| | Diet Coke was stripped of its artificial sweeteners, and high fructose corn syrup was added in their place. | | | Against all expectations, Classic Coke began outselling New Coke, and to everyone's surprise it kept gaining in popularity until it had reclaimed the sugar cola crown from Pepsi in early 1986. | | | Those who'd liked New Coke (but wouldn't, one would suppose, be caught dead drinking it due to all the bad feelings associated with the beverage) gravitated to Diet Coke, the product that tasted most like what they really wanted. |

| | New Coke versus Old Coke |
| | Given the billions of dollars that cola companies spend persuading consumers that the cola's image is an important part of the taste experience, blind taste tests may simply be irrelevant. | | | Coca-Cola executives and many others in the soft drink industry remain convinced that cola drinkers prefer the taste of new Coke, even while they remain fiercely loyal to old Coke and Pepsi--a loyalty due perhaps more to advertising campaigns than to taste. | | | In 1985, after 99 years with essentially the same taste, Coca-Cola decided to switch to a new, high-fructose corn syrmp, to make Coke taste sweeter and smoother--more like its arch rival, Pepsi. |
