The original coke was a mixer as well 7up is a mixer. Which explains the simple question
Coke or Pepsi
7up or sprite
Who wants a Rum and Pepsi..😂

[mourbow]

I tried New Coke, and all I can remember is it was very sweet (sugary) and that it was on the shelves for months at stores.

[dawnhall]

Thank you for sharing this video ❤. Mike, you're awesome making everyone laugh. Thank you 😊😊❤❤😊😊

This is becoming one of my favorite YouTube channels, so many interesting videos

A greater mistake for the titanic was the replacement of one of the officers, the one that was replaced still had the keys to the binocular locker on him. Thus the lookouts didn’t have access to them.

I tried New Coke. It was super sweet even sweeter than Pepsi. The thing was they switched from real sugar to high fructose corn syrup, and they had NO IDEA IT WAS SICKENING SWEET. they reduced the amount of high fructose corn syrup and went back to the original recipe. Today's Coke isn't quite as good as the original. You can taste the difference.

Try a can of coke, then try a Mexican coke in a glass bottle.

New Coke was an attempt to save money

Putin is now wanting Alaska back. LOL 😅😆🤣🤣🤣

A woman in Louisville was delivering newspapers at 6 am - one of three jobs she was working to get by financially - when found an oddly grey M & M in the bag she was munching. She ate it along with the others, then less than an hour later heard on her car radio an ad for the M & Ms Million Dollar Giveaway. The company had placed 12 grey ones in random bags shipped around the nation - with each grey M & M getting the lucky purchaser $1 million.
She had eaten a million dollars. This woman was a writer who wrote an essay about the episode of her million dollar morning snack, for which she won the top award at an open mic night (I also read at that one, and she stole the show!)
She’ll keep our respect and admiration for a lifetime, whereas the million bucks would have been gone decades ago!

A mistake by a bank in GB putting 50 pound notes instead of 5 pound notes cost the bank millions of pounds if they took out 50 pounds they got 500 many people ended up draining the machine when they found out the mistake

[danielgreenhalgh]

I reckon if they just left the mustache in for those scenes then no one would have actually noticed and it would be on a List 25 video

[rbjeans]

Could add the Hubble Telescope error to the list. Cost $700 Million to fix.

[markp]

Mike ❤. I thought I would share with you. My most expensive mistake was going to Walmart on a trip to Texas😢

[daveogarf]

Sorry, Mike - In the case of the ship and the town, it's "Vahl-DEEZ", not "Vahl-dez".

[divyangvaidya]

That unit error has been cited by STEM professors ever since lol. It's honestly so embarrassing as communication was also to blame.

[j.p.]

9:39 What’s maddening is that the people who spent it and did not return it knew it wasn’t theirs and didn’t care, and almost definitely spent it on things that weren’t necessities

#26 Missouri, Texas Post Office ... Package delivery stalled for weeks ... Pulled out old sorting equipment (both lines) and then found new equipment would not fit in building. No solution as of today.

I was actually part of the desperate taste testing for new Coke VS Pepsi and RC Cola. I was easily about to tell the difference between them, since I was I think 15 at the time, and was a Coke Girl, not Pepsi.
New Coke was bland and dull, barely carbonated, and caused an instant film in your mouth. You do not want to have to brush your teeth after having Cola of any kind, UGH! It truly was terrible, and I did advise the New Coke was a bad idea that could destroy the company. The Testers were unamused, yet they agreed with me!

It was a mistake when you left List 25
