I always hope that every new Coke that is unveiled will taste the same as the original Coke. I saw my co-worker drinking the new Coke Zero and asked her if it tasted like the original. She enthusiastically declared it to be, and zealously encouraged me to try it soon. So I did. A couple of weeks later when somebody asked me if Coke Zero tasted like original Coke I said, "No. It's the chemical approximation of what a computer might think Coke tastes like."
