Is it consistent, or could you have just gotten an "old" can or bottle?

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.

Or the best solution - restrict yourself to Martinis.

I've heard that they actually use slightly different recipes for different markets.

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.

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

Coke tasted better in Toronto than here

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

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

You can borrow some of mine. Heck, you can keep it:-D

Wait till you hit 30, Nish, and you suddenly won't be able to see your feet... ;-)

Did you try Coke Zero? It's like Diet Coke without the soap.

:laugh: I take it you've never tried an American one? The totl people really didn't like it. I didn't think it was that bad, just utterly unlike any Mars bar I'd ever tasted before

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.

The new one with the twist of lime tastes a lot better.

I had a REALLY bad can of Dr. Pepper once, it was from a vending machine but had expired by about 3 months. I called the coca-cola company about it with the product code. They really took that seriously. There must be some agreement that stock is rotated frequently and old product is not supposedly available.
