The Emotional Betrayal That Destroyed New Coke

Описание: In 1985, Coca-Cola made the most expensive marketing mistake in corporate history. They killed their 99-year-old formula and replaced it with “New Coke.” But despite 200,000 taste tests saying people preferred the new flavor, Coke ignored one thing: Emotional Attachment — the real Silent Antagonist.

The backlash was immediate and explosive. Thousands of phone calls. Lawsuits. Boycotts. Protests. To many Americans, the formula change felt like a personal betrayal. Within 79 days, Coca-Cola was forced to surrender and bring back the original recipe.

In this Ripple Trace breakdown, we follow the chain reaction that turned a catastrophic failure into one of the greatest accidental marketing victories of all time — and what this disaster reveals about the power of emotion in decision-making.

If Coke could miss a threat this obvious… what else are corporations ignoring?
