There's an "organic" soda I buy at the supermarket whenever I see it's on sale. Root beer and orange. No corn syrup, sugar only. It's awesome, but way too frickin' expensive to buy regularly.
If major manufacturers are switching back, I may give them a try.
Didn't Coke make the switch during the "New Coke" debacle? They brought back the "original formula" but they had switched it from sugar to corn syrup?
I always thought that was intentional, to try and disguise the difference in taste. Rather than just change the formula one day, they switch to an obviously different formula, take the expected protests and bring back "Coke Classic" but with corn syrup. It was the one way to make the switch while deflecting complaints. Few people would have an old coke and a "Coke Classic" to try side by side.
