I heard that Classic Coke still doesn't use the old formula, that the label
still says "corn syrup" (or words to that effect) instead of good ol'
American red-blooded Mom-and-apple-pie sugar.
I'm not a Coke drinker, but was just curious if anyone would verify this..

That's true. Classic just arrived in this area, and when I tried the first can, it didn't taste right, so I got out one of my carefully hoarded cans of *real* coke, and sure 'nuff, the real stuff has sugar and the new stuff has corn syrup. Does mean this whole mess was just a ploy to cheapen the formula? Now I'm REALLY pissed. RC *still* tastes more like coke than anything else available! -- Tw Cook {hplabs, hp-pcd, hpfcla}!hpisla!tw or twc@hplabs.CSNET (303) 667-5000x3724 HP Instrument Systems Lab, Loveland, CO
