The Wikipedia article on New Coke was interesting.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Coke

Things I learned today:

* Classic Coke was only off the market for 3 months

* New coke actually sold fairly well. If the article is accurate, the backlash against New Coke was way out of proportion to the sales of New Coke.

* The re-introduction of Coke Classic was such big news that prime time programming on ABC was interrupted with a Breaking News bulletin.

* New Coke was reintroduced in 1992 as Coke II. But was phased out by 2002.

All,

While New Coke is the obvious winner here, I think the McDLT deserves a mention.

I liked the MCDLT, I mean compared to other mcdonalds a slice of (semi)fresh tomato goes a long way.

While we're on the subject of crappy video game systems, does anyone remember the Turbo Grafx 16?

I don't know what the hell you are talking about, the Turbo Grafx 16 was a great system.

a few years back Jack in the Box tried a couple of concept restaurants called JBX. basically they just classed up a Jack in the Box with a similar menu, but fancier ingredients. like if you ordered a burger you'd get a full kaiser roll and nice thick beef patty. the decour of the places was pretty nice too - one had a fireplace. I really enjoyed my experience the one time I went. anyway, they're gone now.
