Originally Coke used sugar, but over the past 10 years or so they've phased
in fructose whenever it was cheaper (which also meant that it differed from
plant to plant).  In fact when Classic was first reborn the sugar manufacturers 
took out a full page NYT article lambasting Coke for not really using the 
original formula.  But they hadn't been using it for a while and nothing
every came of it.

I'm not sure which upsets me more; that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
