When Coke Classic reappeared here, I bought a plastic bottle of it and "New"
Coke for a taste test.  (I wanted bottles but only found classic in cans
and plastic-- what is Classic about these?)

I had my wife pour a glassfull of each, identical glasses each with three
ice cubes.  I sat down, let them cool a couple of minutes and grabbed a
glass.  I took a sip and said, "No reason to taste the other, this is New
Coke".  I tasted the other, anyway, and it was as I had remembered it.
(BTW, I guessed correctly).

My 8 year old son claimed he liked New Coke best, so he took the taste test
too and prefered Classic.  Interestingly enough, neither my wife and 9 year 
old daughter could tell the difference!
