Arghh, yes.  Ingredients from the Coke Classic in my hand:

CARBONATED  WATER,  HIGH-FRUCTOSE  CORN SYRUP AND / OR SUCROSE,  CARAMEL
COLOR, PHOSPHORIC ACID, NATURAL FLAVORS, CAFFEINE.

It still gives the ol' throat burn,  however.  Does anybody have a stash
of the old stuff  that can  compare  taste  with the  Classic?  Are they
really the same?  Can the taste  buds  discern  the  difference  between
fructose, sucrose, and glucose?
