Summary: Coke was it


   I wonder if Coke's problem is competition with itself.  I have seen
simple charts showing Coke vs.  Pepsi, and Diet Coke vs. other diet
soft drinks.  Coke is slipping and Diet Coke is rocketing.  I wonder
how many people Coke lost to Diet Coke?  I know many people who hated
Tab and liked Coke and started drinking Diet Coke when it came out
because they finally found a diet soft drink they liked.  It tasted
like a good Coke.
