[net.misc.coke] More than sugar vs. corn surup

There was an article in WSJ about Madagascar cheering the return of 
the Real Thing.  Aparently original Coke used a sizable percentage of the
world's production of vanilla beans.  New Coke contanins artifical vanilla.
(Of course, the formulas are secret, this is just a guess.).  So cheaper
sweetener is just part of the reason that the Coca Cola Company would want
to push new Coke.
