Jim Bell's comments:
I discovered Coke Zero a few years ago.  It's a reasonably good copy of Coke.  I had to change, I was diagnosed as Type 2 diabetic 18 years ago.  

I remember when they announced "New Coke" in 1985.  Alone, that wasn't a threat.  The threat was that they were intending to CANCEL old-Coke.  I seriously considered renting a storage unit and buying a lifetime supply of old-Coke.  Never actually did that, because I couldn't imagine how they could be so flaming STUPID as to force everyone onto a newer (and worse) product.  
Turns out I was right.
But I also discovered, within the last few years, that cans of pop are NOT hermetically-sealed:  They WILL lose their carbonation after a couple years, at least some of them.
