Coke is bringing back New Coke

[Klosterheim]

Which Coke cleans a penny better?

I remember some sort of taste test during the county fair, I just thought is was good to keep sampling free drinks.

Stranger Things is one of the shows that I'm looking forward to seeing the most this year.

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

Maybe that was the one I tried. I think I liked it. But I think Coke had their own version of this. Can't remember. Apparently not enough people liked it for it return.

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

The 80s will never die.

Why? It sucked the first time around.
Hence, we got Coca Cola Classic.

That article I linked explains it. It's a tie in with Stranger Things season three which takes place in 1985. Love or loath New Coke it was a bonafide pop cultural event.

New Coke actually has an official retro website. It's pretty rad.

That website is great!

It's like an Alternate History, or like the retro computers in Watchmen.

I hated New Coke. I was so glad they brought the original back when they did.

I drink both Coke and Pepsi. It jsut depends on what the restaurant has I;m eating at.

I associate New Coke with the end of my childhood.

Was that the Pepsi Challenge? I remember Pepsi would go to festivals and fairs and have people blind taste test Pepsi vs Coke and get a "Pepsi Challenge" button.

Yes. Now that I think of it, that must have been it.

Thinking of fairs makes me wonder:

Why can't there be a year round restaurant that serves only fair food?

Like ultra greasy hamburgers, soft and long cut french fries and funnel cakes.

Especially salt & vinegar french fries piled sky high with nacho cheese on them.

Is it true that the only way to get the New Coke is through the web store?

^^^ Looks that way

Eh, what the heck. I ordered a pack. My wife and I are looking forward to Season 3 this summer, and it'll be perfect.

The only cola I drink is Coke Zero.
