Me, I'm more of a Diet Mountain Dew guy, but I'll drink Diet Coke. I can't stomach Coke Zero though.

As I was handing out the checks (we hand deliver these) and thanked everyone for all they had done in the year, I had to explain to about half the folks that, no they didn't take out "extra" money. They took out your standard Uncle Sam and Aunt Georgia tax amounts. It's just now you know what percentage of your check goes to taxes instead of only looking at the net like you do with your paycheck and the math is easy since the check shows your percentage. (Math made easy, if I give you $100, but you only get $60, your overall tax rate is 40%). I would then say if you didn't believe me pull out your last pay stub and do the math. I had a couple that actually did it and came to admit I was right.

Sounds like the Canadian Coke is like the "new" Coke formula from 1985. It tasted like Pepsi. |

Nope not that one either. We had the "new" Coke as well. The Pepsi here tastes different that there as well though. Much sweeter here.

Any chance yours still has cane sugar rather than corn syrup in it?

Nope. In fact the corn syrup is made about a mile away from my house.

That's the part I don't like about Coke or Coke Zero (which uses the same basic formula).

It may just be a variance in the formula between bottlers then. I can tell a difference in Mountain Dew between some bottlers in the US.
