Coca-cola can cost 34 million dollars. So in 1985 Coke celebrated his anniversary by creating a new formula called New Coke. The drink tasted pretty similar to the old version, but there were notable changes to the taste of perplexed customers. Sales for Coke dropped 20 after the new formula was released, so Coke decided to return to the old formula and even slap the word Classic on the can so that people knew the formula was the old one.

They spent 4 million on research and development for the new formula and lost 30 million dollars in unsold inventory.
