It's not only Coca Cola that's changed.  Last week I went to the grocery
store to buy (among other things) Ovaltine*.  I like ovaltine, because it
contains various vitamins, in reasonable doses (45% of the RDA for most
of them).

However, I found that they had changed the bottle it came in to a paper can.
Further more, it said on the label "New, richer flavor."

Well, changing the taste is not so bad... but there is another change not
mentioned on the front label.  It now has about HALF the vitamins it formerly
had!  I guess, like the alleged coca leaves, the cost of the vitamins was
getting too expensive... so they changed the "taste" by reducing the vitamin
content.

*Ovaltine is a trademark of Sandoz pharmaceuticals.

PS - about Coca Cola*, by the way... about a week ago, the Orlando Sentinel
conducted a survey on Coca Cola flavor.  Of those surveyed, 90% said they
liked the old flavor better!  Several children interviewed had amusing
comments.  The best was "It tastes like nuclear waste."
