The Power Of Stranger Things Is Bringing Back New Coke

The Power Of Stranger Things Is Bringing Back New Coke

, , , , , 0

There’s a new teaser for Stranger Things Season 3 out…..sort of. It’s actually more of a commercial for Coca-Cola. The third season takes place during the summer of 1985, and if you’ve been paying attention to the REALLY important stuff in history class, you know that was the time when Coke made the biggest blunder of its entire existence. With Pepsi eating into its market share, and sales of Diet Coke (introduced three years earlier) rising, the execs at Coke came to the conclusion that their classic formula needed to be updated. Both Diet Coke and Pepsi contained a sweeter taste than traditional Coke did, so the thought was that if they made Coke just as sweet, it would regain the customers it had lost. So in ’85 Coca-Cola was retired and “New Coke” was brought out with massive fanfare. It was rejected immediately upon arrival, with customers weirded out by the different taste and angry they couldn’t purchase the original version anymore. Sales of Coke plummeted and the company

Stranger Things Season 3 Trailer

No more fooling around; it’s time to actually witness real clips from Hawkins, Indiana circa the summer of 1985. Netflix makes us wait ridiculously long for new seasons of Stranger Things — the first tease for this one was released almost a year ago; the Starcourt Mall commercial. This is not a commercial, nor is it a clip from Dick Clark’s Rockin’ eve or a GIF of some rats — it’s what we’ve been waiting for. Mike is depressed because he feels like all his friends are growing up and moving on. That’s kinda what happens when you focus a show on children and you take this long to make new episodes. But the circumstances aren’t helping. That new flashy mall is attracting all the social attention, and a traveling carnival is taking up the remainder of anyone’s spare time. Things are changing in Hawkins…for the stranger. A lot of shots in this trailer have yet to make sense. Nancy and Jonathan are in fancy suits waiting in the lobby

We now know when Netflix will disgorge Stranger Things Season 3 from their dimension: July 4, 2019. “But I’ll be busy lighting illegal fireworks then!” you might say. Actually, if you can stay up until midnight on the evening of July 3, that won’t be a problem. The announcement comes with a new trailer, appropriately New Years themed. It’s a local Hawkins broadcast of Dick Clark’s New Years Rockin’ Eve 1985. They get terrible reception in Hawkins, mainly due to the secret government signals interfering with Ms. Byers’ rabbit ears. Now it’s time for a Popgeeks Exclusive: I actually have access to a recording of that night. Not from YouTube, but from my private collection: Rockin’ Eve 1985 was taped by my dad back in the day. What’s in the trailer was not the video OR the audio that aired during the final minute. Behold: The footage of Dick Clark and the audio of him ushering in a new year seem to be taken from something else; only the shot

Netflix still isn’t ready to show anyone what the third season of Stranger Things looks like, so they must stall for time with barely related videos. If it’s the Christmas season, they can get away with showing the neighborhood kids of Hawkins, IN wrapping presents and going nuts. We have confirmation that all of the male voices have gotten deeper. At least one of them does the Floss, but that was fully expected. It’s a mystery who they’re wrapping these presents for, but one recipient must be Negan from The Walking Dead, given the presence of a bat-shaped gift with nails sticking out. Unless I’m crazy, this video also contains the sentence “Xuxa, I will never forget you.” Maybe I’m crazy. We still don’t know much about this coming season, other than the fact that the main centerpiece will be a new mall built in Hawkins that quickly becomes the latest Ground Zero for an Upside-Down invasion. We anticipate the season will be more original than that, though, as one

Stranger Things is the one Netflix show you can feel safe in assuming will not be cancelled on a cliffhanger (unless Netflix themselves goes belly-up). Today the streaming giant released their first teaser for Season 3. We’ll just tell you right now, it contains no actual clips, so don’t go in expecting any. Instead it reveals all the titles of the eight planned episodes. Season 2 was teased in a similar manner. For the record, here are the eight titles: Suzie, Do You Copy? The Mall Rats The Case Of The Missing Lifeguard The Sauna Test The Source The Birthday The Bite The Battle Of Starcourt Subject to change. Not all of the titles revealed in the original Season 2 teaser made it to the final product. Also, nobody named “Suzie” has been revealed yet. If it’s a better glimpse at the plot you want, you’d be better off watching the trailer for the Stranger Things video game, which was revealed during the Game Awards last week. It’s rendered in

Hawkins is finally joining the late 20h century with the addition of their first-ever shopping mall. Our first glimpse of Stranger Things Season 3 comes courtesy of Starcourt Industries (an international enterprise), who this morning issued a public statement and this exciting new commercial: “Hawkins is the perfect All-American town to host our next venture, for so many reasons, but it’s the people in this community who who will make this mall so much more than just a shopping center,” said a Starcourt representative. I want to go to the Starcourt, badly, and I doubt I’m alone. I wish shopping malls were as big today as they were in the 80s. I also wish the prices there were competitive with the prices online, which is the problem. As cool as this place looks, imagine how much better it’ll be when a rift to the Upside Down inevitably rips open in the Scoops Ahoy milkshake machine and monsters tumble out. I can’t wait for…..next summer? WHAT?? Both the ad and the

Telltale Games have become world-renowned experts at taking story-rich properties and mining them for their full potential, whether the property is as obscure as Fables or as permanently zeitgeisty as Batman. Now they’re going back in time (no, not Back to the Future…they already did that one) to the early 80s — the era of creepy creatures, mirror dimensions, children with destructive psychic powers, and shoulder pads. Ah, the memories. Yes, Telltale announced a Stranger Things game this week. Just the announcement was made, with no other information. If it’s like their others, then it will probably be a point-and-click adventure game released in chapters, and at some point you will read the words “Eleven will remember this.” There’s more: Telltale is working with Netflix in more than one fashion, developing a series of “interactive narratives” for the streaming service. They’re half-shows, half-games where you decide what happens next with your remote. There already exist a few of these on Netflix, with titles like Stretch Armstrong: The Breakout and Buddy

Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights has become a major attraction for the theme park over the last few years. Usually the latest event will be based around a popular movie or TV show with horror elements. For 2018 they’ve come up with the idea of recreating the Upside-Down from Stranger Things. Yes, you and all your friends will be able to visit the blue, dimly lit, vine-covered dimension for yourselves this Halloween. In fact the maze will contain more than one environment…you’ll also get to visit Hawkins Lab and the Byers’ house circa Season One with the Christmas lights strung everywhere. Count on being jump-scared by at least one Demogorgon, but don’t bet on any Demodogs unless they find some actual canines willing to wear scaly suits for hours. The Stranger Things maze will appear at all Universal parks (Hollywood, Orlando Resort, and Singapore). Halloween Horror Nights begins September 14 in Hollywood and Orlando and september 28 in Singapore. This is just the first announcement from Universal regarding their Halloween

Stranger Things is one of those shows where you don’t know if you’ll like it, but then you see it, and if you like it, you tell someone else to watch it, and they tell someone, and on and on until it becomes a phenomenon. And it indeed did, as the horror show on Netflix that was full of 80’s nostalgia truly captured the minds and fears of its viewers. So, when Stranger Things Season 02 was confirmed, and premiered, many wondered if it would still capture peoples hearts and minds. Uh…turns out to be yes. And not just yes, but emphatically yes. As 15.8 million people have watch the premiere of Season 02. Think about that. 15.8 million, there are primetime TV shows that don’t get that kind of attention.Yet, Stranger Things did. The average views per episode is around 8.8 million, and recall, it just came out last week, so a lot of people are tuning in to watching it. And, as this is Netflix, there have been
