Coca-Cola does not have the ability to taste, therefore it cannot “taste differently.”

I apologize, you are correct. Here's a rephrase of the question:

Did the woke leftists in charge of the formula at Coca Cola change it so that it tastes differently than before to people who drink it?

While your question is humorous, you’re still using the adverb as an adjective.
