"Less Sugar" Coke is NOT original taste that we have come to love!
The so-called "Original Taste" Coke with less sugar is ****! It is NOT original taste and should not be labeled as original taste. I don't mind it when you add additional flavours and options to the market, but do not take away existing flavours. It is currently extremely difficult to get 1.5 or 2 litre original Classic Coke, if not impossible. It is as if the "less sugar" version has replaced the actual Original Classic Coke, and the taste is certainly not the same!

03 Jan 2020, 11:22Hi Coca-Cola Customer Care,
Thanks for the response. For those who don't know, the personal response I received from CC SA, was:
"We’ll always continue to offer Coca-Cola Original Taste. We know consumers love it and they want to be able to choose the right Coca-Cola for them, whether with sugar, reduced sugar or one of our low kilojoule Coca-Cola’s. Coca-Cola Original Taste will remain available in the cans, smaller bottles and 1L bottles."
This is my response to that:
1. "Original Taste" is not original taste with less sugar. The new less sugar is a different taste, so please stop saying it is original taste.
2. It is all very well having the normal sugar version in 1L or smaller bottles, but this means we now have to pay a lot more for it. The smaller bottles cost more when trying to get the same 2L amount. Unfortunately some shops also do not stock 1L bottles. So, now I am forced to buy four smaller bottles to get closer to a 2L.
All I am asking is to give people a proper choice. Please bring back actual original taste 2L bottles.
