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? Steve Wolf Hewlett-Packard Company {ihnp4|hplabs}!hpfcla!woof Fort Collins, Colorado
