke Sublime Lime presents a fantastic opportunity for retailers to maximise their soft drinks sales.”

Gnaw ‘new-stalgia’: pud-themed Chocolate Spoons and flavoured choc bars

Tapping into “new-stalgia” (an anticipated hot food trend in 2025), Gnaw has been working tirelessly to rethink Great British puddings by creating a number of “Hug in a Mug” classics (Crème Brulée, Bakewell Tart, Sticky Toffee Pud) in conjunction with an impressive “pudfolio” of dessert-flavoured bars: New York Cheesecake, Christmas Pudding, Banoffee Pie and Sticky Toffee Pudding.

Desserts may prove divisive. For many the last course will always be a fitting finale to a great meal spent with friends of family, enticing comfort food that offers a nostalgic peek into happy custard drenched, ice cream topped memories from yesteryear. For others, desserts are an unwitting dalliance with guilt-filled soft sponges, buttery pastry, seductively sweet fillings, crumbly toppings, sticky sauces …
