WTF? Would I switch from charmin to the new sandpaper brand that promises to give you an infection? No one can answer this question with any validity. It depends, would you switch to the 08' S? You don't know this but the 08' S is a ferrari or it maybe a yugo. It has to be done with some comparison. Maybe would you switch to a new product, if the product was one that you used often like toilet paper, if you heard it was better than what you typically use. Then the answer would typically lean towards yes but still some people won't give up Coke for brand X cola even if they heard it was better, at best they might try it, which is the best any product can hope for but to switch requires that the product actually proves to be a better product. If that is the case switching is nearly guaranteed so long as its price isn't an object.

It's hard to believe that you were all that upset when you cannot get either name correct: Nestle's Quik and Nesquik, respectively. No cs, and no capital Q in the new name.
Ok, I was exaggerating a bit. You get the idea though. I still buy it, but I prefer the older name.

I think you missed the point. Nothing but the name changed.
Many years ago, Fruitopia switched from glass bottles to the more commmon PET (plastic) bottles. The flavor Strawberry Passion Awareness changed along with it, but there was NO indication of it (except for tasted of course).
I asked restaurants that carried it for the older glass bottles, they would say, "It's the same flavor sir, only the packaging has changed". Well...
It took me about three months to realize that the new Peachberry Quencher, has the same flavor as the old Strawberry Passion Awareness.
Sometimes the product will change, even though it's not advertised.
