“[New Coke] was done in by a complicated web of interests, a mixture of
cranks and opportunists—a sugar-starved mob of pitchfork-clutching Andy
Rooneys, powered by the thrill of rebellion and an aggrieved sense of
dispossession.”

Great story illustrating how things are so often more complicated than
they appear on the surface.

Via Esther Schindler.
