Think about it. To set up a marketing strategy for the old (new??) stuff, plans needed to be put into place weeks or even moths ago, especially in a company as old and large as Coca-Cola. I think the phone # was a ploy. I think having the new coke taste more like Pepsi was a ploy to steal Pepsi customers away. Big deal if I sound like I'm tooting my own horn for thinking of this awhile back. I'm not employed by Coke so I get nothing out of it, so I can't be THAT smart! :-) -- --steve kramer {allegra,genrad,ihnp4,utzoo,philabs,uw-beaver}!linus!axiom!smk (UUCP) linus!axiom!smk@mitre-bedford (MIL)
