Had a couple bottle stash of the real Coke. Coke Classic rolled into
Indianapolis this weekend. Taste tested with three avid real Coke drinkers
the old bottles versus the Classic.

All three of us noted a slight difference between Classic and the bottles. The
difference was minor as the bottles were four or five months old versus Coke
in cans.

The conclusion is that Classic is close enough. As I pour my glass of Classic
and get five inches of foam versus one inch of liquid, my favorite soda is
back.

Coke clothes also rolled into Indianapolis two weeks ago. A Indianapolis-Ohio
department chain (Lazarus) is carrying the clothes. The clothes look okay
but the prices were *high*.

An interesting story about the clothes appeared in the Wall Street Journal
Aug 2 (I believe). Coke contracts with a clothes maker for the clothes. The
clothes maker subcontracts with Far East suppliers. A union manufacturer in
the southern states have yanked their Coke machine out becuase the clothes
are not USA made. Oh, well.
