I'm glad someone mentioned Cherry Coke.  I do want to point out that Cherry
Coke is currently only being test marketed -- it is not available all over
the country/world.  Atlanta, Denver, somewhere-in-Connecticut, and some towns
in North and South Carolina (maybe a few others) are the test markets.

An article in the Atlanta paper a couple of weeks back noted that in the test
markets, Cherry Coke was getting about 2% to 8% of the soft drink markets in
the test areas, and cutting heavily into the market for regular Coke!

Personally, I agree that it is closest to the old Coke, and I really like it.
They seem to have added more cherry than they had initially, which it
needed.

Anyway, if you can get Cherry Coke, enjoy it.  If not, call up the Coke
number and ask when it will be available in your area (1-800-GET-COKE).

How come nobody likes good ideas when they don't come up with them?
