@calizaybak.bsky.social: New Coke was pretty bad...

We Didn’t Start the Fire is obviously a hilarious song but we don’t talk enough about the line “cola wars I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE”, like was that the straw that broke the camels back for you my man?

New Coke was pretty bad...

arguably, the national hysteria over its introduction was worse. how i interpret that line: masses of people become enraged at the stupidest thing

I don’t know, Breyers replaced their lactose-free chocolate ice cream with a different recipe, taking away the only ice cream my daughter liked and could eat, and now after nearly 50 years of eating their ice cream, I consider them dead to me. YMMV

ok, but in this case, you could always drink pepsi and not actually notice any difference
