I myself drink Coke, fully leaded, not Pepsi precisely <b>because</b> I prefer the taste. If I wanted Pepsi, I'd buy actual Pepsi. I never sent any letters or said anything to anyone other than my friends. If it was only 12% of us, they could never have justified moving back to "classic." My guess is it was more like 80% preferred "classic" to "new." Certainly if it had been anywhere near a 50-50 split they would have maintained both production lines. And that has implications for the GOP too. As in sooner or later you need to meet the demand of your consumers or you are finished as a successful brand. was the estimated size of the vocal minority.

In Mexico, PV anyway, it's still the glass bottle and the wooden crates in lots of places. And I still can't much bring myself to drink it, or anything else, out of the can. but then I hark back buying the small bottle, the only size then, for a nickel out of the top-opening box filled with ice water.

Now I drink a small brand cola made with zero sodium, and sweetened with cane sugar, but not as much sugar as either coke or pepsi.

Moved back to Louisiana, and whaddya know: Mexican Cokes are being stocked in stores all over the place. I don't know if they've gotten national distribution or if I just got extremely lucky, but I continue to enjoy my original, unadulterated Coca-Cola on a regular basis. As for the Switcheroo theory, I've never been sure whether to believe it or not but it wouldn't surprise me at all. (Apologies for the semi-threadjack but the stuff is just so damned good!)

She identifies herself in the call. Hendrie has a political/satire/comedy talk radio show. I've listened to him for many years and think he would have said it was a joke if that were the case. She says that Owens will best continue McHugh's work. (He went to work for Obama). This robocall should be sent in a continuous loop to Gingrich, Sessions, et al. Just more evidence of their complete failure.. On his radio show Phil Hendrie just played a tape of her robocall for Bill Owens. She identifies herself in the call.

You can buy Coke made with the Cane Sugar during Jewish High Holidays as it's Kosher and the mix with corn syrup isn't. I usually buy some of that Coke during the holidays, pricey but it Rox! And glass bottles are the best tasting...... And I am living proof you can survive on Coke.....I am a Coke-A-Holic. If you are talking about the switch from Cane Sugar to Corn Syrup than it’s true.
