[net.misc.coke] The real reason for 'Classic Coke'

rick@sesame.UUCP (Rick Richardson) (07/19/85)

The real reason that Classic Coke is being brought back is that
some Cheese at Coca-Cola got burnt with 40 truckloads of Billy
Beer some years back, and decided to play a joke on all the
suckers that would go out and buy 40 truckloads of old Coke as
an investment.  It worked!  Thousands of people now have aging
cases of Coke in their basements, which they'll have to drink
before it will make sense to get the 'Classic Coke'.  While the
rest of us (and the Cheese at Coca-Cola) drink fresh 'Classic
Coke' and have a good laugh.
