According to their >marketing representative, who was interviewed recently in the local >newspaper, Coke only counts the call as being negative if the person won't >take the coupons. > That is scary. Because I called, telling them that I abhor the new Coke, and refuse to buy it in the future. They said OK, thanks for letting us know, and took my address and phone number. They said nothing about sending me coupons. Now I wonder--will they send me coupons without asking and credit me with a positive response? If I get some, I will of course return them with a written comment. By the way, I would like to boycott all Coke products. Surely some of those are hard to identify. (I was boycotting all Hunt-Wesson stuff many years ago because of dear, sweet, old H.L. Hunt. I was always finding strange things that they made--often with no indication on the package.) How does one find out such things about a large conglomerate? Also, have you seen the latest Bill Cosby ads for New Coke? In it, he talks about how he always liked the taste of Coke, but now thinks the new stuff is the best Coke ever. It appears that now Coke is resorting to an appeal to the "lost lambs". -- Name: John Ruschmeyer US Mail: Monmouth College, W.

Sorry about my last posting about the new coke. I inadvertently
left part of another posting in the file I sent to the net. Only
the first 3 paragraphs or so are mine. This is about the 7th
really stupid thing I've done today--maybe it's time to go home
and go to bed (at lunchtime!)
By the way, on the same subject, I noticed an add by a local
fast food place (Wendy's, I think) that they were giving free new
Coke with orders. Maybe someone is desperate?
