Rather than me type out the 'New Coke' story - of which I only know a fraction of it - here is the Wikipedia collection of opinion and facts on the topic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_coke

Bottom Line: Coca-Cola decided to 'mess with success' and had a huge flop.

Garth decided to ditch his friends in low places and all of a sudden go alt-rock. Big mistake.



Interesting story - thanks for that insight. Since New Coke was never introduced into the UK, of course I had never heard about it. However, that is not as bad as the story about Pepsi who, allegedly, introduced their slogan into the Chinese market "Come alive with the Pepsi Generation" translated into Chinese it read "Pepsi brings your ancestors back from the grave". No wonder the Chinese wouldn't touch it!

Personally, I only very rarely drink carbonated soft drinks
