Wow, now that's some clever marketing-speak.

Yeah! LOL we'll do what ever it takes ! To **** y'all off.

I'll bet that the new ones are cheaper. They changed to increase profit.

They seem to have found out that you get what you pay for.

Reminds me of the Coca Cola snafu ... new Coke (yuk) vs Coke
Classic. "New and improved" usually means that someone forgot the
old mantra: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

OTOH, if you don't make it better, someone else will.

Coke had the right idea but its implementation was horrible. They
do the same thing now, constantly. How many "brands" of Coke do you
think there are?

Word is their sales on regular old Coke skyrocketed due to all the
publicity over the failed ad campaign. So maybe it wasn't such a failure
after all. :-)
