James Bond is Like Coca-Cola Which is Why for Bond, This is NO TIME TO DIE!

Join Dan and Tom as we explore NO TIME TO DIE and see why James Bond will survive his next mission by comparing it to Coca-Cola. Ok, how do we get to comparing a James Bond movie with a soft drink?  Well, we do this by looking back at how changing the Coca-Cola formula in 1985 is similar to the formula change that we believe is being attempted with the Bond franchise!  This is a unique look at Bond and NO TIME TO DIE! Of course, when the movie comes out, we could be wrong.  But we don’t think we are.

Tell us what you think, is James Bond like Coca-Cola?
