New Coke was a masterclass in viral marketing. Because it didn't happen like this video says. Coke just switched the formula. Then people noticed that Coke tasted different. Finally Coke admitted to it. People freaked out! It was a massive scandal. It was also covered by every news outlet in the world. Then Coke branded the new formula as New Coke and brought back the original as Classic Coke. So Coke got all the coverage and made their customers more passionate at the same time. It is theorized they calculated it at the outset.

Nobody in 1986 foresaw just how fast computer graphics would improve. Namely, he was meant to represent a 2020s video game avatar. But IRL, he was an actor wearing a rubber mask and a fiberglass suit. In fact, even the BACKGROUND (at first) was hand-drawn! Not until the Amiga had come out, were they able to design a CGI background for the character! As a side note, a lot of people got that his name was the result of Edison Carter's dying memory of a road sign that read "Max. Headroom 2.3m" What almost nobody noticed, however, was that "Network 23" was generously financed by a Chinese billionaire named "Ped Xing," which can be a proper Chinese name, but (on American streets) can also be an acronym for "Pedestrian Crossing."

You should talk about inconvenience things like no cell phones you had to remember numbers or have a pocket phone directory with you and a quarter for the pay phone. To change the TV channel you had to get up and turn a switch that turned the antenna and you hoped the weather was good for the signal to come in. When you picked up the phone the neighbors could listen in as you were on a party line (Rural areas) so to use the phone you had to ask the people that were already using it if you could please make a call and haggle with them that they'll be done in 10-15 minutes.

My God, the "financial penalties" for returning a movie were maybe a buck. It wasn't like a hotel resort fee. And after a while they started giving you a ridiculously long amount of time--a week even. If you can't get your caca together in a week you deserve to be dinged a buck. I guess libraries terrified you too...

NO! The Coke-a-cola corp. did this as a ploy to start the dust up... so, as what we saw was the old coke come back too out sell Pepsi 2 to 1... sound like an idea any money man would come up with.

I remember people selling cases of original Coke for astronomical prices before they reintroduced it as Classic Coke. But yeah it was probably planned.

The only video game I remember being a phenomenon was Space Invaders. I walked into an arcade at the height of the invasion and it was just whumph WHUMPH! It was absolutely insane. All the machines synched up. Over half the machines in the arcade were Space Invaders and they were all being played at once. The aliens almost won.

Aside from Reagan, AIDS, the Moral Majority (which, as the saying went, was neither), and Iran/Contra, I'll take the weighty eighties over any part of the 21st century so far any day.

Reagan, &, to an extent, the Moral Majority, were 2 of the best things about the 80s.

Fortunately, MTV did give us the "Headbangers' Ball". The Cosby Show wasn't bad, just not realistic. And, best of all, eight years of "Newhart".

Loved the Reagan Administration, resulted in lower taxes, more jobs, less inflation, & ended the Cold War.
