Coke changed the formula, everyone hated it, and then Coke said [#oops] and supposedly reinvented their drink and called it Classic Coke (you know? the kind of Coke everyone knew and enjoyed before?) That was the biggest marketing ploy of all time that, if it hasn't been topped, certainly was unique. Bet'cha didn't see that one coming? [:-^] <br /> <br />(hehehe [;)]) <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />And even then it was all a ploy, to get folks pallate to forget the original formula with 100% cane sugar, so it could be replaced with the cheaper "High fructose corn syrup" with minimal objection. <br /> <br />"New coke" was made to taste like pepsi expressely to make people go Yeccch! during the transition phase, and hopefully make the taste trip back to the "almost" original Coke a desired one. I can taste the corn in the new product and feel mega betrayed, ultimately switching to Dr Pepper after 40 years as a devoute coke drinker
