 I think this belongs here, rather than .rumor because of the central topic.
Rumor has reached me from a secret source inside Southland Corp. (the guys
who own the 7-11 franchised store chain) that no longer will the 'New Coke'
be available at 7-11 stores. Coca Cola Classic will be there in it's place!
 My source tells me that the most visible evidence of this is the fact that
the 7-11's are selling 'New Coke' off at just $0.99 per 2-litre bottle, while
still charging $1.60 for a like-sized bottle of Pepsi Cola. Hmmmmm...
