When Coke Classic reappeared here, I bought a plastic bottle of it and "New" Coke for a taste test. (I wanted bottles but only found classic in cans and plastic-- what is Classic about these?) I had my wife pour a glassfull of each, identical glasses each with three ice cubes. I sat down, let them cool a couple of minutes and grabbed a glass. I took a sip and said, "No reason to taste the other, this is New Coke". I tasted the other, anyway, and it was as I had remembered it. (BTW, I guessed correctly). My 8 year old son claimed he liked New Coke best, so he took the taste test too and prefered Classic. Interestingly enough, neither my wife and 9 year old daughter could tell the difference!
