A relic of the short "New Coke" era, one that ranks right up there with the Edsel and the RCA Videodisc in terms of collossal failures. The people at competing Pepsi took great delight in this as you can see in this commercial where some old guys switch to Pepsi since they can't get the old Coke anymore.
pepsi sucks!!!!! coca cola is from the new generation
i miss the old pspsi can design, simple but i liked it
Choice for an *Old* Generation, I suppose for this ad.
why did coke change?
It was a true moment of stupid 1980s history- Pepsi was selling better for about a minute, so Coke decided to make their drink taste more like the competition.
While I admire the history behind Coke, I have to admit I like Pepsi better and usually get that given the choice. Cherry Coke is better than Cherry Pepsi though, and Pepsi Vanilla was better than Vanilla Coke but they both died the same time and now Vanilla Coke's come back so I buy that just to make sure it stays in production now!
