Pepsi Retro... wtf is wrong with Coke ?

So.... Pepsi & 7up have come out with retro versions that use sugar rather than corn syrup. So wtf is wrong with Coke? People have been scrambling for Mexican Coke since it has sugar instead of corn syrup, so how out of touch with the consumer is that company? I'm not a big coke drinker, but would rather have a rum & coke with cane sugar rather than corn syrup.

But you would think market share is everything in that business. They're both big enough to buy futures on sugar.

Crown Royal on the rocks. Why mess up good taste with some kind of sugar additive

I'm a rum junkie.... in my DNA, can't help it.
Just like some people are cross-eyed.

corn syrup is way cheaper in the US, corn is everywhere, ask our friends in iowa

and of course, cane sugar tastes better and is better for you

The only coke I buy is from Mexico. Cost more, but it`s all about the taste and flavor to me. They use sugar cane instead of corn syrup like it should be. Try one if you get a chance. You will not be disappointed if you like coke.

Can't beat the taste of drinks in glass bottles....whether it is coke/pepsi, milk, beer or wine.

Nothing better than an ice cold Coke in a glass bottle.

Used to buy canned beer, but now only drink beer in the bottle. Tastes allot better.

I've been trying to cut back on them but they are bubbly deliciousness embodied. They are empty calories though.
