Summary: 

[Eat THIS, you dirty little BASTARD!]

My, MY!  Coke is certainly getting a lot of PRESS since
they changed the formula.  Seems those Madison Avenue boys
aren't so stupid AFTER ALL.

"The NEW COKE" is a hot topic for discussion.  Berk Brethed
even did a "Bloom County" sequence on it this last sunday.
("YECH-O!")

A lot of people are rushing out to try it.  Even some Pepsi
drinkers are trying it.  They're selling a LOT of it, even
though people are bitching and screaming about it.  Some
guy in Seattle has even spent $30K of his own money launching
a campaign to bring back the old formula.  As soon as the
ROAR becomes loud enough, they'll go back to the old formula.

Then they'll sell a LOT of that stuff too.....
