They did a blind tasting and the results were ambiguous but not encouraging for the new Coke. This morning's paper carried an AP wire story saying that Coke admits it's getting huge amounts of negative flack, but the president of Coke claims a lot of the callers are accepting free coupons for the new stuff. I suggest you call 800-GET-COKE and when they offer you a coupon ask if it can be used to buy Pepsi or RC or Dr Pecker... -- D Gary Grady Duke U Comp Center, Durham, NC 27706 (919) 684-3695 USENET: {seismo,decvax,ihnp4,akgua,etc.}!mcnc!ecsvax!dgary
