![]() | For those who don’t know, essentially, Coca-Cola came out with New Coke in 1985. Everybody HATED it. However just a few months later, due to the failure of New Coke, regular Coca-Cola was reintroduced to stores. The conspiracy theories behind it assume that the introduction of New Coke was a way for Coca-Cola to introduce a new recipe without anyone noticing. People believe that New Coke was introduced and taken away in such a short amount of time for people to forget the flavor of the original Coca-Cola (that contained cane sugar) and reintroduce Coca-Cola with a new recipe that contained High Fructose Corn Syrup. High Fructose Corn Syrup has tremendous health defects compared to cane sugar. The introduction of it and a change to an almost century old recipe would have crippled Coca-Cola and would have caused outrage worldwide. By introducing New Coke, Coca-Cola was able to change the recipe of the original drink and add High Fructose Corn Syrup without the public noticing a change in flavor. Does anyone think that the ban on TikTok could be similar? Other than the political arguments behind it, the banning of TikTok for 14 hours (or however long it was) could have been just enough for a server update/maintenance or whatever needed to be done without the public noticing. TLDR: Coke changed the recipe by removing Coca-Cola from shelves in the ‘80s without the public knowing. Did TikTok do the same thing? [link] [comments] |
