Since Bethlehem is only an hour away from me, I had been meaning to take a ride out there for a while, and I finally got to today. I stopped at a Giant Foods store, and yes, they were fully stocked with sucrose-sweetened Coke Classic, Caffeine Free Coke, and Cherry Coke.

I got a 20 oz. of Cherry and a 12-pack of Caffeine Free. Both really hit the spot. When I had the Cherry, it didn't taste that different to me at first, but as I kept drinking it, I noticed that the cherry flavor just seemed to stand out a lot more, and that's a good thing. Now I'm hoping that maybe next time I take a trip over there, they'll have sucrose-sweetened Vanilla Coke.

On another note, it appears that their Pepsi is sweetened with a blend of HFCS and sucrose. The 20 oz. and 2 liter bottles just had the default "and/or" listing, but looking at a pack of 24 oz. bottles, the ingredients label read "high fructose corn syrup, caramel color, sugar". Very curious.
