Somewhere in the past couple year or so CocaCola has changed the formula
for ClassicCoke again. I suspect they've substitued chicory for
something (probably because its cheaper). The reason I suspect such is
that after drinking a couple cans of Coke over a couple days I notice a
certian particularly unpleasant effect - I get the shits and its a
particularly smelly, urgent, loose dark brown fluffy stuff that doesn't
burn (unlike what you get with spicy rotted meat - indian or paki
'ringburner' stuff) - more like pissing out your ass. The reason I
suspect such is that it is exactly the same effect I get when drinking
chicory flavored coffee (chicory was actually an ersatz coffee that has
now become a "flavor"). My little sister indepentantly reported the
same phenomena. My little brother doesn't drink coke for political
reasons. I don't get the same thing if I drink mexican, chinese, or
kosher coke so I think it may be restricted to the US.

Re #2: Huh. I must not react to chicory the same way, if that's the
case, because I haven't noticed anything like that.
In the last couple weeks I've taken a liking to RC Cola instead of Coke,
though.

Actually the change is due to the fact that now they use corn syrup to
make it sweet. Pepsi tastes like coca cola left out overnight.

Hi, >octor <lu here.. new to the Grex scene...
Well as for Coke, tried some lately. Did fine, but I have a iron
stomach. In truth, like most from Texas, I drink Dr. Pepper and lately
Mountain Dew Livewire. ;)

i'm coming down from a dr pepper addiction; i've mostly switched to cherry
coke. less weird aftertaste, i think. (i'm not texan, but my mother's
collaborator who introduced me to it is.)

sugared pop is nasty, and Dr Pepper is the worst. I think pop is the
only "bad-for-you-food" that I don't imbibe. Small mercies.

As a long-time Mt Dew drinker, I tried the livewire stuff as soon as it came
out. As far as I'm concerned, it's exactly the same as every other orange
soda that Pepsi has produced. In a blind taste test between that and, say,
orange slice, I don't think I could tell the difference.

I almost never drink pop with sugar and yet I'm still fat. It must be
the cheesecake ;)

Sugared pop by itself will not make you fat unless you drink a hell of a lot
of it. It is everything you eat and drink plus lifestyle, i.e. are you active
or not, that makes you fat. I am getting damned sick and tired of people
blaming one thing or another of causing overweight. It is everything
together, not just one thing. If I just cut out the Pepsi I drink I will not
loose weight unless I also cut out or down on the junk food, butter, etc. and
I start exercising more.

Depends on your definition of fat, but I've known a lot of people that
will stop drinking sugary drinks and drop 20 lbs fairly quickly.
