It the real thing again.
New Coke was some nasty stuff.
Not as bad as Crystal Pepsi or Mountain Dew Black (Mountain Dew with grape flavoring and coloring added), but nasty.
They tinkered with the formula of Coke and people hated it, so they hastily added “Classic” to the orignial formula as damage control.
I guess they now believe the memory of New Coke has passed on for good.
New Coke? Bush’s fault!
I had a soda made with cane sugar for dinner last night.
Man oh man, was it good.
Ok, so the real question is, is Coke legally entitled to do so now after switching its recipe from sugar to corn syrup and being forced to acknowledge the change, or was that a myth?
“Classic” Coke is not the same stuff from the 50’s.
Coke, in the UK, never said “Classic” on it because they never marketed it there. It seems that the folks in the UK actually liked the taste of New Coke, because it was very close to Pepsi. New Coke is still marketed in the UK....
A professor at my school let it slip one day that she was part of the team that decided to change the formula, I have had her for several classes over the past couple of semesters and we manage to harass her at least once a week over it.
I will go out and stockpile classic coke then!
No.
After the New Coke/Coke Classic fiasco, the cola was never the same.
Coke Classic was not the same cola of the pre-New Coke era. It just didn’t have the same fizz, the same taste, the same oomph.
Open a Coke Classic and it will go flat in 15 minutes. Open an Original Coke and it still had fizz the next day.
I rather drink lukewarm used dishwater than Coke.
I buy tons of Mexican coca-cola.
Real cane sugar makes a difference.
It never tasted quite right to me when it returned as “Classic”. I can’t say for sure but I believe they eliminated sugar when it came back and just used corn syrup. The woman I talked to at Coke HQ said the only place you could get it with sugar was in kosher stores, and I did that for awhile, but now I’ve gone over to the dark side aka Pepsi.
Now if they would just bring back the real sugar instead of the high fructose corn syrup.
I thought it was dropped back in the fall of 1985, I had no idea they kept it around for almost 20 years.
I didn’t realize that the new Dr. Pepper/Snapple company that Cadbury spun off owned some many notable brands!
