Epcot: New Flavors Coming to Club Cool Tomorrow
Beginning October 30, Guests can savor new Coca-Cola flavors from around the world at Club Cool at Epcot:
- Fanta Pineapple - With more than 90 distinct flavors available in more than 180 countries, Fanta made its European debut in the 1940s and was introduced to the USA in 1960. Fanta Pineapple is caffeine-free and features a sweet pineapple taste.
- Originally launched in Japan in 1992, VegitaBeta is a non-carbonated beverage with apricot and passion fruit flavors and is rich in beta-carotene that contributes to its unique yellowish-orange color.
- Fanta (Melon Frosty) is the number one soft drink of Thailand. With a fun melon flavor, this carbonated beverage is beloved in Thailand's sunny, tropical climate.
- Originally created in 1998, Bibo is a fruit flavored line of juice drinks popular in South Africa. The brand features fun characters such as Johnny Orange, Taka Strawberry and Paolo Peach.
- A raspberry flavored cream soda, Sparberry launched in Africa in 1955. It is exclusively available in several countries in southeast Africa.
- Guarana Kuat is a guarana berry flavored soft drink first launched in Brazil in 1997. The word guarana comes from the Guaranà word guara-ná, which translates to "fruit like the eyes of the people."
- Known as "The Taste of Peru," Inca Kola has an unusually sweet fruity flavor that many compare to the taste of liquid bubblegum. The name refers to the Quechua words for king and queen.
- Beverly, with its bitter flavor, is a popular non-alcoholic apéritif that is a traditional part of Italian refreshment culture (that's actually not true. Beverly is actually not widely known in Italy).
These flavors are only available in the U.S. at Epcot and World of Coca-Cola attractions in Atlanta and Las Vegas. We are definitely going to try all the beverages (both new and classic), but you can be sure that we will skip one...
On a visit earlier this month to Epcot we stopped by the Cool Club - we were sampling and chatting with others and of course the discussion of Beverly and a man who must have season passes said that he had really gotten to enjoying that flavor - now it had been a while since I had sampled it and decided that really a trip thru the flavors with out tasting it again - this was not the same Beverly that my taste buds freaked out to years ago - I think that at some point someone has doctored up this recipe - it still was not something that I would want to drink with my meal or for refreshment but it was not the choke and gag and try not to spit reactionary drink I had tried in the past - it was part of the fun to stand and wait til someone tried it - my young son once at EPCOT or Atlanta who was a veteran of these machines replied once when a group of ladies were trying to get their friend to sample it and so she turned to my son and asked him if she should try it because she said he was a sweet kid and wouldn't lie to her - he told her yes she should and then when she did and reacted he added - everyone should try it at least once - lol --- I hate that we missed these new flavors - I have tried most of the old ones before and these sound very tempting. Guess we will have to make a trip to Atlanta - the use to have so many flavors when they first opened. I think EPCOT is a great place to share these - but think far too many guests aren't aware that it is there.
