  1. Only had US coke in late 1990s, (1997?) in LA on stop over return from Europe to Australia. The coke was different, and not as good, but also was served at room temp, never the best way for coke. Much before that there was the major issue when CocaCola changed formula and the old coke was being hoarded, especially in USA, as most people hated the change. They apparently reacted to blind taste testing where Pepsi , slightly sweeter and smoother, often was preffered. I was flying into Europe, and had coke on the flight, asked the stewardess about whether they were serving the NEW coke. She said 'Not sure, will check', shortly was back with the can and yes the new formula. I detected the difference on first sip. Have had CocaCola in Japan, Korea, HongKong, Singapore, Spain, Italy, Sweden and UK also and even these had in many cases differences. On the whole the CLASSIC is still besy, though the new flavour was reversed, due to public reaction, I am convince CocaCola company have progressively slipped in the new formulation silently, no fan fare like last attempt, over time. I now rarely drink coke with sugar, only Diet or Sugar Free, though not entirely trusting the alternative sweeteners used. On opportunity I still preffer the Classic flavour when occasional available, though no longer convinced it is the CocaCola I know from 1960s. I dislike the many altered formulation like Vanilla, Cherry, etc they have offered for sometime, do not know if those are in USA also, but Europe especially and many coutries also have variants. An inusial variant I first had in Germany, popular around Europe, was a blend of CocaCola and Fanta (Orange), which also had competitor brands, sold a Spezi Mix or Mezi Mix, or other names. Quite nice refreshing flavour and nice cold drink in hot weather. Interesting in Europe Fanta is not orange colour, but a pale yellow, more lemon than orange colour, as red food colouring agent is banned as a carcinogen for at least nearly 40 years now.
