可口可乐推新产品 可口可乐生命
Coca-Cola has launched its first major new Cola in nearly a decade: Coke Life. It comes in a green can, with a small leaf logo, and promises to be much healthier than standard Coke. 可口可乐公司推出近十年来第一种主要新型产品:可口可乐生命。
它包装在绿色的罐子里, 上 有小树叶标志。
公司承诺,它比标准的可乐更健康。
A 330ml can has 89 calories - a third less than the 129 found in stan dard C oke. That is because, alongside sugar, it is also uses stevia(甜叶菊) leaf extract from the stevia plant. This naturally very sweet plant contains zero calories. The com pany hopes that many consumers will not be able to tell the difference between "green Coke" and normal Coke. James Quincey at Coca-Cola Europe says: "With Coca-Cola Life, we have innovated 2 to provide consumers with a new option with fewer calories. It complements our existing brands and is well-positioned to meet changing lifestyle trends, providing people with a great-tasting, lower calorie cola sweetened from natural sources." The c ompany appears to brush over the fact that the sugar used in standard C oke 3 4 5 in the UK is derived from either cane s ugar or sugar beet -- both natural sources, grown in fields. Also, Coke Life despite being lower calories still contains 22g of sugar -- a quarter of an adult's recommended daily allowance.
