Coke just released the latest limited-edition flavor in its "Creations" series. This one is called Coca-Cola Y3000, and it's supposed to taste like "THE FUTURE."
And this is appropriate: The recipe was created by A.I.
They haven't revealed what's in it, or described the taste. They say the flavor profile is, "85-to-90% Coke, [with] a 10-to-15% twist of something unexpected."
Y3000 should cost the same as regular Coke. It comes in zero- and full-sugar varieties . . . and it will be available for a limited time starting now.

(If you've played around with A.I. at all, you know that "something unexpected" could be ANYTHING when it comes to A.I. If anyone can find this . . . and is bold enough to try it . . . let us know what you think.)
