Well, the Tuomas bot still works. ;-)

I thought the Coke theory was that they snuck out new coke to cover over the fact that they were planning to make classic coke using cheaper ingredients.

Yeah, it was to cover the switch to corn syrup.

All sugar should be made from MAPLES. This is the best and tastiest form of sugar ever.

Not any more! Oh yes. I have listened to several years of Irish beet farmers complaining about how Oxfam has destroyed Irish farming.
