    Coke is bringing back New Coke

    As a tie in with Stranger Things Coke is bringing back New Coke for a limited time.



    The 80s will never die.
    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

          I liked it a lot, they actually released it as "Coke 2" in the early 90s. I don't drink pop any longer but I might have one.

            Not a fan of Coke in any form -- too aciddy - gives me heartburn

            If I had to drink cola it's diet Pepsi

              I don't drink Coke, but I do like the bite it's got. Pepsi just doesn't have that "kick". If it doesn't make my eyes water, why bother drinking it?

                Coke has more sodium than Pepsl, Pepsi has more sugar than Coke, so which is the lesser of the two evils?

                  Well, if you're fat and have high blood pressure (like yours truly) both are nasty evils

                    If they put out New Coke Zero, I may try a can.

                      I will, certainly, try it again. Betting it won’t taste the same as the original “New Coke.” ��

                        Nostalgic curiosity is the only reason I might try something I remember not liking so much during its original go-round. I think nostalgia makes us give pretty large allowances. After all, all the best shows/music/candy/fashion/toys/teams/celebrities/movies are from the specific years of my childhood.

                        Well, maybe not the fashion.

                          That's freakin awesome.

                          I love Stranger Things.

                          Except, I haven't had a Coke in ages, so I'm not sure I could taste a difference with no standard to compare to.

                            About 20 years ago, Coke had this limited edition flavor that came out around Thanksgiving/Christmas that was tweaked a bit to taste like the 'holiday season' (whatever that's suppose to taste like). I bought some and thought it was pretty good. It didn't taste too different from the regular Coke, but there was a difference nonetheless. I wouldn't mind if they brought that back, too.
                            I am more than machine. More than man. More than a fusion of the two.

                              In 2004, Pepsi had a "Holiday Spiced" version that was supposed to have ginger and cinnamon. Apparently, it was never released again.
