A thought on the much-berated "Get Coke" number:

On a container of New Coke, it says that you can call 1-800-GET-COKE "for
consumer information". I recently noticed a similar notice on a can of
Hires Root Beer (a Canada Dry product). They had their own 800 number for
asking questions about Hires.

Are these consumer information number required by law or are they a "good
will" gesture on the part of the soft drink manufacturer?

Since it appears that "Get Coke" was not set up just for New Coke
complaints, what sort of questions can they handle? Can I ask such burning
questions as "How much caffeine is in non-'Caffeine-free' Coke?" or "What
is the sodium content of Tab?"
