    New Coke wasn't so much a scheme to boost sales as it was to stop production so they could switch the formula over from sugar to high fructose corn syrup without people really noticing. Sugar was (and still is) much more expensive than HFCS which is why they wanted to switch. They couldn't do it immediately or else people would have been flooding them with complaints about the taste being off, so they concocted New Coke to allow some time for people to mostly not know straight away that something was off.
    If you have an international section in your grocery store, look there for imported Coke from Mexico in glass bottles. It is still made with sugar there and you can *absolutely* taste the difference between the two if you taste them side by side. The usage of HFCS in soft drinks has been directly linked to the obesity epidemic in the US so it's poisoning people while helping Coca Cola keep costs down. Vile.

    As a resident of Massachusetts and former worker in the great city of Boston I and likely many other in this area are extremely glad the Olympics will be somewhere else in 2024. Instead of spending all this money renovating a different city every time the olympics are held, why not just pick one city and stick with it? The money saved could be better used elsewhere.

    That train debacle in France reminds me of the IC4 and AnsaldoBreda debacle in Denmark... its quite a story.. from how one of the train sets ended up with Danish markings and turning up in the possesion of Gaddafi in Libya, to the danish rail carrier that was suppose to recieve them looking at the state of completion (which was nowhere near to the specification promised), vowing to try and fix the mistakes (and barely making them drivable) to the fact that they got slated to be phased out 10-20 years earlier than planned because of said mistakes.

      Nope, exactly wrong. It’s not owned by Caltech. It’s a federal facility administered by Caltech for NASA. NASA got it from the Army. Whether it’s considered “owned” by NASA is immaterial, it’s ultimately owned by the US government.

    $20,000,000 + $4,000,000 for Boston paying people to shuffle paper. That’s nothing compared to parking a Jaguar Discover Sport in Luton Airport. Just wait till the car is on fire, then drive in and leave it in flames while you board a plane. Cost about £83,000 for the Jag + £20,000,000 for the new car park + £115,000,000 for the loss if other vehicles + £621,500 lost for each day the airport was closed due to the fire.
