I just got a letter from CC.  It was apparently in response to my
original complaints to them over a month ago about New Coke.  Given
recent events, it's quite amusing.  It contains a Q&A folder and
insert promoting the New Coke, describing how the New Coke was
created (market tests, taste tests, etc.) and why the Old Coke
was being discontinued.  It was all obviously prepared well before
the Classic Coke announcement.  Might be something of a collector's
item.

They also included a coupon good for a free 6 or 8 can pack of
Coke.  It didn't seem clear whether it could be used for Classic
instead of New, so I called up Coke to ask.  They claim that
officially it's only good for the New Coke--though they admit
that some "dippy" checkout people may not realize the difference.
