Remember in 1985 when Coca Cola reformulated classic Coke and everyone hated it? We don’t either. Luckily, they changed it back. However, we got to try the 1985 reformulated coke(New Coke) during our show and ruminated on its flavors. As a side pairing of potentially disastrous flavor changes, we also ordered a couple of the newly formulated Pizza Hut Original Pan pizzas. Tune in for a sugar and starch filled episode…our 50th episode to be exact, AND, our 2 year show-anniversary!
