YEAH! Yahoo! ...yippee.
Big fucking deal.

Some folks predicted this... they get a gold star. But for me,
the magic is gone. I've completely gotten rid of my Coke habit,
new or otherwise. It's Canada Dry or Schweppes Ginger Ale from
here on. Coke executives, you blew it.

And about those flames at people who express a preference,
either way: if you don't agree with people who said they liked
(or didn't like) the new Coke, it doesn't mean they're wrong!
You just have different tastes, and flaming them for theirs is
stupid.

"As President of Coca-Cola, I want to thank all of you who made
new Coke (with hydrochloric acid instead of water) a success.
And thanks to all of you who liked the old Coke, and deluged us
with mail, I'm pleased to announce that we're bringing it back. 
This is not an admittance of poor judgement, but an incredible
simulation."
