Something is confusing me: When Coca-Cola Classic hit the shelves, everybody (including me) complained that it wasn't really Old Coke since Old Coke's ingredient list listed "sugar" while Classic's list mentioned "high fructose corn syrup and/or sucrose". Now, a number of people have come out and sid that since 1980 or thereabouts, Old Coke had corn syrup in it. How can this be? Shouldn't it have said so on the label? If corn syrup were being used and the label only listed sugar, wouldn't this be violating some law or FTC rule or something?? [Forgive my cross-posting this to net.legal; I figured someone there might be familiar with the laws concerning ingredient lists.] -- Name: John Ruschmeyer US Mail: Monmouth College, W.
