They reformulated coke and nobody liked it and then went back to "old" coke in the 80s (I think?), which makes me wonder how much backlash they got when they went from a concoction of cocaine, morphine, caffiene, other drugs and dubious medicinal compounds to a soft drink. ๐Ÿค”

Surely there were people demanding Coke still have coke in it.
