For some reason this reminds me of the Coke/New Coke fiasco, which ended up popularizing Coke Classic more than ever before.

> Consumers were outraged and demanded their beloved Coke back – the taste that they knew and had grown up with. The request to bring the old product back was so loud that soon journalists suggested that the entire project was a stunt. To this accusation Coca-Cola President Don Keough replied on July 10, 1985:

    "We are not that dumb, and we are not that smart."

I tried New Coke when it was re-released for Stranger Things. It really is a lot better than Coca Cola Classic. It's a shame that it failed.

Thanks for sharing.

I would have guessed the stunt was to hide the switch from sugar to High Fructose Corn syrup.
