Why are Coca Cola and Diet Coke so popular?
One, they taste good. Two, Coca Cola has been around for so long that there’s that name recognition. Three, great advertising and commercials. Four, a lot of people boycotted Pepsi in the 80’s because they weren’t paying proper wages so people switched to Coke and didn’t go back after the Pepsi issues were resolved. Five, Diet Coke appeals to people who like soda, but think they’re making a healthy choice choosing something with “Diet” in the title when in reality, the aspartame that sweetens the soda turns into sugar in the body, and it actually makes you want to eat, so it kind of goes against the whole dieting thing. UPDATE: For the person who said she wished Coke still came in glass bottles, they still have them. I don’t know if it was just for Christmas, but they had them in the grocery stores where I live in NY in the original 8 oz size glass bottles with the lids you need a bottle opener to pop off. We got them as a special treat. You can still get them if you look around or may
Many many years ago Coke was made with cocaine and they also did the red & white santa theme, I sure wish that we could still get coke in the glass bottles and made the old fashion way, I’m in my 50’s and I remember it being the only soda in our house and in most relatives homes also, nothing like having your fried egg hashbrowns and a small ice cold bottle of coke for breakfast, and I seem to be okay lol
