I jump up only to stretch my legs after sitting for 6 to 8 hours in the cramped seats

I cannot afford First Class nor even Business Class

That intrigued me so I ran is through ChatGPT, and here's what it threw back. I don't know the truth but what you said sounds far-fetched at best:

The statement from the chat room touches upon one of the conspiracy theories surrounding the New Coke debacle, but it's not substantiated by concrete evidence. Let's break it down:

  1. Temporary Introduction of New Coke: There's no verified evidence to suggest that The Coca-Cola Company introduced New Coke with the intention of it being temporary. The company invested heavily in its research, development, and marketing, which suggests they believed in the product change.
  2. Switching to HFCS: It's true that around the time of the New Coke introduction, many soft drink manufacturers in the U.S. were transitioning from cane sugar to high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) as a sweetener, mainly due to cost reasons. HFCS was less expensive than sugar, and its use could improve profit margins. However, to say that New Coke was a diversion specifically to mask this switch is speculative. While the timing is coincidental, there isn't concrete evidence to prove this was a deliberate strategy by the company.
  3. Taste of Coke with Sugar vs. HFCS: Many people do claim to taste a difference between Coca-Cola sweetened with cane sugar and Coca-Cola sweetened with HFCS. The presence of "Mexican Coke" in the U.S., which is sweetened with cane sugar, has been celebrated by some who prefer its taste over the standard American version with HFCS. However, taste is subjective, and not everyone might notice or care about the difference.
In conclusion, while the theory mentioned in the chat room is a popular one, it remains a theory. The official reasons given by The Coca-Cola Company for the introduction of New Coke were based on market research indicating a preference for a sweeter taste, as well as competitive pressures from rival Pepsi. The backlash to New Coke and the subsequent reintroduction of Coca-Cola Classic became one of the most notable stories in the history of brand marketing.

The thing I never got , even back then ,

it's probably obvious now days , every soda has like 17 versions out there now

But even back in the 80's I thought , why would you just simply drop your main soda , the best selling soda in the world , and bring out a copy of Pepsi , in a new COKE can

I could never figure out , why they just didn't keep the original , and come out with their new Coke at the same time , and just give it a different name , like COKE II or something ..........................lol
 
Yeah and I'm 6-2 and have been on 16 hour flights and still don't pop up the SECOND the plane stops but you don't seem to get it and that's OK. :eyeroll:

I stand up but don't get in the aisle - there is a difference
 
So, I’m at work deciding whether to get fast food after and I’m thinking maybe Carl’s Jr. I type that into my Safari browser to refresh my memory on what they have on the menu. What’s at the top of the page after my query? Wendy’s.
