I remember that, what a disaster. Lolz.

30 years ago today, Coca-Cola made its worst mistake

"Pepsi and Coke, have been going at it eyeball to eyeball, and in my view the other guy just blinked," said the president of rival Pepsi in 1985

New Coke tasted better. It was the southern hicks that hated it

IDK if it was discontinued or just scaled back due to the aluminum shortage so the regular SKUs (regular Coke/Diet Coke/Coke Zero, etc.) could get focus. I'm hoping the latter. It was supposed to be a Summer 2018 thing, but it was in stores through January 2020 before aluminum started getting scarce. I'm fairly certain it was found to be a popular combination from the data they collect from the Freestyle machines, so it should still be profitable.

Some things get discontinued, temporarily (limited time deals) or permanently, because they are too good. They don't want to cannibalize sales of their standard products/flavors.

Cant stand any diet, zero, caffeine free or whatever soda.

I tell you a secret: I can't see difference between Coca Cola and a generic Frizza Cola. I really can't.
Don't judge me.

I had a burger King meal before pandemic and it had coke zero and plant meat burger.

It wasn't awful as a combo. It felt oddly like eating air.

Fake food man. Welcome to the future.

Don‘t worry, that plant meat stuff is just as unhealthy as regular meat.

When are they going to put the the cocaine in Coke? Fuck real sugar. That’s the reboot I’m waiting for.
