The new PERMANENT flavour will hit retail shelves starting February 19th

Coca Cola started the year with a banger with their new PERMANENT flavours Coca-Cola Spiced and Coca-Cola Spiced Zero (don’t worry it’s not actually spicy 🌶️).

The new flavour that is launching is a new permanent addition to the line-up, which is a big deal, not just because it is an interesting flavour but also the drink company hasn’t added a permanent flavour in more than three years. So, what does it actually taste like? Well, Coca-Cola describes it as having a “burst of refreshing raspberry flavours and spiced notes “in combination with the carbonated drinks iconic taste.

The new drink will hit national shelves starting Feb.19 and will come in the form of a can, mini can, and bottle formats.

Coca-Cola claims that the new spiced flavour is their “boldest tasting brand innovation yet”. The company attributed the introduction of its new product launch to a growing shift in beverage trends toward offerings that feature flavours like raspberry and spicy overtones.

Infrastructure Malta has announced plans to develop the Swieqi – St. Julian’s Junction, a major investment aimed at transforming the current traffic light junction into a grade-separated junction. 

This marks the first major Infrastructure Malta project of newly appointed Transport Minister Chris Bonett. 

This initiative seeks to enhance traffic flow in the area and address long-standing accessibility issues between Swieqi and St. Julian’s. The project, part of ongoing improvements to the TEN-T arterial road network, aims to improve safety and encourage active mobility.

The upgrade plans were detailed during a technical media briefing, focusing on Triq Mikiel Anton Vassalli and surrounding areas. Key improvements include better traffic flow management, new footpaths, and an enhanced pedestrian link replacing the current vehicle underpass. 

Traffic modifications involve the creation of new slip roads and improved exit routes to Swieqi and St. Julian’s.

Consultations with stakeholders, including local councils, have informed preliminary plans submitted to the Planning Authority. Further adjustments are expected as discussions progress. This project underscores Infrastructure Malta’s commitment to enhancing infrastructure and mobility in Swieqi and St. Julian’s communities.
