Soft Drinks: No Longer Serving Boos
What goes better with a Big Mac? Apparently Classic Coke. Only a year after Coca- Cola introduced the new, sweeter version of its formula to a chorus of consumer boos, McDonald's announced last week that it is joining the growing list of restaurants, including Hardee's, Roy Rogers and Kentucky Fried Chicken, that are switching back to the older version of the soft drink. The changeover at McDonald's will be completed by the end of the month. Said Spokesman Robert Keyser: "We want to offer our customers what they prefer." According to the most recent national sales data, that is Classic Coke over the sweeter stuff by 4 to 1.
