"LCer09" wrote in message ... On the other hand, if it is a flop, it would not be the first time the cola industry has launched an unsuccessful product to much hype and fanfare (remember New Coke?). New Coke was not a failure. It was an absolute success in all ways. WHAT.... are you saying that Carmen was wrong? Dang!

"Jenny" wrote in message ... I'd like to meet the genius who came up with the Dunkin Donut's "low carb" bagel and croissant. On their web site, they're called "lower carb" but in my local store they are labeled "low carb" with no counts available. The prize goes to a little local deli by me. Despite my trying to educate the guy over the years, his first helpful product is his "Low Fat and Low Carb muffins". He doesn't want to take a cance and miss anyone. -- JK Sinrod Sinrod Stained Glass Studios www.sinrodstudios.com Coney Island Memories www.sinrodstudios.com/coneymemories

It was an absolute success in all ways. Okay, since I was the one who said it was a flop, I'll bite. Can you explain this? The only postulate I can think of is that New Coke was a marketing scheme by Coca-Cola to generate interest in its "Classic" product thereby boosting sales. If that were the case, I guess I'd like to see a rundown of the cost and sales numbers to determine whether it worked. At any rate, I'd like to hear more about what you mean. -- carla http://geekofalltrades.typepad.com/geek

Another theory I've heard was that this was used as a cover when they switched over to using HFCS instead of sugar as a sweetener. People (it is said) had their taste buds confused by trying the new coke and so when they went back to the coke classic they didn't realize that it tasted different.

I don't have a rundown, but it was pretty obvious. They got huge amounts of publicity over it, got to call their product "classic" and have kept the #1 spot in the market ever since.
