Christmas Potato Classic vs. New Christmas Potato





The video is just over 8 minutes of spudliness"

Shortly before our 3rd year of throwing Christmas potatoes the biggest selling soft drink in the world decided to scrap the formula of their best selling carbonated beverage and replace it with a flavor more similar to another brands signature flavor.

Almost 30 years later it still doesn't make sense. Shortly afterwards they brought the old flavor back and labled it "Coke Classic"

Which leads me to the new version of the Christmas potato story. In this case it isn't a battle  of "new" vs "classic." It is just a minor update in the telling of the same story with a few very small changes newer artwork or re-imaginings.

For anyone that hates to break tradition here is a link to the "classic" telling of the story with all the original art from 1993 created with the first version of the color version of Kid Pix. 

Now the best of both worlds is available.
Merry Christmas
