Yes... the problem with these taste tests is that few people tasting the colas
seem to make an effort to SMELL the cola. Classic Coke smells different from
New Coke, and it smells very similar (if not identical) to the original Coke.
Pepsi also smells different.
It's well known that people can only taste 4 different flavors. On the
other hand, no such simple division of the sense of smell has yet been found.
People identify things by smell; "taste" per se is very misleading.
