I tried a can of Classic Coke this morning.  The verdict is that the
formula is the same, however, corn syrup was used in making the drink,
instead of sugar which I was used to.  Indeed, the ingredients as listed
on the can are the same as for New Coke, but it does not mean that the
formula is the same -- there could be assorted different "natural
flavors" for example.  Despite the "fructose-y" taste of Classic Coke,
it is still a world better than the New C(h)oke.  A friend said that
in other parts of the country, corn syrup has been used in making Coke
for quite some time.  Is this true?  An old can of Coke from last year
clearly lists sugar as an ingredient.  If corn syrup is not used in
other places, is there any chance we can force the Coca-Cola company
to return to using it?  Are they just trying to deplete their stock of
corn syrup?  Or were they trying to get the Classic Coke out so fast
they had no sugar on hand?
