In the '80s, you had two choices: The choice of Coca-Cola (old people), or the choice of a new generation (cool, young people).
At least, that's what Pepsi marketing wanted us to think. Stemming from the Pepsi Generation marketing of the '60s, they enrolled some of the biggest names in pop culture to help you make that choice, including Michael Jackson and Michael J. Fox. Mostly Michaels, apparently.

What was it called back then?
