I just heard an interview (on CFRB radio) with the president
of Coca-Cola Canada Ltd. The Canadian company has not decided
yet whether to offer the old Coke alongside the new Coke.
The have set up a toll-free number, which goes into operation
at 9 a.m. (EDT?) tomorrow, July 12. They will take calls for
three weeks and then decide what to do.
The number is:
1-900-720-0050
If you want the old Coke back (as I do), call!

Just a little note (picky I'm sure, but it may prevent some people
from accidentally putting charges onto somebody else's phone):
"900" numbers are NOT toll-free.
Ma Bell charges you 50 cents per call. (I found that out when they
were using 900 numbers for polls during the Ontario Conservative Leadership
Convention)

It is my understanding that 900 numbers cost $0.50 a shot.

This morning, CKO was saying that COKE had worked out some arrangement
with Bell so that there would be no charge to callers of the COKE 900
number.
