I don't drink alcohol but I could tell you about the devastation I felt when Mtn Dew went to high fructose corn syrup.

Sure, downvote my pain, you monsters
Your corn-based pain amuses me, cretin. I'll deign some packets of cane sugar to alleviate your pathetic woes.

(Honestly, HFCS prob has wreaked legit havoc via the "death by 1000 papercuts" method.)

I am groveling in pure joy
what does HFCS have to do with the availability (or not) of cork?
This isn't reddit
Tbf upvote/downvote systems are useless without context.

If it's users with similar upvote/downvote patterns as you = higher weight, then it's more effective.

You have no compassion
I believe you. I didn’t experience the switchover, but the real sugar/original recipe “Throwback” from about a decade ago was yummy. Can’t get it anymore, though.
Pro tip: lasts longer if you mainline it
happened to me when coke bought out moxie. now its bitterless hfcs trash. Devastation indeed, RIP.
You feel my pain, brother
I thought moxie was Orca brewing, is that who Coke bought?
idk new hampshire cans sold out to coke. pennsylvania still makes the bottled ones and i believe theyre still sugar.....but it dosent taste the same. the new hampshire product was superior. coke nerfed it to nothing.
