For all of you out in netland who are as offended as I am
at the New Coke and don't like the way it tastes, I have 
an alternative to suggest.  Surprisingly enough, Shasta
Cola tastes much more like the Real Coke than New Coke.
It is not the same, of course, but it is not as sickeningly
sweet as New Coke, and it definitely does NOT taste like
Pepsi.  It's worth a try to see if you like it.  I am
switching to it, and I was a VERY large consumer of Real
Coke.

Maybe if the Coke Company loses enough of its previous
customers, it will come to its senses.
