1985 New Coke commercial

This was right after "The New Coke" had been heralded as new and Coca-Cola started to promote it as just "Coke", though it still had the "New!" on the can. (Kinda like how George Lucas says the revised versions of the "Star Wars" movies are the real versions.) They brought in a new theme song (this time done in the style of George Benson's "On Broadway") with the "Coke Is It" slogan they'd been using a couple years already.
The very day this commercial was taped, Coke announced they were bringing back the old Coke.

It's been 22 years since then, so can we PLEASE get the word "Classic" taken off the current Coke labels now??

I remember that episode, I believe that it was from the summer of 1992. It was the second episode of the series that featured Homer's brother. Does anyone know if he was ever seen or even mentioned after that?

Although I grew up in the eighties and remember the bulk of what you wrote about, there is one thing that I do not understand. What was special about Black Friday in 1987?

[poodtang1]

They did a spoof of new coke on The Simpson's. Where Homer's rich brother Herb goes bankrupt and homeless. And he's talking with other bums that are homeless after bad business decisions and one of the bums who lost it all is the guy who came up with new coke.

way to cause a scene BITCH

[NoIDidunt10]

Wars,terorist attacks,plane hijackings,major earthquakes,Black Friday in 1987,and the biggest story of the '80s was Coke changing it's flavor.The'80s were so lame

[sneakyrabbits]

seriously what is with women getting pissed at men in 80s coke commercials, another commercial showed some guy acting all goofy with his coke and getting slapped by the girl he was with. Is coke supposed to ease the pain?
