A Frosty Reception for Coca-Cola's White Christmas Cans

[JonasSalk]

It'll hit you around 28.

So it's like marriage.

Shit.

[Ideologue]

As for soda with meals, I do that maybe once a month on average. If you're quaffing litres of the stuff on a daily basis that's your business, but expect to get fat if you're not already.

Doubtful.

Wikipedia has this on that notion:

Coke considered but rejected gradually changing the drink's flavor incrementally, without announcing that they were doing so. Executives feared that the public would notice and exaggerate slight differences in taste. In 1998, Joel Dubow, a professor of food marketing at St. Joseph's University, tested this "flavor balance hypothesis" and argued that it was not true. He and fellow researcher Nancy Childs tested mixtures of classic Coke and Coca-Cola II and found that the gradual changes of taste were not noticed by a significant number of tasters. Coke, he said, would have succeeded had it chosen this strategy

That's a description of a rejected strategy for the original rollout of New Coke.  I was talking about after they had shelved New Coke.

[Ideologue]

And contrails have chemicals in them that turns you gay.

Shit.

Don't worry, I don't think Cynthia McKinney is going to accept any proposals by you.

Do you have proof of this?

[Admiral Yi]

Do you have proof of this?

I have copies of internal Coca Cola memos but I can't show them to you.

[Valmy]

Ok but why would Coke want to change its formula?

To make more money.

Oh, I know. That's okay for me, see, I can get other women, whereas you are likely stuck with nothing or something like her. Have a great life.

I find that coke is a poor choice to pair with food, unless the food you're eating is low grade junk.

I don't.

Corn syrup is cheaper than cane sugar.  Or what Yi said.

But they were using corn syrup in the US before New Coke. Again according to wikipedia.
