Cans of coke are subject to the same Truth in Advertising laws as all other
consumer goods.  If a can says sugar, it contains sugar.  Coke has changed
all the new Choke cans to say "Sugar and/or Corn Syrup" or notes to that
effect.  By doing so, the bottlers can now use whatever they like.

There are people in the world (I know two of them) that CANNOT consume 
corn products, including corn syrup.  If they had consumed a can of coke
which claimed to have sugar and didn't, they would have got REAL sick and
been able to sue Coke.  They never have and didn't.  The point is- You can't
say a product contains one thing and put in something else.

I don't like the taste of corn syrup coke, and I've been looking for
dusty old 16 oz bottles which contain sugar.  The last 8-pack I found tastes
like the garbage with corn syrup.  Looks like I'm back to RC also.
