I had to suffer this and now so should you all

I love when people make sweeping assumptions of people who likes an older feature as “uncreative” and “munchkins” to justify their own opinions. No, just because you are incapable of seeing why a lot of us creative and non-optimizing players love the creative freedom of the original features doesn’t mean we are suddenly bad guys. If we are to take the other side’s concerns as genuine and worth hearing, maybe they should show the same basic respect. They won’t it seems but it would be nice.

New Coke Is Back In 2019, And We Tasted It

New Coke is back in 2019 thanks to 'Stranger Things,' and we tried it. This is our honest review of one of the biggest product failures of all time.

Wow. Conflating two completely unrelated things to snark on someone who’s already exited a thread.

Classy.

Like pizza and pineapple?

Do I have it right that for 77 days it was just "Coke" since the previous Coke didn't exist any more?

Anyway, Wikipedia has some stuff on the initial success (that I didn't recall) and then the bakclash (which I did), and then the effect of the competitions moves, and its final fall, and then return.

New Coke - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

For the return anyway, it notes:

"Food & Wine staffers also had favorable impressions: "sweeter and smoother than regular Coke", "almost syrupy in a pleasant way", although an older one who recalled the original rollout said it had not improved for them."

I don't remember if it ever attained just Coke status, because it was so long ago. It got rid of that acidic bite that regular Coke has, which is specifically the reason that I prefer Coke over Pepsi. It seemed, at the time, that I wasn't alone in that.
