My theory on this whole business is that to streamline manufacturing,
a formula for Coke and Diet Coke was devised that differed only in the
sweetener; i.e. Nutrasweet (TM) vs. sugar and corn syrup. They
probably couldn't use the old formula with the artificial sweetener
for some reason. 
BTW ---- Coca-cola has never been as good as when you got it in those
little (6 1/2 oz ?) green glass bottles with cork-lined caps! My mom
was addicted to the stuff.
