In hindsight, it seems to me that "new" Coke was a marketing scam to cover the fact that their product didn't taste the same with corn syrup in the formula, so they pulled it off the market, gave us "new" Coke for a year pkus, and then, riding a red horse, here comes "Coca Cola Classic", and the chokehold Pepsi had on the soft drink market since Michael Jackson and Alfonso Riberio appeared in a commercial together, was loosened up. They both taste, as Berkely Breathed put it, like "Malted battery acid."...the rise of "Bud Light" is a humorous tale, as well...soda is gross, though, bottom line...Chocolate Milk FTW
