In the hands of the inventor, John Pemberton, Coca Cola was nothing but a hopeless fomula in the hands of a tragic pharmacist; with the help of Asa Chandler, it became a household name. Everybody was talking about the cola soda so much that people wanted it to drink while they fought in Wars. And drink it while the shot guns they did, for it wasn’t long before Coca-Cola plants were popping up across the globe.

This global icon was so popular that they decided to change the formula: what else would you do after years of success with one core product, except change it? So, in 1985, Coca-Cola came out with a new formula, which may seem random, unless one were to consider the core changes in this new formula. Now longer was cane-sugar an ingredient, but the cheaper, high-fructose corn syrup, which plagues the cola industry to this day. There are a lot of people who find it curious that they re-released the “original” formula quickly after the horrendous failure, under the guise of “Coca-Cola Classic.”

Sneaky, sneaky Coca-Cola, looks like you switched it up when nobody was looking. How very corporate of you – perhaps one day you will have your balls smashed like Dominos Pizza, when you realize that you can’t shit on your customers and get away with it.

Why not offer a sugar-cane line – then I might actually drink it!
