drinks is a big selling point, I would say their ultra-sweet flavour is really what sells them, and Mother wasn't even really sweet. Yesterday when I was guzzling my third "new" Mother in as many days, I wondered if running a huge ad campaign based on how horrible the old product was was itself one giant ad campaign. But now we're getting into real outlandish conspiracy theories here. Regardless, the new one tastes almost the same as Red Bull, is twice the size and is cheaper.

section of New Coke? Given the amount of marketing for the drink and the negative public reaction, Coke clearly expended a great deal of money on the drink's promotion, to do so without positive correlations in market research would never have been considered. Unless their sample groups were all skewed...
735:
There's of course no evidence of that, but I have to tell you I thought the same thing. The old one was awful. It was hands down the worst drink I've ever tasted. Even worse than Pepsi Blue. When it first came out, I wondered what the hell they were thinking. While the "energy boost" in energy

I noticed that this article is lacking information regarding the near universal unpopularity with the initial formula. Also I think a lot of people would be wondering if Coca-Cola was trying to engineer a similar scenario to the New Coke/Classic Coke reversal. Maybe we could link to the conspiracy

It's called Mother because it's 'all natural', as in 'Mother Earth'... and also because it tastes like dirt. Seriously, do not buy this product. This is completely NPOV. It gave me freakin' heart palpitations. (I was on dexamphetamine at the time. Yes, of course I have a prescription. It's for my

Really? Citation definately needed, because that sounds like spin to me. In fact, since V & RB control 95% of the energy drink market, it would be most surprising if they'd been supplanted in the space of a month. I'd also question describing the Wedge as 'popular', or indeed 'comedy'.
774:
Seems Coca-Cola still can't win the public over with the Mother drink remake. I'm not a good writer, but could someone include how they received complaints about the nerd-bashing commercial they had to pull it, and their lame attempt stick-figure commercial.
629:
I agree with you. Soft drink implies the drink is non-alcoholic (hard drinks versus soft drinks) but more than that it's an energy drink, and in terms of disambiguation I really thought it would have been mother (energy drink) - but hey, what do i know.

The old version by far was the worst drink ever. The medicine bottle shape must have been a hint that the contents inside was nasty tasting chemicals. I had no idea the drink contained juices until I read this article.

I can't beleive anyone would consider marketing or endorsing this product. It tastes like flat old coke mixed with sachet apple cordial. It will never compete with V or Red Bull... Dreamers!
755:
Even now, I'm not a big fan of the remake. There is a reason why most cans are 375mL or less, and trying to guzzle half a litre without a bottle and lid makes me go for V or RB instead. --

No, mother is sold in NZ, but under the brand "Relentless". Other than the name, the product is identical.
