Is Sprite Watermelon Blueberry Real or Fake?

By Samantha Jun9,2024

The picture of the Sprite Watermelon Blueberry is fake, not real! Don’t let the picture making rounds online trick you. It’s an AI generated image, not a real new Sprite flavor from Coca-Cola. The picture was first posted on Facebook by MoMo Nichol and has been shared more than 32,000 times since then.

Why It’s Fake

A close look at the image show a lot of inconsistencies peculiar with AI generated images.

First of all, a close look at the words written on the can’s body shows the word ‘blueberry’ was mispelt as ‘bluebberry’ (double B). This mistake is pretty obvious and can’t be neglected by a reputable brand like Coca-Cola.

Secondly, Coca-Cola wouldn’t use a background picture that shows there’s sugar in the drink. The pink sugar is a thumbs down as it might trigger trolls from anti-soda groups.

Thirdly, the image wasn’t posted (and hasn’t been posted) on Sprite’s social media pages, neither has the brand said anything about a new flavor.

The Real Truth About The Sprite Watermelon Blueberry

The Sprite Watermelon Blueberry is a fake news that started after a Facebook user posted an image generated with AI. She created the image due to her love for watermelon blueberry drink. The post went viral and has been shared on different social media platforms; Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tiktok, e.t.c

While a lot of people are excited about the idea, Coca-Cola hasn’t announced any new Sprite flavor.
