Coca-Cola's Banana Milk Drink is Creamy Yet Clear

There are many rich and creamy banana milk drinks that have been launched over the years to appeal to consumers to love the taste of fruit-flavored beverages but Coca-Cola is introducing a novel variety for those who want to experience something a little different. The Coca-Cola Company's new 'Banana Milk' boasts a formula and packaging that looks nearly identical to bottled water, yet the product is said to have a creamy consistency and taste "solidly" just like banana.

Clear beverages are currently extremely popular across Japan, with many clear drinks being introduced with unique infusions and inspirations—some of the other examples include completely clear coffee and beer-like beverages that feature as little color as possible.
