]enough in the new commercials proclaiming "...the new taste is the greatest.."

It always seemed to me that there are (or were) three faces of Bill Cosby:

	1) The Cosby Kid grown up- talking about Fat Albert and how mom
	   should buy you some Jello Pudding. ("Hmmm...")
	
	2) Bill Cosby, adult- spokesman for a leading soft dring manu-
	   facturer. ("The greatest Coke in the history of.... ever!")
	
	3) William H. Cosby Jr., Phd- with a doctorate in Child Psychology,
	   who better to extoll the educational merits of the Texas Instru-
	   ments Home Computer ("This is the one.")


I wonder... Could New Coke be considered the TI-99/4 of soft drinks?
