I managed to conduct a similar test this August while returning from Taiwan.
The materials:  (1) can Coke, canned in Taiwan.  (upon arriving in June, I
was overjoyed to discover shelves of Old Coke and promptly o.d.'d on them for
2 weeks);  (1) can Coke Classic, courtesy Northwest Orient Airlines.  Both
quaffed straight from the can, as well as on ice.  Results?
1) Classic seemed flatter, and fizzed more from the can.  Maybe carbonation
   levels are different overseas?  But I don't remember ever splatting fizz
   from an unshaken can of Coke.  Only a precise spray pattern over the finger
   pulling the top.  BTW, Taiwanese Coke cans use fully detachable pull tabs,
   and not the clever lever-action ones.
2) Classic lacked the smell of Old Coke.  A 5 Coke a day diet will tell you.
3) (very subjective) I can no longer drink Coke (classic) continuously.  
   Perhaps this is because I know what it is, but on first taste, I suspected
   there was something wrong with it.  Anybody know what?
