I love Coca-Cola. I love coffee. I did not at all expect to like Coca-Cola with Coffee.
But what seems like a misguided marketing gimmick from the biggest soda company in the world is actually . shockingly delicious.
The new java-flavored Coca-Cola made with Brazilian coffee buzzed its way onto shelves Monday, and was met with the requisite skepticism on social media (and from yours truly). A major soda flop a la New Coke or Crystal Pepsi seemed on the horizon.
The Spotsylvania Board of Supervisors approved more than $1.5 million to address COVID-19 needs for county schools this week, but rejected two other requests totaling nearly $865,000 after debating a change in its bylaws that threatened to block a vote on allocating the money.
The board juggled public safety bonuses and COVID-19 funding for schools and county staff during its meeting Tuesday. It tabled until its next meeting a proposal to provide bonuses for public safety workers who did not receive an earlier bonus mandated and funded by the state.
The board, however, approved over $1.5 million in COVID-19-related funding to purchase technology equipmentâsuch as computers and camerasâto help county government staff adjust to working in the pandemic. Staff reduced the initial funding request by about $350,000, leaving that amount to go into the general fund.
