It was my understanding that Classic was outselling the New C(h)oke
by about 6 to 1; in the Southeast more like 10 to 1.  It was also
my understanding that some of the smaller bottling operations don't
even bother producing it anymore.  Apparently, though, it is selling
well enough that it is no longer losing money for the company, and
the recent Max Headroom ads on the tube indicate some interest on
their part to keep it around (damn).
