Interesting fact, John Pemberton made coca cola because he had a crippling morphine addiction, so he was trying to make a fun and tasty way to drink the coca leaf which cocaine was derived from because it took the edge off his morphine addiction
One of the biggest issues with New Coke was the branding change. Coca Cola had used essentially the same logo and even the same general shape of bottle for nearly 100 years, and then one day they changed it. It was no longer "Coca Cola", it was now "Coke", it was no longer the stylized Coca Cola bottle, it was the same bottle as every other drink. Any time you take something that people have grown accustomed to and change it up like that, you're priming them for disapproval. Just look at any time they change the design of sites like Facebook or RUclips -- the base functionality is identical, often even seeing improvements, but because the change is so in-your-face, it primes people to disapprove of it, and they will make their opinion known. If Coke had kept the same branding and just quietly changed the formula (which they had already done numerous times over the years), none of this would have happened. Likewise, if they'd changed the formula back but had stuck with the new branding, they would never have seen a resurgence in popularity.
Completely agree. I don’t care for some of the video topics, like the mac tonight video, but I still watched the whole 20 minute video just cause he covers everything so well. EmpLemon is the GOAT
Actually, the Coke taste test thing wasn't even about the sweetness. It said that *half* of taste testers preferred Pepsi in a blind test. That means they probably just couldn't tell the two drinks apart.
I hope that in a few years one of big A’s videos will resurface and start getting recommended and the new viewers will be utterly confused as to why all the comments have to do with coffee and cows
i dont know why but i prefer the taste of coke but after half a glass the roof of my mouth becomes numb and i cant taste the coke anymore so i drink pepsi because the taste is only slightly worse and it doesnt make my mouth numb and also when coke loses the gas its literally undrinkable
This man honestly prolly did this on purpose. Change formula, make everyone miss the old. Once they say they bring back the “classic” everyone flocks. Sales increase. Classic bait and switch.
I feel like we are ignoring the fact that this ploy by coke absolutely abliterated Pepsi in the Cola wars, once they brought back real coke, they just won
That was Pepsi actually. Crystal Pepsi to be exact. Coke at least had the sense to make their least popular drink Tab clear. Nobody bought it, but nobody really bought regular Tab either.
@@Fridayknightshowing Yep, that was Pepsi. Coke such a dominating brand I misremembered that it was them. Side note: Coke did come out with Coke Clear, but only in one city in Japan for about a month. They made it with citrus flavored syrup to keep it clear.
6:276:42 That's what I think when someone keeps touting on how 'the world is changed.' I feel that people really do treat change just like that. Edit: ok watched more of the video. The reactions are not that different from today's reactions... wow! Holy #$@%!
The whole time i was like ''Dude americans being insanely stupid again'' but after he showed the sugar comparison I was on the protest side. They almost DOUBLED it, are they trying to kill you?! 42g in a single can is CRAZY
Similar thing happened with Gibson anytime they were in a slump and tried updating their guitar models. Although in that case the consumers were a little dumber since they were at least trying to fix design flaws.
As someone who’s lived in the south a long time I have NEVER heard anyone refers to all sodas as “coke”. It seems to be that the north says “pop” and the south (and I guess coasts) say “soda”. Also I’ve already watched this video but wanted to hear your take on the coke history.
To be honest.... I could 100% tell coke from other brands and it wouldn't be close. That said, telling between Pepsi and other sodie pop, that is probably harder.
The best drink is obviously Pepsi Max. We drink an absolutely stupid amount of it in Norway. I'm pretty sure we have something like 10% of global consumption.
There's no way that graph of what people call soda is accurate. I've lived in CO most of my life and I've never heard anyone call it pop here period, unless they were from the norther Midwest or something. I refuse to believe that people here call it pop more than soda, it's just blatantly incorrect
@@Kai-K yeah but I've been all over this state on both sides of the mountains and all through them, and I've never heard someone call it pop even a single time. Not once. Ever. Like if it was as popular as that chart says, then I should have heard it at least a SINGLE time
@@Kai-K Plus it says that my county is majority people who say pop, which is definitely false. I grew up in a tiny ass county with not many people, I'd definitely notice
Is it just me or is the taste of coke really inconsistent? I think I can taste the difference between Pepsi and Coke, but the difference is smaller than between one bottle of Coke and another, when Coke tastes the best it's amazing, but other times it's just another drink.
Yeah it’s all pops in general. Like for example Coke tastes the best in a pop fountain in like fast food restaurants or movie theatres due to how they’re chilled. 20oz and 2 liter bottles are very reliable but it can be hit or miss. Cans are the most hit or miss because you can get the metal can taste. But if you want the best Coke bottle wise, get the Mexican Cokes because of it being closer to the original recipe with sugar cane, less heavier/thicker and tastes sweeter than the ones with syrup.
I've lived in the south/east coast for almost my entire life and heard the claim we say coke instead of soda for decades. Yet never once have I met someone that actually calls all soda coke. I live near Atlanta, the home of coke, for God's sake. Either it's a generational thing everyone I know is unaware of or those surveys are ancient/full of shit.
Atrioc might be laughing at this but when “New Coffee” comes out you better believe he’ll be the first one to pick up a pitchfork and start rioting in the streets.

The sign that says, "Our Children will never know Refreshment," is too funny.
Bet they were "this" close to adding cocaine again
Its ok we all know big A gets his fill of cocaine when he “just filling up his water bottle”. We know what you do off screen Atrioc
they have to had at least considered it in their internal meetings
I cannot recommend EmpLemon enough, his videos are some of the best out there rn. Every single one is captivating and really well put together
Completely agree. I don’t care for some of the video topics, like the mac tonight video, but I still watched the whole 20 minute video just cause he covers everything so well. EmpLemon is the GOAT
I love how a bunch of people are finally discovering EmpLemon, dude is one of my favorite youtubers and ive loved his videos
Props to the chatter who responded to him coughing with "Coughy Cow"
Honestly if it came out that when they switched back from New Coke to Old Coke they just used the same exact formula, I would not be surprised one bit
Fun fact: There is a sequel novel to Forest Gump called Gump and Co. in which Forest fixes New Coke.
I KNEW IT. I knew when I watched that new coke video, I would see Atrioc react. I'm not Mad though, always love hearing his takes on this stuff
6:17 Big A is kinda naive on how some southerners view the civil war and Southern heritage.

Didn’t the same crap happen when they made Coke clear? They produced it, sold very little, got flak for it, then just changed it back.

bro this new outro is clean!
Goizueta: "we need a new formula"
Cosby: "rohypnol"
Imagine being executive at the Coca-cola during the protest and watching the sales numbers go through the roof
"new" coke is a generational marketing move, how'd they come up with that?!
coca-cola was invented before refrigeration, so a room temp coke taste exactly the same as a cold pepsi
The true NPC test is whether people can taste the difference in sodas
I live in the midwest... It's soda, not pop, not coke.
6:27 6:42 That's what I think when someone keeps touting on how 'the world is changed.' I feel that people really do treat change just like that.

Can confirm the south’s reaction to minor shit like this is always like it’s the next civil war
Fuck, I saw a Pepsi, and instantly took one out of my fridge without recognizing I did so

Since everyone asked, I stopped drinking the sugar version and don't even drink any kind pure anymore. At least one half carbonated water.
I think this was a good representation of what not to do in any formula. Why do you think Atrioc still is known since WWI?
Similar thing happened with Gibson anytime they were in a slump and tried updating their guitar models. Although in that case the consumers were a little dumber since they were at least trying to fix design flaws.
