So is it actually gonna be New Coke, or just the cans? The advertising disguised as a news article mentions needing to go deep into the vaults to find the recipe. As if the Coca f***ing Cola organization doesn't have an immaculately maintained archive.

They made New Coke for a lot longer than I would have thought (1985-2002).

So I'm bumping this up because my order of New Coke that I ordered off Coke's website arrived today. I haven't tried any of it yet, I'm saving it for a special occasion.

my parents have differing opinions on the "success" of New Coke. my mom thinks it is one of the worst business decisions of all time, while my dad maintains it is one of the most ingenious marking strategies of all time

I wish they would bring back Virgin Cola.
I can't describe it but that stuff was just awesome.. Last time I had it was when I flew with Virgin Atlantic to Tokyo.

Only side that loads me to believe it was a major mistake is the amount of money they lost, plus an immediate loss in market share. If it was on purpose it was the ballziest move I've ever heard of

Anyone interested in the history of New Coke (how it came about, why it failed, how people reacted, etc). should check out Thomas Oliver's book 'The Real Coke, The Real Story". It's a really interesting read and it helps explain what the Coca-Cola people were thinking and why they did what they did.
