Heh. It's not allowed in our household because it is the very amino acid that causes PKU (phenyketonuria) - Tom cannot metabolize it!

I assume that the cost of sugar cane has become competitive with corn syrup, with corn being used more and more for fuel.

Corn syrup is pretty evil stuff, so, I guess I come down on the pro-sugar side. Still won't be buying the sodas, though.

1) Who cares? (Since it was an option.)

2) Hurray! Now let's tax it like tobacco to pay for public health.

Awesome! They shouldn't call it "Throwback" though. They should label it "Organic," so all the hippies and greenies will clamor for it.

I've never been able to taste the difference between real sugar and most artificial sweeteners so all things considered I am fine with diet sodas which means to real sugar anyway.

That said, why anybody in the world allows the swill that is Pepsi pass their lips is beyond me.

Coke with sugar rocks! I can't wait for the Passover bottles to appear.

Pepsi sweetened with anything is horrid.

I haven't been able to find the Coke with sugar- not at Passover (yellow caps, but they still had corn syrup, I think), not at the Mexican stores (regular stuff with corn syrup), nor at Costco.

I would absolutely welcome Coke made with sugar. I'm not a Pepsi girl, but good for them going back to real sugar.

Soda Pop Stop AKA Galco's - great sandwiches, too.

In Texas, quite a few of the grocery stores have Coke w/sugar in the Hispanic food section. It is way grossly sweet.
