I heard the reason COKE changed its flavor was because they
wanted to use corn syrup as a sweetener, instead of cane sugar(which
is more expensive). Now I can't get any of the old COKE to compare
the ingredients against the new COKE. So will someone in net.land
who has access to the blessed old COKE compare and let me know?
Here are the ingredients to the new (YUK!) COKE:
Carbonated Water, High Fructose corn syrup and/or sucrose, Caramel
color, Phosphoric acid, Natural flavors, Caffeine.
by the way what does 'and/or' mean in this context. Do they
change ingredients according to their mood?
Also I move we FLAME the guy who made this disasterous decision,
but let's use real flames!
