I heard that Classic Coke still doesn't use the old formula, that the label
still says "corn syrup" (or words to that effect) instead of good ol'
American red-blooded Mom-and-apple-pie sugar.

I'm not a Coke drinker, but was just curious if anyone would verify this..

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!

Arghh, yes.  Ingredients from the Coke Classic in my hand:

CARBONATED  WATER,  HIGH-FRUCTOSE  CORN SYRUP AND / OR SUCROSE,  CARAMEL
COLOR, PHOSPHORIC ACID, NATURAL FLAVORS, CAFFEINE.

It still gives the ol' throat burn,  however.  Does anybody have a stash
of the old stuff  that can  compare  taste  with the  Classic?  Are they
really the same?  Can the taste  buds  discern  the  difference  between
fructose, sucrose, and glucose?

  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...
