The other day I had the occasion to start drinking a cold Coke Classic,
and then finish it 5 hours later, warm.  To my surprise, when warm, it
tasted like New Coke.  This seems to imply that the difference between
the two is a flavor in Coke Classic that comes out only when it is cold.

Does anyone have any old Coke around?  Did it have the same property?

This doesn't surprise me.  Since New Coke is flat, I would expect any
cola, be it Coke Classic, Old Coke, or Pepsi, to taste like New Coke
after 5 hours when all the carbonation is gone.
