My own experience with Coke is that I drank gallons of it when I was in college in Atlanta (Coke HQ.) It was G R E A T tasting. A year after graduation I moved to Houston to consult and the taste of the coke made there was very disappointing. I stopped drinking it. Then a friend invited me to a 50s party at the Greek church. They had the 6 oz bottles for the event and I noticed the taste was GREAT again, so I got another bottle (6 oz is not enough;^) The 2nd bottle was disappointing again. I checked the bottles and found the good one was bottled in Birmingham and the bad one was from Dallas. I concluded that the water used was the reason for the obvious taste difference.
Of course, today the formula has nasty corn syrup and the taste is bad even in Atlanta.
Fortunately I lost my taste for it and now it is only a small ingredient in Long Island Iced Tea.
That tastes GREAT ;^)
Had cane sugar in Coke in Australia and NZ, too, but it wasn't Atlanta water either.
thanks for the suggestion though, kh.
Coke changed the original formula for the worse when they brought in New Coke long ago and then reverted to a modified "original."
