‘They’re back!’ Diet Coke lovers scream about return of limited edition cans in Asda… but you’ll have to be quick
IT’S officially pink Diet Coke season.
The iconic fizzy drink cans turned pink for the first time ever in October last year.
And now, they’re a rosy shade once more to mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Shoppers have been stopped in their tracks whilst shopping in Asda stores over the weekend after finding the vibrant multipacks.
The supermarket has re-released pink Diet Coke for its Tickled Pink campaign for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Women across the UK have taken to TikTok to share their excitement at the return.
Millie Grims shared a video of her nabbing a box and belting it up in her car.
The 20-year-old from Manchester wrote: “Oh my god, girls, run to Asda.
“Obsessed – and for such an amazing cause.”
The multipack of 30 will set you back £10, which works out at roughly 33p a can.
Millie’s viral video had a sea of comments of fellow Brits dubbing the limited edition packaging as “so cute” and crying that they “needed some”.
“They’re just so aesthetic… it would be rude not to,” one penned.
“Running to Asda right now,” another beamed.
It’s the same classic Diet Coke (with the same flavour and colourings), so you don’t need to worry about navigating a new taste.
Asda Tickled Pink has been running for 28 years and has raised a phenomenal £92 million for breast cancer charities, Breast Cancer Now and CoppaFeel!
Other items that have turned pink to mark the month are Heinz Baked Beans, Marmite, Candy Kittens, Walkers Crisps and Hellmann’s Mayonnaise.
