Rob, go here:  http://www.snopes.com/cokelore/newcoke.asp  According to
this, there was no cover-up when they changed to corn syrup.  Coke just
made a bad mistake trying to beat Pepsi!

Sorry no wives tale, true stuff. Just find some older than 84 Coke and
check
the contents. No corn syrup in there.

I think the deal about Coke trying to "wean us off" the good stuff was
an
old wife's tail.  Coke really did "mess up" trying a new formula.

IIRC It tasted like flat Pepsi.....

Danny,
 If you recall back around 1985 Coca Cola introduced the New Coke which
was
a huge failure and then the introduction of the new Classic Coke?
Well this was all a well planned ploy to get Coke drikers away from
their
old Coke and put out a planed failure interrim pop to get your taste
buds
missing the old stuff. The deal was to get rid of the cane based Coke
and
start bottling the cheaper corn syrup based stuff. Most diehard Coke
drinkers knew there was a difference but since there wasn't anything to
compare it to they (we) just accepted it. If you want REAL Coke and you
live
near a large city with Jewish populous buy a bunch of Passover pop when
they
bottle it during Passover. Around Columbus it sells like wildfire since
people have caught on to it. As my wife and I call it, it's a real burn
your
throat Coke :) Rob
