Strange...here in Ithaca (boondocks) we still have those gold top
cans that list sugar as the second ingredient. I haven't seen
Classic yet. And by now my taste buds are so confused I don't
know if these gold top cans that say sugar are old or new coke.
My boyfriend claims they are old coke. And they're still selling
it at the campus store...
