Coke tastes different

[naap51stang]

Do to health reasons, I've had to make the switch to the "non sugar" (diet) varieties in the last couple of

years. But, you should have tasted the soda back in the 60's when it was made with cane sugar and not

HFCS (high fructose corn sweetner). It didn't have the "bite" it does now.

There is a Dr. Pepper bottler in texas that still bottles Dr. Pepper with pure imperial cane sugar.

My dad ordered a couple of cases and you DEFINITELY can taste the difference.

:alien:

One must also remember there is two different types of coke.

Coke in Canada/US is: Coca-Cola Classic

Coke in the UK is: Coca-Cola

From what I've heard they trailed the "new" coke recipe in Canada and it never caught on, so they re-released the old recipe and called it "Coke Classic". It seems that the new recipe was either always in the UK (I don't remember otherwise) or the "new" coke caught on.

There is a thing I heard where you put about 10 peanuts in a glass bottle with coke in it and the peanuts give the coke a good flavor and then you can eat the coke flavored peanuts afterwards.

And the Fanta tastes better in Mexico too :p

My strongest experience with this was with cherry coke from my local fish and chip shop. They were importing cherry coke from another country and selling in their fridge and it had a very very different taste to standard UK cherry coke. You could literally put them side by side and recognise the difference.

I actually stopped buying it from there in the end whenever I got chips as the taste was sufficiently different enough for me to really not like it!

If you really want to see the difference between the taste of Coke among the different countries, you can go to the World of Coke in Atlanta, GA. From what I remember, they have every single variant of Coke from all of the countries that it is shipped to or made in. I found it really interesting the last time I went.

That sounds really cool. It's a shame there's no easy way to get some of this mexican coke I've heard so much about in the UK.

:rofl: ... *Continues drinking can of Canadian Coca-Cola Classic*

fountain soda tastes different because it is different. The syrup is mixed with the carbonated water as it's served, so the mixture ratio won't necessarily be the same as with the canned or bottled product, which is combined in a more controlled way.

Hell yea the coke in mexico is the best.

What i remember is buying it in the the little glass bottles and you drink it and give the bottle back and they give

u some of the money back because they send them back to be used again.
