Breaking News: Coca Cola "Classic" is no more!


That's right! Since the Coca Cola Bottling Corporation invented New Coke to compete with Pepsi beating the snot out of them with the Pepsi Challenge, they had to attach "Classic" to their original brand- despite the lack of cocaine as an ingredient.



And now it is no more! Since New Coke went the way of the dodo after only 79 days, we knew it was only a matter of time until Coke Classic went back to being Coke. It only took them 25 years to switch back. Wait... 79 days? Are you fucking serious?



Wow.



I'm wondering if Pepsi-Co updating the logos of all their products, including Sierra Mist now looking like fertilizer in a can, had anything to do with it.



Next, I want Crystal Pepsi back. That shit was delicious.

    That's the #1 soda on my list that I want them to bring back for "nostalgia's" sake.

    When it was out, it was my main drink of choice!

    In Asia, the soda is based off of real sugar rather than high fructose corn syrup. The taste is incredible.

    I'm not a big soda drinker, but there's a difference in quality and I'd drink the sugar-based soda any day.

    I've heard conspiracy theorists (my father!) say that Coke was switching from sugar to HFCS to offset high sugar prices. As a ploy to throw the consumer tastebuds off track CocaCola created the New Coke, so that when they went back to Coke Classic, no one would know/recall the original taste - all the meanwhile, HFCS is now the main sweetener agent.

    I can believe it, Cromer. Corporations are out for #1 and if they gain an extra nickel, then it was worth it. How many people do you know would honestly believe that if Yellow Dye No. 53 was a dime per soda can cheaper than Yellow Dye No. 5, that they'd reduce the price of Mountain Dew?

    Old people would.
