Give net.misc.coke some time.  Things are starting to flame up
again.

     PROTESTS?!? How 'bout the FULL PAGE ad in the L.A. Times? From the
National "Real" Sugar People? It was a while ago, but the jist of
the article was on the order: "In 19xx, Coca-Cola used real sugar.
How can they bring back "Classic Coke" without pure sugar?"
Something like that. It went on to expound the virtues of cane
sugar, etc.

     There are also smaller protests, on the order of individuals... 
Do you walk by "New Coke" without thinking something negative?  That's
the kind of protest that works.  Negative thought has never sold
anything.

     Does Coke have a VAX on the net? Hmm.. I have a little shell
script that could do some damage...
