Wait a minute. Back in the 80's, after they realized they screwed up, they said they were bringing back the "original Coke" and I thought they did. If that was true, then what the hell is this "New Coke" business?

I'm so confused. Confused

New Coke was originally on the market for only 79 days. Realizing their blunder, Coca-cola took it off the market after 79 days and reinstituted the original formula as "Coke Classic".

Now New Coke is being reintroduced in ltd supplies in connection with a cable program set in 1985, when the initial debacle happened. New Coke will be prominent in several shots.


New Coke was sold for years, they just named Coke Coca-Cola Classic and sold New Coke at the same time.

Yes, but Pepsi's bringing back Michael Jackson.
