SHOPPERS have been left divided by the return of an axed Coca-Cola drink four years after it was taken off shelves.
The soft drink company decided to reward customers with a festive treat that has not been seen since 2020.
Coca-Cola Cinnamon was first launched in 2019 as a “limited-time offer” for the Christmas period.
It returned the following year but was then absent for several years.
However, this Christmas, Coca-Cola has brought it back for a limited time only.
But, shoppers have been left unimpressed by the move, with many having never tried the unusual flavour before.
“I can’t think of anything worse,” one wrote in the comments to a post in a Facebook group dedicated to coupons and store bargains.
“That’s just wrong!!!! So very wrong!!!!,” another said.
“A no from me,” a third added while others asked if the people at Coca-Cola were okay.
Not everyone is upset though, with some having waited for its return for years as others noted the one positive to come out of the negative reactions from other shoppers.
“Been waiting for this to come back out,” one happy shopper wrote in the same Facebook group.
“To all the angry faces and vomity faces and all the ‘nope’ type comments…GOOD! All the more for me then,” another said.
Others are willing to give the limited-edition flavour a go saying it’s “gotta be a winner” if you like cinnamon and coke.
“It’s not a strong cinnamon taste, it’s subtle and delicious,” one said.
Others compared it to a non-alcoholic fireball shot while one suggested adding amaretto to the cinnamon Coca-Cola.
The zero sugar, two-litre bottle is exclusively available at Tesco for £1.85 or just £1.25 for Clubcard holders.
However, it will only be available until the end of the year, so those who love the unusual cinnamon drink will have to stock up as it may not return for a number of years.
Other Zero flavours on offer include Zero Lemon and Zero Cherry as well as the regular Zero and Caffiene-Free version.
A popular cookie has also been used to inspire a new limited-edition Coca-Cola flavour available at Home Bargains for a ridiculously cheap price.
For just 75p, shoppers can buy a 250ml can of the Oreo Coca-Cola Zero.
It is said to combine the classic Coca-Cola taste with “flavourful hints” inspired by Oreos.
As well as Home Bargains, the beverage will also be found at a number of restaurant chains including Pizza Express and Popeyes.
Coke isn’t the only brand to bring out new flavours recently either.
Pepsi MAX Mango hit shelves last year and proved a hit with fans.
The beverage was described by manufacturers as “the brand’s best ever” new summer flavour.
Shoppers have also been racing to get their hands on a “banging” new Sprite flavour released in time for summer.
A RANGE of classic products are being revived this Christmas after previously being axed.
Aldi’s Chocolate Mountain Bar
ALDI shoppers have been left overjoyed after the supermarket’s iconic Toblerone dupe returned to shelves.
Fans of the bargain retailer have been pleading for the Specially Selected Swiss chocolate bar to make a comeback, with Aldi finally giving in.
The blonde bar is seen as a family favourite with happy customers describing it as “lush” as they race into stores to grab one.
Each 100g pack cost is now priced at £1.69.
Each bar is packed with delicious ingredients from white chocolate, honey, almond, nougat and salted caramel pieces.
Mars’ Marathon Bars
Mars announced it was bringing back the iconic Marathon chocolate bar after it was rebranded 34 years ago.
The bar was re-titled as Snickers in 1990 and lost its iconic name but will return to supermarket shelves for a limited time this year.
The limited-edition wrappers will be available exclusively at Morrisons until December, which means you’ll only have a few months to enjoy the blast from the past.
Starbucks’ Toffee Nut Latte
Starbucks fans are going wild as a £1.50 buy has landed back in stores – and if you’re a lover of the coffee chain’s Christmas drinks, then prepare to be overjoyed.
One savvy shopper was left beaming when browsing in her local Sainsbury’s, when she noticed that toffee nut latte sachets were now available to buy.
So if you’re obsessed with the Starbucks Christmas beverage, which normally hits stores at the start of November and is available until the end of the year, and want to be able to have it all year round, you’ll need to head to Sainsbury’s and stock up.
Cadbury’s Dairy Milk Winter Mint Crisp
The confectionery giant has brought back its Dairy Milk Mint Crisp bar for shoppers to enjoy as the nights draw in.
It forms part of the sweet makers’ new Christmas range which also includes a retro selection box.
Cadbury‘s confirmed earlier this year that the minty treat had been axed from shelves and it had “no plans to reintroduce it”.
It came after nostalgic shoppers made calls for Cadbury‘s to bring back the retro snack.
Its Winter Mint Crisp bar has already landed on shelves, with Tesco charging £4.50 for a 360g bar.
You can get it for just £4 if you have a Tesco Clubcard.
It is also on offer at supermarket Asda for £4.
