Coke Zero was amazing. Every other diet soda had an off taste, and it was so close to Coca Cola and many people I knew, people that were Pepsi drinkers that needed to cut out the HFCS, started to drink Coke Zero. The fact that Diet Coke and Coke Zero can both exist at the same time is remarkable.

@kimyona9746 Жыл бұрын

Because the aspartame taste of diet coke has a following but many people didn't like diet coke, but the same amount of people do. So when they made coke zero, it was successful because those that like diet coke like diet coke and those that didn't like it would get either regular or coke zero. I prefer diet coke but coke zero is good too. I know some people that get both diet and zero. Which is pretty cool. Since they both have followings, they exist together.

Other than that I just want to say that, despite being a short-lived thing, the Fanta Bamboocha ads remain relevant in my family after all these years.

Back in the 30's, there was a pinball company called Gottlieb, which was acquired by Columbia in the 70's, but still used the Gottlieb name (with a Columbia sticker on the coin door). When Columbia was acquired by Coca-Cola, the pinball machines were then branded as "Gottlieb by Premier" (Premier being the name used by the Coca-Cola/Gottlieb union) until they went under in 1996.

You forgot one big Christmas advertisement: "A Charlie Brown Christmas". Yes, this children's classic that has been an annual tradition for over 6 decades was originally commissioned by Coke. The original version of the special contained several ads for Coca Cola. An example is after Charlie Brown is whipped into a tree by SNoopy that reveals the words "A Charlie Brown Christmas", Linus would be whipped into a signe that read "brought to you by those in your town who bottle Coca Cola" The ending with the kids singing would end with "Merry Christmas from those that bottle Coke. Coca Cola ads would eventually be cut out after Coke stopped being the official sponsor. The irony of all this was that the entire special was about anti-commercialism while created by a commercial enterprise.

I remember visiting Mexico City as a kid and I swear it was way easier to get your hands on a soda than it was to get a water bottle, just 'coca cola' signs in every direction as far as the eye could see

Fun fact: Barq's makes more than regular root beer. I first found this out when I was on vacation and visited the WW2 museum in New Orleans. In the food court next to the gift shop they had one of those open air fridges and inside were plastic bottles of Barq's Red Creme Soda in it, and during that whole trip I never found it anywhere else. Other than that, I have never seen another variety of Barq's, not even Barq's diet root beer.

My late grandfather used to work at Coca Cola from 1975 to 2019 and he was a very loyal Coke drinker for as long that I can remember. A few years back, he told me that "Pepsi is a bad word." Man, that was some good times.

I have a party cooler with the Coca-Cola label on it. I store my Coca-Cola products in it. No Pepsi allowed!

@@melissacooper8724 Nice, I actually have a Coca-Cola miniature fridge within my room and sadly I only been keeping Dr. Pepper in there, but no Pepsi had ever ended up in there so far. (I'm planning to keep it like that as well.)

I'd stop using Forbes as a source. Current estimations show about 50% of their work is paid for. IE where do you want to be on the list?

Having lived in Italy for a while it's strange to me to see that almost any coca-cola variation was absent from the market until few years ago. I think that in the '90 and 2000 the only Coca-cola variation was the light version. When I was a kid I didn't even like the taste of it, and in birthday parties I was one of the few drinking Fanta (also here only orange version was available) and the ones drinking Sprite pure weirdos.

Coca Cola is both bigger and smaller than you know, because a lot of Coca Cola bottlers are actually somewhat seperate companies that have ‘Coca Cola’ in their names.

The funniest thing I remember from the early days of the pandemic were all of the shelves in the water aisle being completely barren except for a ton of crates of Dasani just sitting in the corner untouched. Even during what feels like the end-times, people still wouldn't drink that crap lol. Not sure what it is about Dasani and Powerade but they both have a really bitter aftertaste. I'm surprised Dasani is doing well and not surprised at all that Powerade is struggling.
