I called the 1-800-GET-COKE number and registered a strong No vote, stating that I was now drinking Pepsi and would do so until Old Coke came back. They gave me the usual opportunity to accept a free coupon. I turned it down and started asking questions about the rumors I'd read on the Net: If I had accepted the coupon, would my "vote" be counted differently than if I rejected it? The woman who talked to me was totally unflustered and calmly stated that there was no difference, each vote would be considered without regard to the destiny of the coupon. I'm not sure I totally believe her (not that she was lying; she just may not have the full story). She mentioned that the "data card" would be marked as to whether I wanted a coupon or not, and that Marketing people get the card... I mentioned I had read the rumors on an "nationwide electronic bulletin board," but she didn't react at all. Apparently, Coca-Cola has decided to be mellow with regard to these rumor campaigns that USENET readers have started...
