About Cherry coke
Cherry Coke is a flavored soda beverage combining the classic taste of Coca-Cola with an added cherry essence. It originates from the United States and has been popularized as a sweet, refreshing drink often paired with fast food or enjoyed as a treat. Its nutritional profile predominantly includes carbohydrates from added sugars, with negligible amounts of protein, fat, vitamins, or minerals. A standard 12-ounce serving contains approximately 140 calories and 39 grams of added sugars, equating to about 78% of the daily recommended limit based on a 2,000-calorie diet. Cherry Coke offers no significant nutritional value but is enjoyed widely for its flavor.
