I read in a newspaper here in Seattle that Coke *is* different outside the USA,
specifically that Mexico and Australia are still selling the old formula and
don't plan to get the new formula for a couple years or so.

Apparently, some people up here (probably Gay Mullins - Old Coke Drinkers) were
planning to import the stuff.  Of course, there is no need for that anymore.

I've had Coca-Cola in Mexico and Brazil and noticed no difference from the
formula they used to sell here.
