I have been waiting and holding my breathing for any thing about the
new Coca-cola in this newsgroup.  You see I heard a rumor that the
reason Coca-cola switched their formula around was because they
wanted to reduce the amount of coca extract in their formula.  The
price of coca leaves used for the extract was getting to be too
expensive for the Coca-cola company.  Also since Pepsi does not use
any coca flavoring and Coca-cola now has less flavoring Coca-cola
not tastes a lot closer to Pepsi.  Now usually when I hear a rumor I
see it posted by someone else on Usenet a few days later.  I have
not seen any postings on this rumor at all.  Does this mean that
this rumor may be true?
