OK folks, now that ALL of you have assumed you were the ONLY
ones who heard the old Coke is coming back, and just HAD to
tell the WHOLE WORLD (who undoubtedly knew already anyway),
you can stop patting yourselves on the back.

WE ALREADY KNOW!
WE ALREADY KNOW!
WE ALREADY KNOW!
WE ALREADY KNOW!

So shut up already.

And for those of you who think "consumer pressure" did the
trick, wait until you find out how they'll PRICE the stuff
before you congratulate each other.  Someone earlier theorized
that the only reason Coke did this was so they could "miraculously"
bring back the "good ol' stuff" due to "popular demand" and
charge an arm and a leg for it.  Maybe I'm cynical (Hell! I KNOW
I'm cynical), but that's what this looks like it to me.

The new coke will be around forever, as well (just watch) because
it's cheaper.  If they got rid of it and charged, say, 20% more
for the "classic" stuff, they might STILL lose customers to Pepsi..
