[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by M.W. Hemphill</i> <br /><br />Anti -- the changeover from sucrose to HFCS ramped up quickly, but it wasn't a wholesale change overnight. The break point in the graph is 1970, when 4 billion pounds of HFCS were shipped. From there, it went to 10 billion pounds in 1980, 20 billion pounds in 1990, and 25 billion pounds in 2000. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Having to think hard on this one,..I'm a "die hard" coke person,...wish I had some "period" coke containers, to refer to the listed contents. But you may have a point. <br /> <br />Thinking back, I seem to recall the "pre-new coke" containers listing "and/or HFCS" (a blend using HFCS as an "extender" for the more expensive sugar) with the transition fully away from sugar being in the introduction of "classic coke" <br /> <br />I lived in Atlanta at the time, where people tend to take their coke on an almost religious level, and there was considerable write up in the Atlanta Journal- Constitution about the events, as well as the prevailing outrage by fellow die hards as to why the claimed "original folmula" (as "classic" coke was touted ro be) didn't taste like The REAL Thing... <br /> <br />As you allude to, Coke products then made in Mexico were still using sugar at the time, and I was lucky enough to latch onto a few cases,....giving all the proof the die hards needed, you could taste "the real thing" blindfolded and tell the difference... <br /> <br />Any idea if Coke made in Mexico still uses sugar? or have they made the switch too, by now?
