Coca-Cola is going to release a brand-new flavor, so hold on to your taste buds! On February 10, 'Orange Cream' will be available for purchase in the United States and Canada. You read correctly: Coca-Cola is making a zesty comeback, and it will be available in both regular and sugar-free varieties.

Only a year after the brief Coca-Cola Spiced flavor faded into obscurity, Coke is making waves with yet another daring addition to the family. Who's up for a little fruity nostalgia?

Since Coca-Cola has recently introduced flavors like strawberry and Oreo, they decided it was time to add an orange twist to break up the monotony. The brand finally disclosed its decision to go with Orange Cream in a press release, most likely because "Coca-Cola, but with a hint of sunshine" seemed too wonderful to be true.

Furthermore, on a hot day, who wouldn't want to drink a creamsicle-flavored soda? Without the awkward small conversation, it's essentially a party in a can. As soon as the news broke out, netizens turned this into a memefest.

A user (@Chris_Texas1) on X (formerly Twitter) commented:

"Great just what Americans need more diabetes"

And really, who can resist flavors like these? Coke seems to be attempting to ensure that we never have to endure a dull moment—just a sugar rush and a full stomach. When you can enjoy an entire vacation in a can, who needs moderation?

Additionally, the sugar-free version allows you to indulge in pure fantasy without feeling bad, unlike when you indulged in that second piece of pizza that you vowed never to eat. "Why choose between dessert and a drink when you can have both?" is essentially what Coca-Cola is saying.

Sue Lynne Cha, vice president of Marketing at Coca-Cola North America, said,

"Coca-Cola Orange Cream intends to reconnect consumers with a beloved flavor tradition while pushing the boundaries of taste. By blending our iconic Coca-Cola formula with refreshing orange and smooth creamy vanilla flavors, we are introducing an all-new beverage that reimagines the classic Coca-Cola experience."

Netizens went crazy when the news leaked as if they had just found the spring of youth, only it was loaded with candy and orange cream. Before you could say "caffeine boost," memes began to appear, with people arguing over whether this new flavor was a sugar-filled nightmare or a tropical dream.

In any case, it's evident that the internet has a lot to say and that people aren't holding back when it comes to their admiration for—or worries about—Coca-Cola's most recent invention. Let's look through how netizens have reacted regarding this news!

"Sorry, I won't try it. I don't need cream flavor"

Yet another user (@Yibbitt99) wrote:

The internet appears to have collectively hit the "wait, what?" button in response to this revelation. Some are already planning their next doctor appointments, while others are treating it as the next big food revolution. In contrast, one group is eagerly awaiting the release and is probably imagining themselves sipping a can of sunshine as their taste receptors rejoice. It's a good mix of the typical "too good to be true" scenario and "I'll try it, but maybe not all in one sitting."
