Ok, time to end the complaining...

According to 1-800-GET-COKE, local bottlers have been permitted to
substitute corn syrup for sugar in COKE since 1980.  When Classic Coke
was marketed, it finally gave them a chance to correct (or "redefine")
the ingredients label.

So nothing has changed.  If your old coke tastes different, chalk it up to
degridation in your cans or plastic bottles.  As soon as I can get a bottle
(glass!) of "Classic" coke, I will compare it to "Old" coke, and I
expect it to be the same.

	Will Coke that has been saved really degrade?  It hasn't 
been that long since they stopped making the stuff.  I don't think
that it could deteriorate that fast.
	Coke Classic just tastes different!  For whatever reasons,
it does not taste like the old stuff that I have compared it to.
Maybe they actually burned the old formula and Coke Classic is just
what they could managed to whip up from memory.  It doesn't taste
the same, though.
