TAMPA (WFLA) – The Coca-Cola company resurrected a controversial drink from 1985 – "New Coke".
The drinks giant has brought back the soda to promote the third season of "Stranger Things".
In an effort to reverse the drop in sales, Coca-Cola introduced a new formula in 1985. Many consider this decision as one of the biggest setbacks of commercialization in US history.
It was a largely ridiculous disaster and after only 79 days, the new formula was dropped and "Coca-Cola Classic" is back on the shelves.
In the honor of Stranger Things, Coca-Cola opened the safe and recreated New Coke's formula. The third season of the show takes place in 1985.
John Rogers and meteorologist Ed Bloodsworth had the opportunity to taste the drink.
It has a distinctly different flavor than the classic Coca-Cola. It is sweeter with a clearly different spice bouquet.
John Rogers explained that the taste is somewhere between Coke and Pepsi. He compared it to a cheap generic cola.
"If you really like Coca-Cola, you probably will not like it," said Ed Bloodsworth.
