Summary: Would you *really* like it?

A lot of space on this net has been devoted to the relative merits of New
versus Old Coke and which one the author of the article prefers. The bottom
line is that of those people with a preference, most prefer and would
rather see the re-production of Old Coke.

A philosophical observation, however:

With human nature the way it is, would these same people really like a
"New" Old Coke wer one to be produced? Would it really matter if the
Coca-Cola Company were to go back to the old formula or would everyone just
say that it's another "New" Coke and not as good as the "Old" Old Coke?

It is said that you can't go home again. If this is true then it really
doesn't matter what formula Coke uses- someone will always say it's just
not the same.
