You can taste the difference between corn syrup and sugar?!! Give me a break. In 1979, SIX YEARS AGO, Coke began to use a mixture of corn syrup and sugar. The formula was something like 10% corn to 90% sugar. The percentages gradually changed until 1981 when the mixture was about 50-50. In 1983, COKE STARTED USING 100% CORN SYRUP. So, sports fans, for the past two years you have been drinking Coke with corn in it. BUT, the can STILL said sugar, so you were happy. NOW, the same old Coke in a new can with the word CORN SYRUP on it has everyone up in arms. Flame me for fun and profit. ihnp4!drutx!hardlj Larry Hardouin PS. Iced tea - the REAL, Real Thing
