I don't remember if it ever attained just Coke status, because it was so long ago. It got rid of that acidic bite that regular Coke has, which is specifically the reason that I prefer Coke over Pepsi. It seemed, at the time, that I wasn't alone in that.Do I have it right that for 77 days it was just "Coke" since the previous Coke didn't exist any more?
Anyway, Wikipedia has some stuff on the initial success (that I didn't recall) and then the bakclash (which I did), and then the effect of the competitions moves, and its final fall, and then return.

For the return anyway, it notes:
"Food & Wine staffers also had favorable impressions: "sweeter and smoother than regular Coke", "almost syrupy in a pleasant way", although an older one who recalled the original rollout said it had not improved for them."
