So stocks in coke dropped after Ronaldo moved his drink. I don't understand why anyone would even blink, but i imagine coke execs are incandescent. A bit off topic, but i do have a gripe against coke. It seems that since the UK introduced that silly sugar tax, they have started adding more sweeteners and reducing sugar, even in real coke. I don't remember it tasting so uninspiring a few years ago. I think they've spoiled the recipe, maybe Ronaldo also thinks so.

- daveoc64 5y agoI don't think the "sugar tax" has had an impact on the flavour of Coca Cola. Its current formula in the UK contains too much sugar to apply for any sort of exemption or reduction in the soft drinks sugar levy. The amount of sugar in Coca Cola sold in the US is similar to the UK (about 10.6g per 100ml).
- redblacktree 5y agoI wonder if you're also now getting High-Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) instead of cane sugar. Here in the states, it's well-known that "Mexican Coke" (made with actual sugar) tastes better than regular coke. (made with HFCS) Check the label and report back?
