 NB>> For a while now in my store, I've found a 4-pack from Coca-Cola made
 NB>> with just cane sugar, no HFCS.. it comes in two flavors, California
 NB>> Raspberry and Georgia Peach... and course, is at a premium price.... I
 NB>> thought for a while that we might just be a test market again, but it's
 NB>> still on the shelves.... and it is being bought and replaced, as
 NB>> sometimes there isn't any on the shelf, especially of the Raspberry
 NB>> which I prefer, and then it comes back on the shelf.... :)  Nothing in
 NB>> Classic or any other variety of Coke, though, just those two flavors...
 NB>> Oh, and these are in the classic green glass 12 oz bottles...

 DD> Just a quibble - the *real* classic coke bottles are the 7 oz. size
 DD> that was the original.   Bv)= 

I almost put in there classice green glass BUT 12 oz bottles... (G)

 DD> I scurried off to my Bing search engine
 DD> and learned that both the razzleberies and peaches are in a second
 DD> go-round status. The raspberry was first introduced on June 1, 2005 and
 DD> had been discontinued by the end of the year. Couldn't easily find
 DD> information about the peach flavour other than it was originally done
 DD> for the Japanese market. 
 DD> Sounds to me like they've been tracking the flavour usage from the mix
 DD> it on site "Freestyle" dispensers in Burger Whop and other fats food 
 DD> joints.

They could well have factored that in... I know that southern Ruth likes
to get the raspberry Coke from the Freestyle dispensers...  And they
aren't just in the fast food places... they also have them in Wegmans'
Market Cafes, too... but those of course do have the HFCS in them....

 DD> I've not seen either locally - but, then, I've not been looking ...

At Wegmans, they are a little ways away from the stock of 12-pack cans
and liters and 6-pack plastic bottles... and are in 4-pack cardboard
cartons with a handle... sitting on the shelf with similar 4-packs of
other brands....

 DD> other than for Peach Fresca - which is hen's teeth around here.

Would that be available in the Freestyle...?  In avoiding the HFCS, I've
stopped doing anything from those dispensers.... 

 DD> I have noticed some of the other variants - like ginger coke, cherry
 DD> coke, vanilla coke, cherry-vanilla-decaf ...... I pass them by.

Lots of variants around... :)

... If you put enough dressing on your salad it will taste like food.
