Fans’ favorite diet cola flavor is back in limited time.
Retro Diet Cherry Coke will be available for purchase with a limited period that will begin later this summer, a Coca-Cola spokesman confirmed to USA Today.

Fans of the flavor were quickly sharing their excitement over social media news. One user said “I’ll buy it in the case.” Another user rang: “Let them cook.”
Here are some things you need to know about the return of the line, how to get it.

What happened to diet cherry coke? The history of flavor
According to Coca-Cola, the Diet Cherry Coke was first sold in 1986. The flavor was built on the success of the regular cherry coke released in 1985.
In 2018, Coca-Cola announced the launch of four new diet cola flavors, including the Diet Coke Feisty Cherry.
With the release of Diet Coke Fist Cherry, Coca-Cola has announced that Diet Cherry Coke will be taken from retailers, but can still be purchased on Amazon. Eventually it stopped being distributed online.
Two years later, in 2020, the company abolished diet cola Feisty Cherry, marking the end of the taste of recently available cherry-infused diet cola, according to the New York Times.
