  Strange...here in Ithaca (boondocks) we still have those gold top
  cans that list sugar as the second ingredient.  I haven't seen 
  Classic yet.  And by now my taste buds are so confused I don't
  know if these gold top cans that say sugar are old or new coke.
  My boyfriend claims they are old coke.  And they're still selling
  it at the campus store...
