I just read in the paper (Cleveland Plain Dealer) this morning that old
coke is returning, under the name Coca-Cola Classic.  Both old and new
coke will be marketed.  Coca-Cola's stock rose $23.7 a share and
PepsiCo's fell $.75 after the announcement.  Apparently, all those calls
to the 800 number complaining about the new Coke actually paid off.
They said they received 1500 calls about the new formula a day, and many
of them were complaints that the old Coke should return.

Later today, in Atlanta, representatives of the Coca-Cola Co. will give
more details about its plans.
