One of the most bizarre TV commercials, I came through while browsing the internet sites is the Coca-Cola’s “New Coke” advertisement. It was in the year 1985 when cola wars was at the prime stage and both Pepsi as well as Coke were found to standby full blown advertisement campaigns. Basically, the Pepsi challenge was proving to the people that they actually preferred the taste of Pepsi more in comparison to that of Coke as of the outcome of Blind Taste Test and this mainly worried the people of Coca-Cola.
