1:55 the most patriotic nothing-burger of an answer

1985 today new Coke destroyed the world. I’m lucky I didn’t born in that year. I can’t understand the history of American despise the new taste of Coke bring a disaster no only for the culture but for the taste for their own children safety. and for July 1985 to go back to original formula, it could be called Coca-Cola classic.

A coarse Pepsi always going to win in a taste test . That's because Pepsi is way better than Coke. Take that back when you call Pepsi a pipsqueak. Know this Pepsi is way better than Coke.

What language are the subtitles in?

I tried Coke II when I found it in Skokie Illinois in 1998. The taste was nothing to write home about. It was basically Diet Coke with high fructose corn syrup. This is why I only drink club soda, water, kefir, and milk.

I wanna try new coke

My mom tried New Coke and said it tasted flat and tainted, like licking something rusty. She said it tasted nothing like Pepsi. And at that time I was a major Pepsi drinker. I did drink Coke Classic, which I believe had the high fructose corn syrup, which I actually liked. But nothing beats the original Coke, as Coke and Diet Coke was my choice in my adulthood.

I LOVE these young whipper snappers that advertise the new coke and ay the NEW cokes...taste like coke from 1886. Really, they were alive then? Really...I just have to laugh.

Coke is better.

So really, all of this was about saving money 💰

looks like coke life will become new coke

Yes, Pepsi is way better.

The funny thing is that it was healthier as "New Coke" because it used real cane sugar. By the 80s, people hadn't noticed that they slipped HFCS into Coca Cola since about the mid-to-late 60s and they wanted Classic Coke which was actually the REAL "New Coke"!

People always ask me what I drink, Coke or Pepsi? My answer: CHERRY COKE!

old coke was beautiful i remember it as a kid.I also loved cream soda in a glass bottle.

In the 21st Century, there will huge backlash, informed by the original New Coke debacle but energized by the new industry wave of "energy drinks," as well as the Hispanic demographic, wherein Coke Conservatives move to the far right, demanding not merely Classic Coke but Classic Classic Coke with cocaine reintroduced as a main ingredient. Some will say that the movement is being funded by latin drug lords, while white Coke Conservatives will argue it is a purely American in spirit.

Maybe this is off-subject, but I think 'they' should bring back the old Dr. Pepper taste. One 'old Dr. Pepper' is better than '23 new Dr. Peppers'.

Whether it was a planned PR stunt, or a marketing decision that went bad, I really don't know. But I can tell you this: it sure worked. Just when Pepsi thought they were going to win one over Coke, Coke announces that they're changing the original formula and the public went crazy. They get their beloved Coke back, and that was it.

They messed with perfection clearly they had never heard of the saying "If it ain't broke don't fix it".

I can't be the first person to suggest that the whole thing was a planned marketing campaign. Instead of introducing a secondary version of coke, discontinue the old coke so it's a big deal, everyone tries the new coke. Then, by taking the original away, the media and consumers do your advertising FOR you and convince themselves that the original is even a greater thing than they ever imagined. Everyone is talking about Coke. Then give it back to them, call it classic. New media frenzy. It's pretty brilliant.

One of the dumbest idea ever.

Pepsi tastes better than Coke, pepsi Wild Cherry tastes better than cherry Coke, Pepsi max tastes better than Coke Zero, and Aquafina tastes better than Dasani. Not to mention Lipton over Nestea, Gatorade over Powerade.

Ironic isn't it? They didn't want to make a companion derivative so they reformulated it. Public outcry forces them to bring it back the original as Classic but New stays on. In 1992, New was renamed Coke II and remained until 2002. It obviously sold enough to warrant making it for 17 years! This may have just been a stunt to not only swap HFCS into the mix but boost sales knowing everyone would bitch and demand it back.

Pepsi and Coke are literally the worse drink you can consume. You'd be better off drinking flavoured still water.

Here in Canada, when the name classic was taken off Coke... the formula changed. Stop messing with Coke-Cola

Fact: New Coke was delicious. I drank it all the time when it came out. Fact: I preferred it over original Coke. Fact: Walmart sells MexiCoke which is tasty & delicious because of the glass bottling.

To me it seems like New Coke was rather an actual failure, than a smart marketing technique. By fucking up the coke and supplying the fans a piece of shit, they made their customers realize how bad the loved coke.

It flopped because they used artificial vanilla. regular Coke has real vanilla. that odd taste was the artificial vanilla. If they would have used real vanilla it would have been a success

Why is Diet Coke called 'Diet Coke' and not 'Diet Coca Cola'? I'm from the UK and was born 1990 and I saw red cans of 'Coke' as a kid so thought the 'New Coke' thing was in the 90s.

coke zero is my favorite since my store doesn't carry pepsi max bottles any more

fail

If the new taste of Coca-Cola would have succeeded, Pepsi would have done the same in 1997 before switching to current blue packaging.

I think it is an act, they tested the product than made a character.

Can anybody think of a dumber Idea then New Coke?

Pepsi is better.

They have throwback pepsi why don't they have throwback coke!?! ::wink WINK::

I admit I was a child but I can't remember any point back then when Coke suddenly tasted differently. ::shrugs::

What kind of moron protest the change of taste of a global company product.

It makes me laugh that in the 80's, people would actually protest a new kind of Coke. I wonder if this would happen today... (Pepsi is better, anyways.)

New Cole was awesome and won blind tests.

As a baby, i can't remember if i drank new coke...the most famous soda failure i remember drinking was crystal pepsi, c2, surge, and pepsi blue. The most succesful soda lunch so far is Coke Zero, which competes against Pepsi Max. Coke Zero is better. Much better than caffiene free coke zero.

Did New Coke actually have more syrup in it than the old one, or did it just *taste* sweeter?

Coke Zero tastest like shit. Nobody would prefer it over original Coke.

Pepsi sucks

Me too, but I would imagine it would taste like an offbrand would taste today.

Vomit, I always hated that soda lol. I always switch between coke and pepsi, both diet of course.

I'd love to taste it lol
