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.. SJB
