Vio is a beverage produced by The Coca-Cola Company consisting of milk with flavored carbonated water. The flavors are Citrus Burst, Peach Mango, Very Berry, and Tropical Colada.[1]
The drink was tested on the American market in 2009 but failed to find broad appeal although as of 2010 it was still produced in limited quantities.[2] In 2016, Coca-Cola India launched a non-carbonated flavored milk product also named Vio.[3] The Coca-Cola Company sells a similar product in Japan called Qoo.[4]
Time magazine included Vio in its 50 Worst Inventions list published in 2010 and in its Top 10 Bad Beverage Ideas list.[2][5]
Relaunch[edit]
In 2020, The Coca-Cola Company has launched regional beverage Spiced Buttermilk under its VIO brand in India.[6][7][8]
