It hasn't been that long since they stopped making the stuff. I don't think that it could deteriorate that fast. Coke Classic just tastes different! For whatever reasons, it does not taste like the old stuff that I have compared it to. Maybe they actually burned the old formula and Coke Classic is just what they could managed to whip up from memory. It doesn't taste the same, though. Bill Baker intelca!cadsys!bbaker
