Did they bring back the idiot that changed the formula in the 80s??
That was not idiocy, but a well-planned way to remove regular refined sugar and replace it with HFCS, which is cheaper but tastes slightly different.
“new Coke” to “classic Coke” back to “Coke”.
Didn’t change the recipe, just a way of changing the ingredients to a cheaper one. You’ll note that you can get original Coke in Mexico, and occasionally in stores that cater to the Hispanic population...
