Description

In the early 90’s, an earth shattering event occurred that would change the face of American culture forever: Coca-Cola changed their recipe. New Coke was supposed to be sweeter to combat the rising popularity of Pepsi, but the customer reaction was decidedly sour. Lawsuits and public outrage contributed to the PR Nightmare - somehow hiring Bill Cosby as their spokesperson wasn’t the worst business decision Coca-Cola made that year!


Preacher Lawson (My Name Is Preacher, America’s Got Talent) and Paul F. Tompkins (BoJack Horseman, The Great North) join Misha to savor the sweet, sweet Flop that is New Coke.
