'Stranger Things' ice cream is coming to Baskin-Robbins in June

#StrangersThings #IceCream #Baskin-Robbins  is launching several “Stranger Things”-inspired ice cream flavors and sweet treats in June. Season 3 of the Netflix show will be released on July 4. The two new flavors the Canton, Massachusetts-based chain is unveiling are Eleven’s Heaven, waffle cone-flavored ice cream with chocolate-coated sugar cone pieces and a chocolate-icing-flavored ribbon, and Upside Down Pralines, chocolate ice cream with praline pecans and a chocolate-caramel flavored ribbon. For those unfamiliar, Eleven is the name of one of the key characters on "Stranger Things," and the Upside Down is an alternate dimension. Baskin-Robbins and Netflix are also partnering to create a Scoops Ahoy ice-cream truck, a reference to the ice cream parlor that's on the show. It will serve fans on the West Coast in June. Baskin-Robbins' other "Stranger Things" tie-ins include: Upside Down Sundae — a sundae made with Upside Down Praline

New Coke Was a Debacle. It’s Coming Back. Blame Netflix.

#Netflix #NewCoke #StrangersThings  New Coke, the soft drink that drew a nationwide backlash in 1985, is back. And the credit, or blame, for the return of Coca-Cola’s greatest folly goes to Netflix. A limited supply of the vintage beverage will be available starting on Thursday as part of a robust promotional campaign related to the coming season of “Stranger Things,” the supernatural thriller set in the 1980s. Netflix, which has 149 million paid subscribers worldwide, is starting to ramp up its corporate partnerships and merchandising deals. The strategy gives the streaming service a way to market its wares and generate a new revenue stream that doesn’t involve interrupting its shows with commercials. Unlike its competitor Hulu, Netflix is commercial free, although it has included product placement — sometimes paid, sometimes not — on its series and films. The revival of New Coke comes as part of a large-scale marketing effort of the kind usually associated with summertim

Coca-Cola is bringing back New Coke in honor of 'Stranger Things'

#CocaCola #NewCoke #StrangersThings #Disney #GalaxysEdge #StarWars,  Coca-Cola is hoping a failed product from the 1980s will help it go viral in 2019. The company is bringing back a limited number of New Coke cans in honor of the upcoming third season of "Stranger Things," in which the product is featured. "Stranger Things" creators Ross and Matt Duffers came up with the idea to bring New Coke back as a way to promote the show, which will start streaming on Netflix (NFLX)on July 4. The third season of the show takes place during the summer of 1985 — when Coca-Cola (KO) debuted a new recipe for its iconic beverage. So-called New Coke was a flop: Consumers reacted so poorly to the new drink that Coca-Cola pulled it from shelves after a few months. Bringing New Coke back is a way for Coca-Cola to "not take ourselves too seriously," Stuart Kronauge, president of Coke's sparkling business unit and senior vice president of marketing for Coca-Col

"Stranger Things" season 3 trailer- 80s nostalgia appears to be back in full force.

#StrangersThings #Season3 #80s #MillieBobbyBrown #SadieSink  The trailer for the third season of "Strangers Things" has dropped, and fans are excited that the 80s nostalgia appears to be back in full force. Quick cuts of a community pool, a carnival, and an ice cream shop flash across the screen as a remix of "Baba O'Reilly" by The Who grows to a crescendo. The new season will premiere on July 4, the trailer reveals. Images of actresses Millie Bobby Brown and Sadie Sink dancing around a bedroom while singing into a hairbrush and taking a trip to the mall prompted some fans to reminisce about their own youthful "girl time." Many were amused by the inclusion of a mall — a staple for '80s kids. "The era of 80s Mallrats has arrived in Hawkins, Indiana," one enthusiastic fan wrote on Twitter. . anna @Petalouda8 LOVE seeing Eleven & Max have fun girl time together. I was so hoping the an
