“You may have bought Mexican Coke, which uses cane sugar.”
Yep, there’s always a risk of having real sugar instead of HFCS when you buy products that are not made in the US.
I have had that happen to me and I have not had COVID; started after I passed 60. I used to love to drink black coffee. I liked it so black that it bordered on espresso. One morning several years ago I drank some strong coffee with a somewhat bitter taste (I still liked it). Later that morning I became violently ill and started throwing up. Even though I don't think the coffee caused it, it was the last think I'd had before the nausea hit and for several weeks, I didn't drink it at all. Eventually I started drinking coffee again, but from that time onward I have had to have cream in my coffee to smooth out the bitterness and acidity. I no longer drink as much either. I used to love the flavor so much I drank decaf in addition to regular (but could not take caffeine all day). Now I drink about 3 regular cups of coffee per day (with cream) and I usually have to have a palette cleanser afterward to get rid of the bitter aftertaste.
Another taste that changed was IPA beer. I used to love extremely hoppy IPAs, but now the flavor profile does not appeal to me. They taste like someone poured some grapefruit juice into a beer. Now I cannot abide anything hoppier than Sierra Nevada Pale Ale or Samuel Adams Boston Lager.
My mother-in-law buys the canned diet cokes and they are just flat out nasty. They taste like they are watered down to near no flavor compared to the fountain diet cokes. I can’t stomach drinking them. I don’t buy coke products and in general will drink water but if I am inclined to drink a diet soda, Diet Dr. Pepper or Diet Mt. Dew are my go to drinks.
Sorry, you got the Covid Tongue.
I was a habitual Coke drinker for almost 50 years. I’m talking 4-5 Diet Cokes and later Coke Zero’s per day every day.
I have not had so much as a sip of any Woca Cola product since they came out against election integrity and since they told us all to be less White. The part of my Whiteness I decided to give up was supporting this company in any way.
Could be a batch of coke from a different bottling plant. The water in different areas affects the taste of the finished product.
Then there is no telling what the municipality that provides the water is putting in the water supply. Too much chlorine and OOPS! you taste it in your bottled soft drinks.
I havn’t had a Coke in decades.
Both Coke and RC original formulations were in Columbus, Georgia.
My father worked 35 years in the soft drink industry. He wouldn’t drink any of it and I haven’t had any in over 40 years. It really is just cheap candy dissolved in fizzy water.
No, possible the bottler screwed up the batch... or perhaps it had been sitting too long and picked up the plastic bottle flavor... but no Coke hasn’t changed its formulation.
If it was from a fountain, and not in a can or bottle, most likely the fountain needs to be calibrated not remotely uncommon to see the syrup to water ratios are off.
Taste loss, taste preferences and smell changes have been reported after covid infections, covid recoveries.
Coke is off my list. Pepsi only now.
Canada? Nope. They could have been 8 ounce bottles, not 10. And there was a city molded into the bottom of the glass. These bottles ended up getting mixed around a lot, so you could have a bottle from Seattle, or from Denver, (or wherever, it was 40+ years ago so give me a break...) but the actual bottler was printed on the cap.
Another thing that young bored airmen liked to do was to bet on who could get a bottle with the city furthest away from Mtn. Home.
This is what the bottles looked like:
Did they add COVID vaccine ?
Ah, that's what it was. lolol.
Step away from the soda pop. You will live a lot longer. 😉
Coke demands voter fraud so why drink it?
Better than forked Democrat tongue.
