Did Coke change their beverage formula? It tastes differently than before.
Tasting Coca Cola | 20 January 2022 | Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin

Posted on 01/20/2022 5:11:19 AM PST by MeneMeneTekelUpharsin

Good morning everyone. I drank a Coca Cola after church services this past Sunday at our get together and it tasted funny. I was wondering if my encounter with Covid some months ago had affected my taste. Then, wifey bought some coke yesterday and it tasted the same as it did Sunday. It doesn't taste like Coke used to taste. Anyone else notice the change?

Other things taste normal to me so was wondering what is going on with Coca Cola. Anyone know if they changed the formula? Is it now Biden Cola?

My Coke hasn’t changed....It’s still white and a hell of a drug.

Hmmm, interesting. I thought Mexican Coke was made from the coca plant, which is mostly grown in Colombia, Bolivia, and Peru.

I’m a Diet, Caffeine-free coke-aholic. (I know, no caffeine and no sugar, WHY BOTHER!) Since Covid it tastes different, like it’s flat! For my health I should hope this never resolves ! On another Coca-Cola company product, where id Diet Barg’s root beer go? Not to be found anywhere except in the fountain machines at a few fast food restaurants.

Im tasting too much cinnamon. The caps giveit away, I have friend that used to deliver pepsi, the cokes are probably 6 months old. The red caps are used to designate summer manufacture, the greens i think are winter or spring. Theres white and yellow too. Corn syrup cokes go flat and bad in 6 months.

It’s the Covid, you lose your sense of taste and smell. Coke seems like diet pepsi.

Actually, originally there was cocaine in Coke. Hence the name. When I was a child my mother could go to the drug store and get a small vile of morphene which she gave to my sister who had painful periods. She had to sign for it, if I recall. Then, WAR ON DRUGS!!!

need to do comparison tests with other sodas you know well. see if any taste off. see if they are CC products also (same bottler).

could be a single ingredient still doesn’t taste ‘right’ for you, or could just be a bad syrup batch at the bottling plant (even though two separate instances should make that much less probable).

Sorry to be of no help. I haven’t had that obesity and diabetes causing drink from a woke company in about 5 years.

It tastes just like Shasta cola.
Oh wait, it IS Shasta! I’m too white for any Coke products.

Passover Coke in the glass bottles also uses real sugar.

I’m betting the majority of people who think it changed had COVID. I’m still waiting for some things to taste the same.

I don’t drink much soda but when I have an upset stomach, I drink Coke made in Mexico because it uses real sugar not HFCS.

It seems to have a slightly salad taste to it. Probably a little fresh squeezed salad juice added. They way they word the article it sounds like they are going to sneak the vaccine in without you knowing it. They know why people don't take the jab, and it's not the fear of the needle.
