Now hold on just a minute! I protest this poll on the grounds of unfair
distribution. I just heard an apology from the mighty coke gods on the
radio yesterday, they said that they were sorry for not being able to 
distribute their new coke to everyone at once. I haven't tried it yet,
and it isn't overflowing on any of our local grocery store shelves, either.
    Now, seeing how I'm a true addict (2 to 3 cokes before noon usually)
and coke themselves admit to problems in getting this alledged "new ocke"(see
quote above[this reminds me of bill the cat's famous "aackk-k"])on the 
market, I feel it's a little premature for a poll. 
    Meanwhile, those of you who are presently hunting for a comparable
radiator fluid substitute could do some on-the-net taste tests to see
if there could be any substitute for that great "carbonated-comet" taste.
    Gotta go, it's time for my too-late-for-breakfast-too-early-for-a-snack-
mid-late-morning-eye-opening-gut-wrenching-tapeworm-killing coke break.
