可口可樂(lè)與Netflix兩家公司于周二宣布,因與Netflix發(fā)行的電視劇《奇怪物語(yǔ)》的合作關(guān)系,New Coke將重新回歸。常喝可口可樂(lè)的人將有機(jī)會(huì)重溫可口可樂(lè)公司的一段黑暗歷史時(shí)期。
Season 3 of the show will take place in the summer of 1985, when Coca-Cola changed its formula for Coke. New Coke was considered one of the biggest marketing blunders of all time and the new version was dropped after 79 days, though sales of the original Coca-Cola rebounded.

“The summer of 1985 did in fact change everything for us with the introduction of New Coke, which was also arguably one of the biggest pop culture moments of that year,” said Oana
Oana稱“實(shí)際上1985年夏天隨著New Coke的推出,對(duì)于我們來(lái)說(shuō)一切都發(fā)生了改變。New Coke也可以說(shuō)是那年最流行的文化時(shí)刻之一”。
