Is this a regional thing? I haven't noticed it in Tokyo. Going to give the local conbini a look.

You wouldn't have had cause to notice it Capt'n! It ain't got no alcohol in it!

At first I thought DEPRESSO(tm) was someone's lettering project and having fun with an Exacto knife. It turns out the product's full name is "Deep Presso" which CocaCola/Georgia crammed together into DEEPPRESSO. CocaCola Japan sells other "Presso" such as "Bitter Presso PREMIUM Mocha."
To see the Depresso TV commercial, select "CM" on the right and then select the first commercial in the "conference room".

It took a few years. But it looks like Coca Cola's mental health professionals have finally convinced the company to turn their product development and marketing strategy around.

(sadly, Deeppresso is no longer part of their coffee line-up)
