Coke taste issue
-
It's really odd, but Coke tasted better in Toronto than here (even though Atlanta is the home of Coca cola). Maybe the water used, and the sugar types mixed in makes a difference. As a compulsive Coke drinker, this has been worrying me these last few days. I just hope that my body's taste appreciative mechanisms will bio-adjust to the new Coke flavor - if not I am wondering if I should order Canadian Coke in mass every month.

Currently working on C++/CLI in Action for Manning Publications. (*Sample chapter available online*)The US generally uses more high fructose corn syrup in their soft drinks then the rest of the world. There are small bottling companies that still use cane sugar and people pay extra for those. It same is true about a lot of Mexican sodas and they have a following in the US. High fructose corn syrup is about the worst sugar for your body in existence. If you keep drinking it and your metabolism slows down after you turn thirty, you won't have any problem putting on weight, trust me on that one. I'm 6'1" and I struggled to make it up to 160lbs (73kg) until my late twenties and then shot right up to 210lbs (100kg). Hopefully that doesn't happen to you, but its really common.

Sugar and fat doesn't seem to have as bad an impact on me (for some strange reason) as they normally do on people. I drink lots of Coke, eat junk food, and unfortunately, I don't seem to gain a lot of weight :sigh: I am still trying to hit the 70 Kg mark (one of my life-goals).

Start eating proper food and you may gain weight :D I know lots of people who live on chips and coke but still remain thin. And people like me, who just take proper food, end up being fat because of the intake of rice.

Is it consistent, or could you have just gotten an "old" can or bottle? I'm a Dr. Pepper fan and it happens on occassion. Nothing worse than looking forward to a cold soda, only to have it ruined by a bottle that wasn't sealed! In any case, you could fire off an e-mail to CC. I've done this several times in the past and they do respond.

It's consistent - I tried Coke from different stores (I usually buy Cans).

You must have an ectomorph body build like me. I'm 6' and only 125-130 lbs (about 57-59 kg). I can eat all kinds of stuff without gaining weight. But my body tells me it doesn't like that anyway, so I generally eat healthy.

Yeah, that sounds like the body-build I have - never heard that term before. Must look it up. Thanks Justin.

True European Diet Coke is labelled 'Coke Light' and it's pretty damn sweet, I prefer UK version of 'Diet Code' certainly not as sweet as the eurpean counterpart.

Currently working on C++/CLI in Action for Manning Publications. (*Sample chapter available online*)In addition to all those replies, is it possible that what you ate here left an aftertaste that affected the Coke taste? Nice state Atlanta. Went there on business once, and loved the accent. Was horrified to learn it is Coke country and they did not offer Pepsi. :(

Lucky devil! Wait until you turn into an old fart like me. Then you'll be able to gain weight by just thinking about food. :) /ravi

IIRC, Coke slightly varies their formula (primarily the sugar content) to suit the taste of the country where it's sold. I found Coke and Pepsi tasted much sweeter in India than in the US. I stopped drinking the stuff about 10 years ago when I learned it was really good at getting rid of oil stains from garage floors. :) /ravi

It's more than that - some products that are common between nations have totally different recipes Mars Bars are an obvious one - the British Mars bar is utterly different from the American one Visible Mars Bar Project[^] (The Science[^] page shows the differences)

Don't waste your time trying to eat your way there, Nish. I've been eating unhealthy foods for lots longer than you and it hasn't helped. But thanks to karate and a gym I'm finally sneaking up on 70kg - 64 now, up from 56 a couple of years ago.:-D Try getting a little exercise, instead of absorbing calories!;P

I don't really like almonds that much, so I doubt I would like the American Mars bar. I haven't had the opportunity to try one though.
