Would just like to point out that something cant be new and improved.
For something to be new, it means that there was nothing before it, while improved would mean that it is a better version of something already existing.

Edited by: Tippia on 03/08/2011 14:22:04 New [in our range of products] and improved [compared to the competitors' versions].
Simple.
Or, perhaps more commonly, new [variant of what we were already selling] and improved [in some way over what we offered before]. ùùù ôWe want to try this thing called micro-transactions, but we don't know what it is. Can anyone explainà aw screw it, let's just do it! What could go wrong?ö ù ÇÇP |

Yes, but the coke itself is not "new".
Also, I believe the egg came before the chicken....
