“Classic Coke” is absolutely not the same as the original pre-New Coke coke.
After some discussion with other freepers, I thought it may be that classic coke no longer contained regular sugar like the original coke did.
You’re right, it doesn’t. Took me a while (and a trip to France, where they still use sugar) to figure that out.
Thank the Lord for imported (sugar-based) Mexican Coke...try one and you’ll never look back!
