    Because of the "New Coke" blunder will "Coke Classic" ever go back to being just plain old "Coke" or is it a copyright thing?

    Question #53761. Asked by LeakyPickle. (Jan 06 05 10:08 AM)

    		The copywrite is theirs anyway so they can name the soda however they decide. That said "old" Coke before the change to fructose is a different product and the taste is different from corn syrup so to split hairs "old" coke is different than Classic because of the ingredients used. So when one says "old" they mean the real McCoy back when corn was used. New Coke is the second generation Coke using fructose and a change in cola taste to be more like Pepsi. Classic is the same "old" cola but uses fructose so it is a third generation Coke.

    Old...Corn/original cola base
    New...Fructose and flavor change
    Classic...Old cola flavor/fructose

    I’ve long heard that Coke tastes different now compared to how it tasted in the 1970s. I’m not referring to its old original recipe using cocaine, also not referring to the 1986 New Coke Vs. classic Coke fiasco, but rather the rumor that a taste difference occurred when they switched from using sugar to corn syrup. When did this switch happen? Is/was the taste difference discernable?
