Coca-Cola Just Dropped a New Soda 40 Years in the Making

Fans are saying it’s the best yet.

One soda I’ll always order off the menu is a crisp Coke over ice. While there have been many new variations of the beverage—from Cherry Coke and Vanilla to Orange Cream and Cherry Float, the original flavor will always be my go-to. 

Coca-Cola has been a staple brand whenever the craving for a carbonated beverage hits for over a century, thanks to its delicious, sweet flavor. Now, the brand is offering a notable formula switch for the first time in nearly 40 years—and it has sparked some serious chatter among fans online.

Coca-Cola Is Launching Soda Made With Cane Sugar

Coca-Cola has launched a new way for customers to enjoy its iconic beverage—an 8-ounce glass bottle made with cane sugar rather than high-fructose corn syrup, now available at retail locations nationwide. This marks the first widespread reintroduction of cane sugar in U.S. Coca-Cola products since the 1980s, when the company transitioned to high-fructose corn syrup.

The brand first introduced the cane-sugar formula this fall in a 12-ounce single-serve glass bottle served at select restaurants across the U.S. This launch followed the company’s announcement in July that it would begin replacing high-fructose corn syrup with cane sugar in certain products after fan demand.

If you’re worried about a change in flavor from what you know and love, don’t fret, the original taste of the beloved soda is still very present. Many people who have tried it compared it to Coca-Cola sold in Mexico, which already uses cane sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup and comes in a glass bottle.

On a Reddit thread, fans shared that the new variation of the soda has a “nice bite” to it.

[P] Oh, of course it does. So, looking into this again—now—out of morbid curioisity? Aspartame has been linked to genetic changes causing glioblastoma severity. The brain, AGAIN. This is why I don't trust aspartame and I call it a poison. The amount of evidence out there strongly suggesting that it's a neurologically toxic substance is absurd, and impossible to ignore. Aspartame negatively affects the brain, even in smaller doses, I'd stake my life savings on that.

[P] The thing is? Even in non-neurological studies of aspartame? Inheritable learning and memory deficiencies have been observed, measurably. The evidence is all there for a neurologically toxic substance, there are enough non-controversial studies since the '90s to give any studious person pause. But capitalism loves its cheaply-produced, addictive poisons. And neurotypicals love capitalism. So getting the data one needs is a tricky prospect. Frustrating, too.

[P] Oh, and the reason I call aspartame a poison? It isn't just its potential carcinogenic qualities, but rather something it shares in common with erithyritol—but worse. There's been connections for some time between aspartame and blood-brain barrier weakening, brain lesions, brain tumours, and lymphoma. I won't trust aspartame as anything other than a toxic substance until thorough, long-term, non-American investigations NOT linked to Big Sugar have taken place.

[P] It's just funny, isn't it? Refined sugar is toxic and chemically addictive. A sane world that wanted to be informed would never use refined sugar in anything, only tolerating degrees of naturally occurring glucoses within fruits and such, and preferring safe glycosides and mogrosides. But this is a neurotypical world, and their Dark Triad overlords demand that slurried slaves consume refined sugar and aspartame. What a world this is. I'm not a fan.

[P] I feel this is endemic of the world we live in, where what's objectively the safest options are by far the most difficult to acquire. There's something so neurotypical about that. I mean, being hacked by marketing instead of bothering to be informed by reading materials from trustworthy scientific stories and knowing how to collate data. Such is life. It's frustrating, though. A world where everyone wanted to be informed would be utopian—also very neurodivergent.

[P] Yep, stevia can be mutative, but my understanding of it is that it's the dosage that matters. It's unlikely for one to consume enough for it to have such an effect. That's why it continues to be more safe than any other option other than monk fruit (which is also safe, as far as I recall). Though I'm sure that Big Sugar would love for people to believe orherwise, considering how hard they tried to block it in the USA. Which is really telling, frankly.
