"New and improved." Probably the most evil phrase in retail. I cant count how many of my favorite food stuffs have been ruined by those accursed words

I miss "Vanilla Coke" which was sold locally for four years.

It is probably leftover stock from the original rollout.

It was just called Coke II here in the States, and while I was working at the grocery store we had cases of it still.

It became Coke II after Coke Classic was brought back.

Surprisingly, I never even had the New Coke -- by then I was already a Pepsi person.

I suppose they had to unload it somewhere, no?

According to a list I had awhile back, the phrase "new and improved" is sales codespeak for "it didn't work the first time" - but in this case, when I drank soda, the original Coke always was my preference in colas.

Sometimes I miss it. Sometimes I give in and enjoy one - but my quest to regain my "girlish figure" usually precludes such indulgences!

Coke is probably one of my worst vices. I drink a LOT of coke, especially lately with the 4 hour sleep shifting junk I did for my job.

After today, no longer an issue. :D

Pepsi (and New Coke) was WAAAAAY too sweet for me. I also perfer the "spicy" taste of Coke. And, in an example of my insanity, I like them room temperature. :D

My dad used to haul Pepsi from San Antonio to Houston back in the day. He drank Coke on the run. :D
