The year 2020 continues to prove itself as one of major changes. Coca-Cola has announced it will discontinue its first sugar-free cooldrink, TaB, in SA along with other “underperforming” products globally.
TaB will be available on the shelves until December 31.
The cooldrink was launched in 1963 and became a favourite among weight-conscious consumers.
Cath Coetzer, global head of innovation and marketing operations, said the move is about “following the consumer” and growth.
