Coca-Cola, the iconic soft drink company, has introduced its newest limited edition carbonated beverage, Y3000.
In an innovative move, the company used neural networks for both the development of the drink’s formula and the design of its packaging.
Touted as the “first futuristic flavor,” Y3000 emerged from a groundbreaking partnership between human experts and artificial intelligence.
To devise Y3000’s flavor profile, Coca-Cola’s research team compiled consumer taste preference data. This information was then processed by an artificial intelligence system.
While specific flavor details of the new drink remain undisclosed, Coca-Cola has revealed that Y3000 will come in two variants: one sweetened with sugar and the other sugar-free.
The cutting-edge packaging design enhances the drink’s futuristic appeal. Its visual design features dynamic shapes and colors that represent the fluid’s transformation and evolution.
Employing a palette of light purple, magenta, and cyan against a silver backdrop, the packaging projects a forward-looking vibe.
Both the beverage and its packaging embody the thrilling potential at the convergence of technology and human creativity.
Coca-Cola from the future
Oana Vlad, Coca-Cola’s Senior Director of Global Strategy, has shared insights into this pioneering project, highlighting the transformative impact of neural networks on the beverage sector.
“Our goal is for Coca-Cola to remain a refreshing staple all the way to the year 3000. We wanted to explore the taste of a future Coca-Cola and the novel experiences it might provide,” the experienced executive remarked.
Adding to the futuristic experience, the Y3000 packaging includes a QR code. Scanning this code provides access to the Creations Hub, an app that leverages neural networks to produce images as if captured in the year 3000.
Coca-Cola Y3000 will be available in limited quantities across selected markets, including the United States, Canada, China, and select European and African countries. This launch represents a fascinating fusion of technological innovation and consumer interaction, offering a preview into the possible future of the beverage industry.
