The vitamin section of my local SAV-ON (drugstore-emporium) has a lot of strange stuff. Cod liver oil and ipecac and ... Coca Cola Syrup. This last is NOT in the familiar Coke logo; it does not have a trademark. Then again, why would the manufacturer dare to use that title without Coke's consent? We're thinking of buying some, diluting it with carbonated water, and seeing how it tastes. (Or has anyone already tried this?) It also might be nice mixed in with home made ice cream. The real question is whether it uses the new or the old formula--and whether it resists aging any better than the tuff in bottles/cans. --Lee Gold

FYI: Coca Cola Syrup is a fairly effective anti-emetic and is (or at least used to be) prescribed occasionally for that purpose. I believe Coca Cola distributes it themselves as some sort of good-will gesture. Regards, Neal Weidenhofer "Blame it on the Rolling Denelcor, Inc. Stones" <hao|csu-cs|brl-bmd>!denelcor!neal

Unfortunately, the side effect is that cola drinks now always make me feel a little queasy due to Pavlov-esque association. I wonder if the CocaCola company realized that risk! I also wonder if the new formula is equally effective. Hey, maybe they'll keep using the old formula for the syrup and then you old-formula lovers can mix your own! -- Mike Urban {ucbvax|decvax}!trwrb!trwspp!spp2!urban "You're in a maze of twisty UUCP connections, all alike"

Take a close look at one of those red and white cans. On one side it says "Coke", but on the other it says "Coca Cola". (and there is nothing wrong with my spelling) Lee, do you recall who packaged that Coca Cola syrup? Dan Messinger ihnp4!umn-cs!digi-g!dan
