The Coca-Cola Co. claims it has not discontinued Fresca, despite the fact that since the COVID-19 outbreak, an enquiring Chicago journalist has not been able to find it.

A Coke spokesperson told him in June that the company was doing its best to stock Fresca as soon as possible and that it would be available soon, Steinberg noted in a column.
