Explore the long and ferocious rivalry between Coke and Pepsi.
Traces the long and ferocious rivalry between Coke and Pepsi, centered on the “New Coke” debacle of 1985.

But in 1985, in a stranger-than-fiction twist, Coca-Cola’s executives took a step so daring that no one in either company could believe it: they changed the formula of the most popular beverage on the planet.
