New Coke was released in 1985 when season 3 of Stranger Things took place. When the drink first hit stores in the 80s, consumers hated it and it sparked protests around the U.S. as well as internal lawsuits at Coca-Cola.

Three months after this, the New Coke was stopped and the original Coke was reinstated. Fast forward to present day, from the success of Stranger Things, Coca-Cola released a limited run of retro-style New Coke with Steve and Dustin featured in the commercial.
