You all know by now that this rumor turned out to be fact.  I confess,
I'm sufficiently cynical that I believe this is exactly what they
intended all along.  They got lots of attention and another product
to take just a little more shelf space (the absolute number one most
precious resource in supermarkets) and they can run ads saying "Classic
Coke was so good that you wouldn't let it die."
