I can't help but wonder why the sudden change in the Coke formula?
After all, the old style was not exactly putting them in the poor
house... 

And also, now that public opinion seems to be so against the change, there
is no indication that they are planning to pull the new one off/market the
old one as well that would be expected of a company that could have the 
capital to admit they made a mistake and compromise. Maybe the reason behind
the switch was not all business as it was hyped up to be. Unfortunately, I
have no information to back it up, but something just seems a little fishy
about Coca-Cola's business practice here.
