It is my assertion that this sentence: "Though New Coke was accepted by many Coca-Cola drinkers, many more resented the change, as had happened in the focus groups. Many critics were from the southern US states, some of whom considered Coca-Cola part of their regional identity; some viewed the change through the prism of the Civil War as a surrender to the "Yankees".[10]:149–151" be stricken from the article as it is subjective and only contains the opinion of an individual. This sentence is not germane to the article and attempts to paint a region of the country as bigoted and/or racist.

Additionally, since the Coca Cola company has it's corporate offices in Atlanta, GA (and everyone in the South knows that) and the principal stockholder of the Coca Cola company (at that time) was the WC Bradley Company in Columbus, GA, it defies logic to think that the "Yankees" have anything to do with the new formula of the soft drink. Where are the mythical "Yankees" coming from? Are they housed in the nonexistent corporate offices in New York or Boston or Philadelphia?
