The way I understand it the "new coke" was the first coke sweetened with Corn syrup. When they brought back Coke Classic they kept up with the corn syrup.
Corn syrup's a cheaper product.
I see the big thing that Amy just made that up because it sounded good. It didn't happen.

I caught their appearance on MTP yesterday morning.
The thing that got me was that despite acknowledging that the deficit is now smaller than was ever projected by anyone, her first impulse seemed to be to raise taxes.
Hasn't the point been proven once again?
If you're on the right side of the Laffer curve, lowering taxes increases revenue. Since revenue has gone up since the tax cuts, doesn't it sound like we're on the right side?

Don't get me wrong, I live in ND and I've already voted so I have no true interest in this. I think that the point is being missed.
And perhaps Klobuchar's comments are being taken out of context a little. Diet Coke is still a coke product. And if Coke uses Corn Syrup which is a direct competitor of Sugar, it would make some sense that even a Diet Coke would be soda non-gratis at the Beet Sugar plant. Also, Diet Coke is sweetened with Aspartame which I would also assume is a direct competitor of Sugar... Seems to me that Klobuchar's comments might have been inline and that Kennedy is trying to spin it a little.
Maybe I'm wrong? Anyone been to the sugar plant or know someone who works there?

Brenarlo's family are sugar beet farmers(owners of Crystal Sugar) so he's the one to ask about that.

Coke made with sugar is available about one week a year. You pretty much have to be in a large urban environment to find it.

Commie-bastages! If I had the choice I'd buy the sugar product.

Mexican law forbids bottling soda with corn syrup - so if you want real sugar Coke, go down to your local [i]supermercado[/i] and look for Mexican-bottled Coke.
Kosher Coke is also made with sugar, not corn syrup.

I was wondering if sodas, and juices or whatever uses corn syrup, would have to go back to using sugar, if the competition for corn becomes to great for alternative fuels.
