I eat food if it doesn't smell bad first, and if it looks ok, not because Waiter X offers it as the special of the day. The only thing special about it is today's price for it, or it is only available today.Likewise in regards to these samples, show me the data, and I will ascertain for myself what the results are, if the samples are decent ones, etc.I know, as well everyone I knew at the time, thought New Coke tasted like crap.Scientists can claim all day that X happens via their data, but unless they show that data, they are just ignored, likewise these so-called claims of proof without data should similarly be ignored, because you can find and pay someone to say anything for you as your "proof".I say both failed in doing proper research, but the case still remains; you do NOT try to force a change on your consumer.From what you are arguing about New Coke's failure it was because they tried to force a change, so obviously you have provided proof for my argument there, as any level of "working to get people to embrace change" is proven by your New Coke example as a failure.So you are right about New Coke, which means I am right about never trying to force changes onto your customers?orYou are right about forcing changes, and I am right about New Coke?You don't get your cake and get to eat it too.So we will have to be fragmented on the issue it seems, such as happens with anything that allows for subjective tastes of individuals. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
