Have You Tried New Coke?

on April 1, 2009 at 8:41 AM

In a widely expected move, Coke has finally caved to the pressure (put on it by more popular carbonated beverages on the market) and released the long-anticipated New Coke! Look for a rad New Coke commercial premiering tomorrow night during The Cosby Show.

How brilliant to change a cola formula that has been popular for the last 99 years. I really think this awesome new product is going to be a HUGE success, don't you?

APRIL FOOL'S!!!

About the author Kim Conte

has shoes that make people stop her on the street and ask "Where did you get those?" but it doesn't work for taxi cabs as she was hit by one ... and lived to tell the tale. She has more freckles than Lohan but way less attitude. And she's a fierce cook with tons of recipes to share -- and wishes she could share some with Bourdain.

The summer I was 22 (LONG time ago) coke actually came out with the new coke. It was horrible stuff. At the end of the summer they announced coke classic, which was the same old coke, only with high fructose corn syrup instead of sugar. Brilliant move on their part because if they had just changed the formula people would have objected, but as it was everyone was so glad to get the classic back, most people didn't notice.

I think I did try new coke. I didn't drink a lot of soda in the 80s but I gave it a try. Which makes me one of about 20 people on earth who did try it!

(I thought your question was to give us older people something to reminisce about)

I figured this was a prank. but I did try the "new" coke back in the day. it was horrible. I nearly switched to another brand when they brought back the original formula.
