Okay.

Next they’ll take out the peanut butter and sell us just chocolate. That Harris in Marketing is a genius I tells ya.

the company's junior executives have to keep coming up with ways of justifying their salary and benefits packages.

"Hey, I've got a great idea! Let's change everything about our product that people like!"

That's why I've never been impressed with the MBA. It doesn't seem to require talent, intellect, or even hard work to obtain...

Right after New Coke came out, Pepsi headquarters bought a case of it for "market research" and had a little problem: the executives at Pepsi liked it better than they liked their own product. They realized just how fucked they were if they didn't do something about it right now...so they created an astroturf organization, the Old Cola Drinkers of America, to convince people New Coke was bad (I liked it a lot) and to get them to demand Coke bring back the old formula.

Oh...the guy who was placed in charge of Old Cola Drinkers of America? Coke had him do two taste tests comparing old and new Cokes. In one, he couldn't tell the difference between the two drinks. In the other, he liked New Coke better.

It'll be just the packaging with an empty cup and a spritz of chocolate/peanut butter-ish bouquet.

An inside out Reese's!

Without the chocolate, Reese's is not worth it.
