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!
