>OK Soda's own advertisements went so far as to disparage the beverage's taste comparing it to things like "carbonated tree sap".

Boomers thought they were the first and last generation of young people. When Generation X became teens and young adults, Boomers collectively freaked out because it meant they weren't going to be eternally young. Lots of Boomer culture of the time reflects this anxiety about needing to grow up and become adults. Since they were increasingly in charge of media, they coped with the existence of a new youth generation by saying they were emotionless robots that hate everything. OK Soda's marketing was meant to be a "hello fellow kids" tactic aimed at a generation unable to feel anything. Young people were meant to look at the can and think "finally, a product made for people like me".
Coca-Cola was so sure that they had figured out "the kids of today" that they didn't even wait for the test market results before starting the nationwide rollout, which had to be aborted when the test markets turned out to be a disaster.
