Coffee Break: It's going to be OK
by Jill Riley
September 11, 2023
This year is the 30th anniversary of the oddball campaign and short-lived Coca-Cola product OK Soda. Even though the soft drink was short-lived, the story behind it is more of a pop culture oddity than other sodas that have failed in the market.
Using a mixture of flawed marketing and strange neo-noir vagueness when describing their product, the drink didn’t even last more than 7 months after its initial distribution.
In spirit of its name — and despite its performance — how about we get some songs that suggest that we’re going to be all right, and that everything’s going to be OK
For today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, which songs that tell us everything will be OK do you want to hear?
