New Coke, anybody?  It was obvious what THAT was done for.

I remember New Coke.  So, was that a big mistake for Coke or were they planning on bringing Classic Coke back all along and just looking for some marketing exposure.  Of course the company will deny this.

 

 

New Coke was the unofficial name for the reformulation of Coca-Cola introduced in April 1985 by the Coca-Cola Company. It was renamed Coke II in 1992,^[1] and was discontinued in July 2002.

By 1985, Coca-Cola had been losing market share to diet soft drinks and non-cola beverages for many years. Blind taste tests indicated that consumers seemed to prefer the sweeter taste of rival Pepsi-Cola, and so the Coca-Cola recipe was reformulated. However, the American public's reaction to the change was negative, and "New Coke" was considered a major failure. The company reintroduced the original Coke formula within three months, rebranded "Coca-Cola Classic", resulting in a significant sales boost; this led to speculation that the New Coke formula had been a marketing ploy to stimulate sales of the original Coca-Cola, which the company has denied.^[2] The story of New Coke remains influential as a cautionary tale against tampering with a well-established and successful brand.
