Well, I can only speak for myself, but frankly I think that Coke has made a
*BIG* mistake in changing the recipe. I tried the new stuff (deliberate
word choice) when it infected the machine in our computer center. The flavor
reminded me of the time that I had been working with dry Portland cement and
tried to wash the dust out of my mouth with a Pepsi. (Being an Atlanta area
native, Pepsi used to be my last resort amongst soft drinks... :-) )

To me, the new "Coke" is slightly sweeter (the old Coke was almost TOO sweet
for me anyway!) and has an unpleasantly lime-ish (the stone, not the citrus
fruit) taste. Oh well, at least the recipe change has shortened my grocery
list... :-)



(Hmmm, I suppose that my .signature doesn't really fit this message...)
