That stuff sucked...tasted just like Pepsi. Funny thing was, folks would scour stores looking for "Old" Coke..then they brought out Classic and the world was good again..
would you agree that classic coke isn't the exact coke before new coke? dad swears it is close but not the same. I can't tell
When it first came back out, I thought Classic tasted just like Coke did before the change. I never could tell a difference, and that's all my family ever bought back then. When they changed we drank a lot of Mountain Dew and Iced Tea...
The orig formula was best- from the early 1900s, and diet Dew has about the most caffine in an avg soda.Quote:

Got this on Wikipedia..
"Coca-Cola executives announced the return of the original formula on July 10, less than three months after New Coke's introduction. ABC News' Peter Jennings interrupted regular programming to share the news with viewers. On the floor of the U.S. Senate, David Pryor called the reintroduction "a meaningful moment in U.S. history".[36]
The new product continued to be sold and retained the name Coca-Cola (until 1992, when it was officially renamed Coca-Cola II), so the old product was named Coca-Cola Classic, more commonly Coke Classic and later just Coke. Many who tasted the reintroduced formula were not convinced that the first batches really were the same formula that had supposedly been retired that spring. This is partially true because Coca-Cola Classic differed from the original formula, as all bottlers who hadn't already done so were using high fructose corn syrup instead of cane sugar to sweeten the drink.[39]
"There is a twist to this story which will please every humanist and will probably keep Harvard professors puzzled for years," said Keough at a press conference. "The simple fact is that all the time and money and skill poured into consumer research on the new Coca-Cola could not measure or reveal the deep and abiding emotional attachment to original Coca-Cola felt by so many people."
The company gave Gay Mullins the first case of Coke Classic"
