I somehow got invited into the Pinecone Research Group and get $5 to do survey's every once in awhile and they asked me a bunch of questions about a new 'cola drink' and gave me five bucks, then asked me to try it if they sent it to me and gave me another five bucks - it was clearly marked as a new coke product, but with a different name than C2 but same silverish background to the red, and then paid me another five bucks to send back the plastic wrappers from the empty bottles. I'm a serious coke drinker and I thouht it tasted quite good for 1/2 the carbs and 1/2 the calories... It was about 92% as good as regular coke. ;-)
Coke wrote me a thank you letter saying it was largely based on my feedback that they went ahead to mass produce and market this product.

p.s. I made up that last part.
