Challenger explosion is the first news article I remember on TV. Most of what I might list here really wouldn't be showing my age accurately. I could make it sound like it though thanks to things I know of which are quite a bit older than myself.

New Coke
I'm sure there is a whole generation (maybe the Pepsi Generation) that doesn't even realise why Coke is now called Coke Classic.
Actually Coke Classic was a marketing ploy. Coca-Cola purposely made New Coke taste. . . well, not so great. Their plan was to bring "Old" Coke back and see a huge explosion in Coke sales.
Unfortunately, it never happened as planned, and Coke took a big hit in credibility and sales.
I know the guy who took all the product photos for Coke Classic just a couple of months after New Coke came out, but several months before everything switched back.
