New Coke - 1985

It's 1985, it's Atlanta Georgia and in the underground lair of PROJECT KANSAS evil soft drink scientists are cooking up a batch of wholly anti-American liquid.

In what 85% of blind taste-testers agree is the 15th episode of the CB Wallop podcast join Phil Jerrod and Phil Lucas as they discuss NEW COKE - the diabolical black fluid that alienated millions of Americans, upset Bill Cosby and ultimately solidified Coca-Cola's reputation as the world's best loved can of sugar, fizz and brown. 

Was New Coke a disaster for old Coke? … no.. no it was not.  

_Trigger Warning! - This episode is mainly discussing soft drinks - so… I guess, if you've had some sort of soft drink related trauma in the past proceed with caution. Otherwise - fill your boots. _
