Almost 80 days later, the public having sampled it, the company pulled the product from stores.

Will couldn't even get the facts on "new" Coke right. Coke Classic was reintroduced, but "New" Coke was still on the store shelves, had ads featuring Max Headroom promoting it. New Coke was drunk by the the president of Coca-Cola, Roberto Goizueta, until the day he died. Eventually it was rechristened "Coke II". It is still sold in parts of Quebec. It took many years for new Coke to disappear outright.

"New Coke" was a scheme to distract from their switching from sugar to high fructose corn syrup.... that's according to who ever the heck wrote this anyway.
