ROCK AND ROLL, THE COLA WARS:  It's the 30th anniversary of the launch of New Coke.  Maybe the commercials should've been the first sign of the fall of a pop culture icon.

    I think we all know now that when Bill Cosby tells you to drink something, DON'T.

    I had a professor who did consumer polling/testing. Sometimes he'd tell us stories. One was about New Coke. When they (blind) product tested it, people overwhelmingly preferred it to the original. When they told them it was a new recipe, they said it wasn't as good. They told Coke this and they shrugged.

    For the longest time I thought that line was "Rock and roller color wars," which to be honest still sounds way more interesting.
