Pay attention here to the stuff up above. A statement was made that
implied advertising could sell anything, and I provided a
counterexample. And since you mentioned Coke, do you remember "New
Coke"? Come to think of it, you also mentioned McDonalds; do you
remember McRibs (they keep trying to bring them back making me guess
that they have a frozen food warehouse somewhere they'd like to
liquidate).
