This is a marketing classic. Coke had heavily tested consumer preferences, and concluded that the majority preferred the new formulation; what they had not fully assessed, is: by how much? Those who liked the new Coke, liked it somewhat more; those who disliked the new Coke, hated it. Essentially, Coke's market research gave them the right answer to the wrong question.

Some metals and many stones aren't very hard at all. On the Mohs scale, where diamond is 10, talc is 1, graphite (pencil "lead") is 0.5-1. Sodium metal at 0.4 is so soft that you can cut it with a spoon; there are plenty of woods you can't do that to.

During the siege of Paris following the collapse of Napoleon III 's rule, starving people ate the animals from the zoo. Elephant meat was found to be particularly disgusting,. There have been an unfortunate number of rhino assassinations, but in no case has there been evidence of a poacher carving out some meat for the dinner table.
