I removed: this article needs dates - when the new product was withdrawn. from the article. --cprompt 23:41, 5 Jan 2004 (UTC)
- It appears that Coke II may still be being sold. Can anyone confirm this? Rmhermen 00:01, Jan 6, 2004 (UTC)
- I was actually arguing with my brother about this. He said he recently had New Coke, but I told him that New Coke hasn't been available since before he was born. Coca-Cola's web site (http://www.coke.com) doesn't have any information about a New Coke or Coke II.

I have heard that the Coke --> New Coke --> Coke Classic was a massive stunt designed to conceal the switch from sugar to the much cheaper, slightly less tasty corn syrup. Anyone know the truth of this?
- Nothing at Snopes.com, and they've got everything! Although, there's some interesting stuff about Coca-Cola in there.

I called coca cola probably back in 1999 and the person said they still sold it in the northeastern USA thanks for adding the pictures of the different cans of coke 2
A minor mess
This article is in a bit of a state. Information shouldn't be presented in one-line paragraphs, and I believe the article should be rearranged so that the facts appear more chronologically. Hopefully someone with more energy than I could attack this. mat_x 18:44, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
ok; took a crack at it. Bbpen 20:08, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
=should the title be change?
if it is now Coke II should the article be moved? I know most people would probably still call it New Coke but apparently that name has not been used for 15 yearsSmith03 16:00, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Question
I heard somehwere that New Coke actually got better ratings in taste tests than Coca-Cola Classic did, which was why the company did the switch. Can anyone confirm this? And if this is true, should it be put in the article? Mred64 03:32, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)
- True. Their website (linked at the bottom of the article) gave a figure of 200,000 people in the taste tests who prefered New Coke to old. - Lifefeed 13:46, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)
