Hold my Coke! Is Coca-Cola’s failed New Coke making a comeback thanks to Netflix’s Stranger Things?
Just when you thought Stranger Things couldn’t get more 80s, Coca-Cola arrived to proved us all wrong. The new collaboration ad isn’t promoting a new flavor or current favorite, though. Instead, Coca-Cola is focusing on a product most of you may not even remember: New Coke.
If you have no clue what New Coke is, don’t worry about it, you were likely too young! New Coke is a Coca-Cola product from the 1980s that wasn’t around for too long.
Let’s just say New Coke was not loved by many and the new Coca-Cola recipe was a flop. However, with the power of Netflix’s Stranger Things, this may change!
The soda company is bringing back New Coke cans to celebrate the upcoming third season of Stranger Things. But before we dive into more details, check out the promo yourself, below:

You may think this is a smart move from Coca-Cola, but according to a recent report, it was Stranger Things‘ creators Ross and Matt Duffer who thought of this cool collab.
Hey, even if people today aren’t into this flavor, the New Coke bottles are very cool-looking. If you’re a fan of Stranger Things, you’ll especially love them and want to add these to your collection!
How soon can you buy one? Customers will find these in stores beginning Thursday, May 23. Remember these are only around for a limited time and while supplies last!
Really don’t want to try the new flavor? Not a problem! Stranger Things cans will also be featured on regular Coke and Coke Zero Sugar. If you do get to sample a New Coke, let us know how you feel about it!
