(in the last 2 weeks anyway) Many years ago, soon after Coca-Cola (it wasn't even called Coke then) started appearing in cans, I read that they used a different formula for the canned variety than the bottled variety. Later, after it started appearing in plastic bottles, I heard that they used yet another formula for those. The reason given was various reactions with the material of the alternative containers. This was so long ago that I cannot remember the reference. Also it was in England. I have always preferred coke from glass over all the other packaging forms. -- From the TARDIS of Mark Callow msc@saber.UUCP, sun!saber!msc@decwrl.ARPA ...{decwrl,ucbvax}!sun!saber!msc, ...{amdcad,ihnp4}!saber!msc
