An awesome year for certain. Loved that year actually. But no, sorry.

Well, I think you're wrong.

Dangit. You got me.

Actually the year is 1987.5... you were so close.

New Coke in 1985! So we're looking at Classic Coke years

By my calculations, we are down to a mere 3 possibilities. Dare I wager a guess?

Know that it's true your year is before, an error in syncing cost two an award.

That, I believe is a reference to "Girl You Know it's True" from Milli Vanilli. The song came out in 1988, and the "error in syncing cost two an award" was when Milli Vanilli made a live performance in 1989. They were playing the song, and the tape ended up skipping, with lines from the lyrics repeating over and over.

So going by the clues, it's after New Coke which came out in 1985, and before the Milli Vanilli scandal in 1989.

I'm going to go for it. The year is 1986.

I feel like the scandal and stripping of the award was in 1990. Leaving me a 50/50 chance after blueluigi's guess.

I'll take 1988.

The year of Beetlejuice. The film for which my daughter is named. Lydia..not Beetlejuice.
