From memory, what 20 years ago, they tried to introduce a corn syrup fructose to replace the sugar cane derivative into Coke. It was cheaper. People rebelled. It didn't taste the same. So Classic Coke with the old formula was introduced as the preferred alternative to the New Coke.
Now they have Coke Zero which is really an alternative name for Diet Coke, but more appealing in image for men - and militants.
Pepsi responded with Pepsi Max.
Don't know if the rumour's true the Saudi royal family bought out Royal Crown Cola.

What would you call the Palastinians? 1st Nations Israelis? Aboriginal Israelites? Their country is called Palestine, the fact that most of it has been conquered & is now Israel hasn't changed the name of what's left.
. Egypt and Israel have a common problem - the so called Palestinians

Ah mmichael my friend I knew I could count on you to remember those dark days in the early 1980s. Robert Woodruff the Owner of Coca Cola had just passed and they tried claiming he had taken the secret of the recipe to the grave with him!

The operation was out of Quebec. An alternative line for busy bevarge bottlers when liquor became legal again in the US in 1932. Booze flowed in Canada and fortunes were made during Prohibition. My father's experience job as a truck triver landed him a plum staff position as a high ranking officer's unofficial chauffeur in WWII. Stories there.

New Coke sucked! I think Pepsi Clear was a Zionist conspiracy. Who would make clear soda that isn't made from a lemon lime hybrid?

The Coca-Cola Company introduced a new clear diet cola yesterday to counter the recent foray by its archrival, Pepsi, into so-called New Age beverages with Crystal Pepsi. But Coca-Cola declined to anoint a clear Coke and reached to one of its second-tier brands in naming its newest drink: Tab Clear.
Yes, my own fault for being unclear. What I meant was the Palastinians' nation is called Palastine. Having been conquered & driven into exile has not altered that.
I call them Syrians, Jordianians and Egyptians. Thats what they were before 1947
