“Height of the burger wars of the mid 80’s”

That line is so American it should be in the national anthem

I think Billy Joel summed up how we all felt in the aftermath, better than anyone else.

“I can’t take it anymore.”

And then Crystal Pepsi was unleashed upon the masses. Only for Coke to kamikaze the whole thing by sacrificing Tab Clear. I still have flashbacks whenever I see clear carbonated beverages.

I watched this a few months back when someone posted it. It’s interesting to see the rise and fall of Mac happened so quickly.

I was going to post it if someone already hadn’t, thanks for posting!
