What about carbonation?

Anyway, formula or no formula Coca-Cola will never be what it once was.

I buy bottled Cokes from Mexico. REAL SUGAR! It makes a difference. I buy them at Costco...

Goes VERY well with dark rum and lime!

“What about carbonation?”

I think originally all “sodas” were flavors mixed by the soda jerk at the soda bar with soda water. Basically the same process done manually, in what your typical fast-food soft-drink dispenser does automatically today.

“Anyway, formula or no formula Coca-Cola will never be what it once was.”

I’m sure the primary reason the flavor is cheapified is due to corn syrup substituted for real cane sugar.

Modern “gormet” soft drinks all use cane sugar, and make a big deal about that... (they do taste great too...if you like to spend 3 bucks for a 12 oz. bottle!!!)
