What is up with the new taste of coke? Is it just Canada?

Question

Coke has changed over the last couple months. Its new taste is unpalatable. This is not in my head. I was a big coke drinker, so I bring it up in conversations with people from time to time, and they all find the same to be true. I have spoken to a couple people who are just as upset as I am. And, like me, they have done the unthinkable for a Coke drinker, and switched to Pepsi. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this? Or knows what is going on? I guess Coke could have just changed their recipe, because it went so well for them in the 80s with new coke.

Answer 1

Coke serves jewish interests,boycott it and switch to pepsi.

Answer 2

Yes! I was wondering if I was the only one that noticed it! My parents have not noticed it, they said it was just me.

But I find in all the Olympic cans, there is weird flavored Coke in there.

However, if you buy the normal looking cans, you get normal tasting Coke!

I live in the US, in Las Vegas, if that helps you pinpoint at all where the weird Coke is coming from.

Answer 3

Well I live in Canada and have not tasted a difference. I was at the movies today and had like a large coke and it tasted normal to me.

Answer 4

Whoa! Totally true! I never really noticed that THAT was the change until you mentioned it though. I have still stuck to coke even up until this very day, but for the past few months or so, I have noticed that something just isn't the same. It hasn't been as good I guess, it hasn't been as satisfying and filling and thirst quenching and refreshing as it used to be. So often times when my fridge has coke along with some other soft drinks, I usually chose another one over coke lately, usually Barq's which is sooo good :D I hope coke gets some complaints and switches back to whatever it is that makes it so amazing! Now when I drink coke I will at least realize what is different, duh the recipe :P Well possibly... maybe they changed their resources for where they got their cans, or prepare and recycle the metal in a different way now, leaving a different taste.. Thats a possibility too..

Answer 5

They did that awhile back, "new coke". Look for "coke classic". They sell both.

Answer 6

Maybe with corn prices rising they are using a different sweetener. I drink diet Coke and I haven't noticed a difference.

Answer 7

I used to drink coke and other soft drinks, but I have abstained, because of certain unpleasant personalities at Coca cola Singapore.

In addition, soda is unhealthy. I am 32 and I think I should start taking care of my own health.  

By the way, Coca cola Singapore at Tuas took over many of the soda brands and other brands already. In Singapore, Sprite, Schweppes, F&N, A&W Root Beer, 100 Plus, Minute Maid refreshment/Nourishment, Qoo, Heaven & Earth Green Tea, Seasons drink and Ice Mountain mineral water are now all under Coca Cola Singapore.
