But in 1985, in a stranger-than-fiction twist, Coca-Cola's executives took a step so daring that no one in either company could believe it: they changed the formula of the most popular beverage on the planet.

So it can be surprising at times to the viewer throughout the course of the documentary special, that it was never always like this.
