Coke bringing back ‘New Coke’ campaign in honor of ‘Stranger Things’

Coca-Cola is bringing back “New Coke” as part of a promotional campaign in collaboration with Netflix’s “Stranger Things.”

The soft drink that drew wide backlash from consumers in 1985 will be available for a limited time and appear in several episodes of the supernatural thriller set in the 1980s.

The beverage campaign comes as Netflix tries to ramp up its corporate partnerships to recruit even more people to its streaming service.

Netflix confirmed to The Hill that H&M and other retailers will sell clothes that replicate what the “Stranger Things” characters wear. Baskin-Robbins will serve new flavors in reference to the show’s Scoops Ahoy ice cream parlor.

These corporate-partnerships give Netflix a way to promote its product without interrupting shows with commercials.
