Freeze-Dried Drink Cubes

1,2, Cubes Dissolve in Water for an Instant Beverage from Anywhere

The 1,2, Cubes have been released by Coca-Cola Japan as an instant drink solution for those looking to increase their energy or simply enjoy a quick break with a refreshment. The cubes come in three options including iced coffee, green tea and barley tea, which are each made with freeze-dried ingredients that are formed into cubes and come ready to drop into a glass of water. The cubes come in packs of 15 and, thanks to their minimal packaging and formulation, are also positioned as a more eco-friendly alternative to other options on the market.

The 1,2, Cubes are available for purchase only in Japan where they can be purchased at a price point of ¥648 JPY.
