   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.
