until you guys started discussing this issue I had not know they did not use cane sugar in coke anymore.I know just before I had to stop drinking them 5 years ago,It had gottten to where the taste was just not right about my coke's.A bit of a salty taste.Guess I know now what it was.I loved my cokes 4-5 a day.Tried my sip of my grandaughters the other day and did not like the taste anymore
